Decatur IN Waiting for Sick Motor Home

We got into Decatur Monday evening and found their complimentary parking with electrical hook ups.  There were about 20 motor homes in the lot.  Decatur hosts about 5 or 6 Fleetwood facilities.  I'm glad our Owner Services operator gave us the address for the shop.  They start work about 6:00 am so it was a short night.  We waited until about 9:00 am to make sure they didn't need anything else from us before we went for breakfast.  The service writer said they may get it out by early afternoon on Wednesday.  

Went to Richard's Restaurant for breakfast.  Good food and cheap.  The most expensive item on the breakfast menu was $5.50.  We had 2 pancakes, 3 bacon strips, and an egg for $3.99.  We sat next to a couple we had seen in the waiting room at Fleetwood.  He raved about their rhubarb pie, even had a piece after his oatmeal.  I'm definitely getting some of that before we leave.

Baymont Inn offers a discount for Fleetwood customers.  Micro and refrigerator/freezer, coffee pot in room.  Also wi-fi in room.  Nice and clean, but I still prefer my MH.

We've been watching the hurricane predictions since we are headed for Pensacola on Sunday.  It looks like the storms are lined up with at least 3 more out there.  I am so glad for the folks in New Orleans.  After Katrina, they should have a pass for several years at least.  The news on ABC showed a pizza delivery guy delivering a pizza during a tornado.  The tornado was obviously very close but he said it was parallelling him.  Hope he got a good tip on that one.

I'm trying out the new Google Chrome web browser.  So far I really like it.  The home page shows several windows with your last few searches and/or opening pages.  Definitely seems faster than ever Firefox.  Wish I had invested in Google a long time ago!

Time to head for dinner.
