08.28-The Grenier’s visited. We’ve mentioned Ken and Deb before; they carry our last name. We get their emails constantly whenever they leave a venue. This time when we signed in at Moody Beach the ranger on duty asked if we had family visiting. The Thousand Trails package we belong to allows sharing of ones TT package benefits but it forbids the sharing couples to visit the same RVPark at the same time. We politely stressed that we were not related. This has happened before  but generally we don’t find out until we get the email from TT thanking them for visiting. It was a very nice visit and they stayed for almost three-hours.

I haven’t mentioned this, I don’t think in the past, but for the last couple of months our water pressure kept diminishing. After some detective work I determined it was the water filter in the water compartment that might be the culprit. Carla and I went off the day before to buy new filter cartridges and a water-filter-wrench, since it was not unscrewing as it should have. Even with the wrench my physical abilities were no match for this little plastic jug. I mentioned this to Ken, since bitching about the  fragilities of our motor coaches is an accepted pass time. As we have discovered over the last eight-years RVers are always ready and willing to lend a hand to other RVers. Ken and Deb left for a few minutes and came back with his filter-wrench and a 2-pound rubber mallet.  He then proceeded to take three good whacks at the stuck filter and did manage to free it up to replace the filter cartridge. I never would have attacked it so vigorously but he did get the job done and I was so happy, hopefully now I’d have enough water pressure and water to wash the dished.

It was the next day to my dismay we determined the filter replacement was not the sole problem, since I don’t believe it had ever been replace before, but it did not solve the problem. We took the Fawcett head off and discovered we had plenty of pressure but that the head of the water-spout was cluttered with minerals and had to be replaced. Two-days later Amazon had a new head for us and all is well again.
