Pulling the plug on our camping group, Space Coast Sams effective November 1, 2017
Very sad times. Yesterday I convened an emergency meeting of our Board of Directors of our Good Sam Chapter Space Coast Sams. Due to a lot of "perfect storm" events we concluded it was no longer viable to keep the Chapter running, and we voted for dissolution. Our Wagonmaster lost his rig in a recent tornado (Hurricane Irma), our Treasurer is moving to Atlanta Ga to be closer to family, and we lost more members to health than we can replace. Time to turn out the lights :(.

End of September, and our local theater season has started...
Summer is over, but the only changes that are noticeable are a few more out of state licence plates as the early snow-birds start their annual flock. What IS noticeable is that our local theater season has begun. Last week it was "Dogfight" at the Henegar, and this weekend it's The Adams Family Musical on Saturday (Titusville Playhouse) and Beauty and the Beast at Cocoa Village.
We have several very good community theaters in our Titusville area and feel very blessed.

Motorhome is GOOD....whew!!! :)
We just got back from Christmas a few hours ago. The access road to the storage area was clear, and the actual storage was dry with NO issues. Even the small boats and trailers that had covers were just fine....you'd never knew the wind blew ).
In the meantime, David came over and did some serious trimming on the palms and others plants that took a hit, with Joanna helping. Things are looking up!

The after-storm loss of adrenaline..
Yesterday was a "lay back and glad we got through" kind of day. We could do that because we weren't hit that hard....were very fortunate in fact. About 80% of Titusville is still without power (including our son David & his Ashley and the restaurant he works at, Shilo's). Since he's off today and younger than us he volunteered to come over later and do some yard clean up. There are a lot of palm tree
issues and we might lose one totally....lost a hibiscus also, and our large cactus. These can be replanted and over the long run are not an issue.
More concerning is our motorhome which we store in Christmas Florida off Route 50. We went out to check it yesterday and the entrance road to the storage area was totally submerged and not passable. We'll go out later this morning and see if anything has changed.

Power on at 0700....
Unbelievably nasty night! The power just came on. We took some minor damage to a few soffits, lost my best outside cactus and some major palm fronds but all in all we're looking good. That being said, just as I'm typing this on the kitchen Samsung Chromebook Plus we had a light flicker...still blowing out there but not nearly as bad as the all-nighter howling. Will post more after my coffee.
