We are staying at Rockwell RV Park in Oklahoma City till Sunday. We have great cable TV, an indoor pool and hot tub, and instant telephone. The bad news is we don't have free long distance calling. If anyone wants to call, our number is 405-603-3141. I tried it and it works.

PANASONIC DMC-FZ1 FOR $249
The camera is available at Vann's Camera for $249 including shipping. If you call Onecall.com at 1.866.572.3235 Toll Free they price matched for Vivian, saving her $20 from the OneCall regular price of $270 with shipping. OneCall gives great service. So far over 15 people have ordered one. I have been getting great bird shots with it. More are below.

MOTORHOME TROUBLES AGAIN - FUEL GAUGE
I didn't even get two blocks from FunNSun when I checked my gauges and the gas gauge was on empty. I had filled the tank in fall and only driven 130 miles since, so I knew I should have over three quarters of a tank. I stopped and filled up - 21 gallons - tank still showed empty. Another item to check at the Winnebago plant.

AUTOMATIC STEPS NOT
When Pam got out of the motorhome she said the step was loose. The mechanism had broke and the step just hung there, and wouldn't go in or out. I got the part at Camping World and fixed it here in Oklahoma City. It is a good feeling when do-it-yourself repairs save having to pay labor costs.

MORE BIRD PICTURES
I had a great time taking pictures of the birds at Port Aransas. When Roy said he saw a flamingo, I got pretty excited, but the picture looked a little different.
