A "DO NOTHING" DAY

Even though our Winegard Satellite antenna is shooting through part of a nearby tree, the reception on the standard definition satellite is good enough to watch TV.  That is.............if the wind isn't blowing the tree branches too much.

While the girls were (pick one) - quilt/yarn/fabric shopping, or beach combing, I first watched the Brickyard 400 NASCAR race from Indy, then some other motor sports on the tube.  While Gracie was curled up in my lap, I might have joined her, in resting my eyelids for a few brief moments.  Later in the day, I set the DVR to record the NHRA drag race from Sonoma, and we then drove into town, where we had reservations at the Waterfront Depot Restaurant.

This locals favorite had been highly recommended by a gal at the Elks RV park, and she said "you have to get a reservation, or you probably can't get in."  Nancy called on Friday, right at 3pm, when they start taking reservations each day, and the earliest we could get in was yesterday (Sunday).  Even with a reservation, we still had to wait about a half hour for a table, but oh boy, was it worth the wait.
I'm not a big seafood kind of guy, but the crab encrusted halibut that we all had, was incredibly good!
With crab cakes and crab stuffed mushrooms as appetizers, the clam chowder and main course was more than enough to leave us all very full, and very pleased with the food.

The end of my "do nothing" day included watching the recorded drag race, where my fantasy picks out scored Mike & Marcs picks for this second drag race on the western swing.  The old man is steadily pulling away with the lead, and even though I'm not predicting anything yet, perhaps there's a new champ on the horizon.

Almost forgot..............today, we're moving to Whalers Rest, a Thousand Trails park just up the coast near Newport.  We've stayed at this park in the past, and we know that our Sprint phone & Sprint Internet device will not work there.  The lodge should have WiFi, but there might be a few upcoming days without a blog post.
