Hmm.. Yellowstone and Glacier. We're going to Yellowstone but not until late July. Flathead lake is incredible too (on the way to Glacier). As for TV, maybe bring some nice DVDs to watch or connect an iPod with some movies you've downloaded? An alternative also could be to park your rig @ the park and spend a night in the Great Wolf Lodge nearby and its incredible water park. St. Helens and several other interesting places are also nearby.

We've penciled it in on our calendar.

The park has a dump station at the east end of the park with a large turning path.
Nothin wrong with the 10th.

Larry:

If things go well enough, we'll be there, but I might not be able to commit until maybe a month before.

I had an interesting week last week. I'd been having occasional chest pain when walking our Labrador. Monday morning, I had to sit down about 15 minutes from home (outbound) to get my breath.

Made a doctor's appointment for Tuesday morning at 08:30. After an EKG and a lot of stethoscope listening, the doc went off to "consult". I got a big surprise when she came back and said "Go pack a bag for two nights in hospital. Drive up to Bellingham and go to St. Joseph's hospital, Check in at the ER."

We got to the hospital about noon. I was in the OR by 15:00 and had four stents installed. Two arteries were 90% blocked and the other two were 50%. I was released Thursday morning. Isn't modern medicine amazing?

Doing fine now, gradually building back to my normal activity levels. I'll be joining a cardiac rehab program at our local hospital.

DW has maintained for a couple of years that I have sleep apnea, but I've never persued it. While I was on a respiratory monitor at the hospital, it kept flagging "apnea" on the display, about every 5 minutes. That's the next issue to be resolved.

I'll keep you posted.

I had two customers today I told about it and they said they would be contacting Larry and joining us!

We might be needing another RV park here soon!!!

Glad you took the advice!!
My boss went to the DR. on Friday, was told much the same thing. He told DR. he'd go right after the the convention next week. He died Monday about 11:00am. He was fine when his wife and her sister went out in the yard. When they came in about 15 min later he was gone.

I have sleep apnea, now on my third CPAP over the last 25 years. Get it checked out. I had the surgery first, it didn't work so I had to go to the CPAP anyway.

Larry & Rita · 12-23-2011, 10:17 PM

Holy Cow guys!!!! Were falling apart.
Frank, if they had had stents while I was having heart problems, they could have saved me about 16 weeks of my hospital stays. (5 heart attacks, 2 triple by-passses, and finally a stent.) latley I have had Colon-rectal cancer, two hernias, I'm lucky to be alive but I'm cancer free now and feeling great.

Do we really need a mobile satellite system if we already have a dish on our rooftop? What would a mobile sat. system cost including installation, and is there a monthly fee for using it (like with Dish or Direct TV)? Thanks.

I'll be honest, I don't know much about the sat systems but I do believe you can use your manual system but you would need to pay a monthly subscription to dish our direct and with the manual you have to dial in your signal each time you want to use it. I can find out more info and let you know.
