Gail has developed a neck problem which has been diagnosed as a bulging disc and is pinching a nerve to the arm creating a lot of pain. The neurosurgeon wanted her to try some physical therapy which consists of neck traction and isometric exercises before getting the knife out. That seems to be helping. Her neck is definitely getting long- er. I am getting tired of hooking up her neck trac- tion twice a day so I ordered her a gold neck stretcher. Don’t you think she looks very eloquent with it? We sure look forward to seeing all of you at our spring rally to be held in Stone Mountain, Georgia April 23-27th at the Stone Mountain Park Campground.

TRANSCRIPT

  • Gail and I were very

    disappointed that we had

    to cancel our annual trip

    to Florida this year due

    to Gail’s neck problems.

    We sure missed seeing

    you all. This was the

    first time we have missed

    the DOAI Lazy Days

    rally for 14 years.

    As I begin to scribble a few words to you

    folks I sit here with a terrible case of the

    CRUD for lack of another word. Sore and

    swollen throat, difficulty in swallowing, and

    I could go on but I wont. Gail has developed

    a neck problem which has been diagnosed as a

    bulging disc and is pinching a nerve to the arm

    creating a lot of pain. The neurosurgeon

    wanted her to try some physical therapy

    which consists of neck

    traction and isometric

    exercises before getting

    the knife out. That seems

    to be helping. Her neck

    is definitely getting long-

    er. I am getting tired of

    hooking up her neck trac-

    tion twice a day so I

    ordered her a gold neck

    stretcher. Don’t you think

    she looks very eloquent

    with it?

    We sure look forward to seeing all of you

    at our spring rally to be held in Stone

    Mountain, Georgia April 23-27th at the

    Stone Mountain Park Campground. This

    is a beautiful park and we hope all of

    you will be able to attend. I want to

    thank the hosts for this rally, Pat and Sue

    Stanton, Bruce & Margaret Ellen, Charlie

    & Elaine Harvell and Bob and Barbara

    Zumwalt.

    Our fall rally will be held in Lewisburg,

    WV, September 24th to the 27th, at the

    West Virginia State Fairgrounds hosted

    by yours truly and the first lady. Early

    days will be September 22nd and 23rd.

    These dates have been changed as several

    folks are going to the national rally in

    Gillette, WY and this will give them more

    time to return to Lewisburg.

    I would like to welcome Hank and Sele-

    ne Montgomery as new members of our

    group. They are from Montevallo, Ala-

    bama.

    My auto generator would not recognize that I was plugged into shore power and the generator would start

    to run AC. This was an item I had on my list for Fleetwood to check while we were at LazyDays. The

    tech suspected a loose connection. He removed the panel inside my “bulletin board” above the driver’s

    seat. Behind this panel are numerous wires and three AC controllers. (I always wondered what was back

    there!)

    Also back there was an electrical outlet. Lying on the shelf below it was a transformer. Plugging in the

    transformer solved my problem. Bob also took some wire ties and attached the transformer to the outlet,

    so that it won’t fall out while we are bouncing down the road.

    I like the auto gen and use it often. It is back up power for the AC in case of a power failure at the park

    keeping Savannah safe and cool. We had a power outage while I was visiting my brother in Deltona, FL

    on our way home from Camp Discovery. I also use it when we are dry camping so I won’t run the batter-

    ies too low. I try to remember to push the button each time I set up.

    While at the Mayport Naval Air Station in Jacksonville in January, we lost “shore” power to several

    circuits. After checking the obvious I called the “expert” Cason’s RV repair. Frank said to take the

    cover off the front of the inverter and check the connections since this was a problem that Richard

    Money had experienced. They appeared OK and were all taped. Now the inverter was functioning

    properly so we still had power but when the dryer was turned on it interrupted the circuit momentarily

    and the TV and Satellite receiver would go off and come back on. Of course then we had to sit and

    watch the receiver “reconnect” before the programs would return. I sent Fleetwood a message and they

    said that Randy, the service manager, would be at Lazydays and he would take a look at it when we

    arrived. Well the technician came the first day and spent almost 40 minutes doing exactly what I had

    done and what Frank had suggested. Then just before he was going to give up he “twisted” the wires in

    the inverter again and shore power returned. He then unplugged the RV from the pedestal and took

    each wire apart. Seems when Fleetwood connects the “stranded” wires to the solid ones they don’t al-

    ways ensure that all the wires are sufficiently twisted before they put the wire nut on. Once he redid all

    of the wires and taped all of them again we had no further problem. So bottom line is if you experience

    a loss of power on the inverted circuits (in our case microwave, washer, dryer, TV, Satellite, and plugs

    in kitchen) you might want to check these connections inside the inverter. Just remove the two screws

    on the little cover and pull the wires out (might want to disconnect from power source) and un-tape and

    check the wires. Make sure you tape them back up after completing this. Hopefully this will solve

    your problem. As a side note I have no idea why Fleetwood would put the washer and dryer on an in-

    verted circuit because who in their right mind would do laundry on battery power?

  • Barbara and I recently made a trip to Pensacola Beach for the wedding of a good friend’s beautiful daughter to a young and handsome Marine helicopter pilot. We stayed a couple of extra days and spent one of them at the Nation-al Naval Aviation Museum. What a find! If you have never been, be sure to put this on your bucket list. It is the world’s largest Naval Aviation museum with more than 150 restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Aviation. It covers 350,000 square feet of enclosed exhibit space with more aircraft located out on the flight line. They also have their own IMAX theatre with three different movies showing daily. There is a small charge for each of the IMAX movies, but museum admission and everything else is free. The museum is located at NAS Pensacola, home of the Navy’s Blue Angels and just a short 15-minute drive from Pensacola Beach. All you have to do is present your drivers license at the gate for admission to the base. Although many areas are restricted, what we were able to see was absolutely beautiful: lots of live oaks, a large golf course, military cemetery, light house, RV park, and more. Here a few pictures from our visit to the museum. If you want to see more, the full set of images is posted on my Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bzumwalt/sets/72157641305285905/.

  • We left our “D” at home for this trip and stayed at the Hilton, right on the beach with the rest of the wedding par-ty. However, if we knew then what we know now, we would have brought the “D” and stayed right across the street at the Pensacola Beach RV Resort. We liked Pensacola Beach so much, we spent another day scouting out RV parks for a return trip. The Pensacola Beach RV Resort is very nice and right in the middle of everything, but also very pricey, as you might expect. A more economical alternative just eight miles down the road, still on Santa Rosa Island with Pensacola Beach, is the Fort Pickens Campground. This is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore (National Park Service) with hook-ups for 50A and water for only $26/night or $13 with a Senior Pass. We also liked the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park at Santa Rosa Beach. This is a large campground with bungalows and cabins, in addition to tent and RV camping. We like this kind of campground, because we can put our daughter’s family in one of the cabins. Full hook-ups and cable TV are $42 plus tax. Camp Gulf, down the road in Destin, is another large campground with lots of RV sites and cabins in a variety of sizes. This campground is nar-row and deep with prices ranging from low to high for those near the highway to a few premium sites right on the beach. Our favorite and the most beautiful campground is the one we will go back to first --- the St. Rosa Sound RV Resort in Navarre Beach. It is located on the Santa Rosa Sound just up from the Navarre Beach Causeway, which goes over to Santa Rosa Island. It is a very nice smaller park with 88 sites, 24 of which are waterfront. All sites are concrete with full hook-ups, including cable TV and Wi-Fi. One or more of these campgrounds would be a good site for a future BRD rally. The Pensacola Beach area has lots of the things that are high on our list, especially plenty of great restaurants. We will definitely be going back sometime soon.

    NOTE: Frank & Isabel Cason, Bob and I have been to this area and Museum and as Bob Zumwalt stated, it is certainly worth your time to visit. If you are military or retired there is a nice camp ground at the Naval Air Station. We even caught Isabel climbing in to the Blue Angel’s cockpit.

    Doug & Paula Poad met in 1971, during their senior year of high school in Sarasota, FL. They dated

    throughout college at the University of South Florida and were married on July 23, 1976. Paula was

    born in Honolulu, HI before it became a state, while her father was serving in the Marine Corps. After

    he retired, the family moved to Florida. Doug was born in Pittsburgh, PA where his father worked for

    U.S. Steel. After he retired, the family moved to Florida for Doug's senior year of high school. Paula

    shopped for groceries in the Winn Dixie where Doug worked after school and on weekends. One day,

    Paula asked Doug where the marshmallows were and Doug told her that they were out of season... it

    was love at first sight.

    After working for Allstate Insurance in Saint Petersburg, FL for two years, Doug joined the U.S. Navy.

    His commissioning as a Supply Corps Ensign in 1978 began a career that ended with his retirement

    as a Commander in 1999. Paula had owned and enjoyed horses while growing up, so while Doug was

    under the ice in the North Atlantic, she bought a 2 year old Saddlebred gelding in Virginia.

    The Navy sent Doug to Pennsylvania State University from 1986-1988 to earn an MBA. In his se-

    cond semester there, he decided that life after the Navy would include teaching at the college level.

    Sure enough, he retired in 1999... into a job teaching marketing and management classes and run-

    ning the internship program in that department at Mount Union College in Alliance, OH.

    Life, however, is what happens while you're making other plans. In 2002, while Doug and Paula

    were out riding one beautiful, unseasonably warm February day, the horses were spooked and ran

    away with them. Paula's foot slipped out of the stirrup and she came off... sustaining a very severe

    head injury. She spent more than three weeks in a coma before going to a very good in-patient

    rehab hospital in Pittsburgh. After five months of extremely hard work, she was ready to come

    home again. She still couldn't move her right side or talk, but those were things they could work

    on from home.

    Instead of continuing their travel in far-off, exotic lands, they decided that it would be easier to

    travel around the U.S. in an RV, so they bought their

    first one, a 1998 37' Fleetwood Discovery in 2005. In

    2006, they decided that it was time to find their re-

    tirement home. They wanted to look at land in NC,

    but decided to get there by driving their motor home

    to Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; and Taos, NM to visit

    family & friends and see some sights. At the end of

    this trip, on their 30th anniversary, they bought 2.5

    acres on top of Becky Mountain, just outside of Bre-

    vard, NC. They travelled to NC in their rig several

    times over the next 3 years to get the land ready to

    build on. Doug and Paula reside in Brevard with their

    two dogs (Bambi & Thumper) and cat (Chelsea), where they enjoy the beauty of the mountains and the abun-

    dance of good local music.

    FOR THE COOK

    Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls (Serves 6 to 8)

    1 1/2 to 2 pounds lean ground beef 1 Tablespoon Oil 1 Large onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 small head Cabbage, chopped 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced Tomatoes 1 can (8 ounces) Tomato Sauce 1/2 Cup Water 1 Teaspoon ground Black Pepper 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt Preparation: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion, and cook, stir-ring until ground beef is no longer pink and onion is tender. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute. *Add the chopped cabbage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until cabbage is tender. *NOTE: After browning the beef, onion and garlic, I place it in my slow cooker and then add all other ingredients to the pot instead of the skillet. I cook everything on high about 4 hours or until cabbage is done to taste and then turn on low until ready to eat. (May also be made in the pot and simmered on low for about 6 hours.)

    Membership Application

    Membership is open to all members of DOAI. Dues are $15 per year and collected in two-year increments of $30. Collecting dues every other year reduces recordkeeping and eliminates the need for members to write small checks yearly. Initial dues are prorated at $1.25 per month in order to synchronize with this schedule. If you cancel your membership, there is no refund for the current year. However, the next year will be refunded if already paid.
