Made it to Pio Pico!

On Thursday we drove down the mountain without incident and are back at Pio Pico! 

Yesterday Ted had his first check up for his hearing aids.  It is really amazing what they can tell from them.  The doctor hooked them up to her computer and runs reports.  She was pleasantly surprised that he averaged 14 hours a day of use, apparently not everyone uses them that much at first.  She could tell how many times he changed the program or the volume, was in noisy area (the casino), listened to music, tv and quiet.  Then she made some adjustments to the program.  Ted's hearing aids are behind the ear and the tube that goes down in the right ear was sticking out a little so she got a different tube and fixed that problem and she put on smaller caps on the part down in the ears so they wouldn't bother him and that seems to be working as well.  He is really pleased with them (and so am I)!

After his appointment, we met our friends Jeri and Stach for breakfast at Mission Valley Cafe (yummy) and then we went to watch Survivor (from Wednesday night) at their house.  When we got to Pio Pico I had both air conditioners going and turned on the microwave and popped the circuit also frying the satellite receiver unfortunately.  We called Dish and they overnighted a new one which we got yesterday and Ted hooked up.   My shows that I had dvr'd were all lost, but we have tv again!

We had good news from our insurance company, we were approved to replace the middle axle on the RV so will get a new one ordered and get that taken care of in the next couple of weeks!  We are very happy about that.
