New Toys

This morning the new TV and stereo arrived, so I was kept busy trying to sort out the mess of wires left by the repair guy 🙁 . Got some of the work done, then it was time to head out to the wildlife park at Homosassa Springs, about 15 miles from here.

The area is actually a State park, and it is dedicated (with possibly one exception) to species indigenous to Florida. The exception being a hippopotamus that was on site prior to the State starting up the park. The area was previously owned by a company that provided wildlife for movies. So as the hippo was there before the State park AND the hippo had been made a Florida citizen by the Governor, it was deemed to be indigenous (only in the USA!!).

The primary purpose of the park is as a refuge for manatee, unfortunately there has been so little rain here in recent months, the water level was too low for the manatee to swim, however we did see a few of them in the pool area where rescued ones are cared for.

Just to stop Anne whinging, there are some pictures at the end.

Once back to the trailer I managed to get the stereo up and running, we now have full stereo surround sound in the living room, even discovered we have a sub-woofer somewhere (I thinks it’s under the stairs),stereo in the bedroom and stereo outside. The only small issue we have is that the radio station that we had been listening to is a lot weaker on this radio.

The TV checked OK as well, so all is good!

Ask Lyn about the “Techno Roll” next time you contact her.
