Just got home and put The Lieutenant away till next weekend. It was great to spend time with Neyda and Mig. This afternoon we went back in to Los Angeles to see Neyda and Mig’s new condo they purchased. 
We had no problem finding parking or getting around LA even with all the traffic. Fortunately it only took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to get home from Burbank which is a record time.
Next weekend we go to the mountains of Idlewild.Looking forward to seeing Rob & Kent.

Busy day today with Boys To Men. I brought the lieutenant up to spend the night for this today leadership development training. Getting ready for bed. Today I refilled the propane and found out we have a 10 gallon tank. I also bought Diesel this for the first time today.
The retreat center had a great flat cement pad for RV parking.
Just outside of Julian California.

Took Vincent out today for more staging. Got on the roof and inserted the AT&T LTE Sim card in our roof top Winegard system, so now we have high-speed Internet. I did a test zoom call with Hector. Zoom & Apple TV works just like we are at home.
Auto leveling works great for the van and I have purchased some plastic orange leveling blocks. Got to order some snap pads next.
I also stored the new gas grill and it fits perfectly in the back storage area. Getting ready for our first overnight this Saturday.

We spent a couple hours staging our new LTV this past Saturday and Sunday. Who knew you could have so much fun in a parking lot at old Poway Park.
