It felt wonderful sleeping in until nearly 7:00
this morning and knowing that today was actually Sunday most
businesses would be opening later then through the week. I had barely
gotten things set up for breakfast when Kathy came downstairs. She
said she never woke once and felt much more rested then she has been
feeling. She was also worried that I needed to hurry to extend our
stay here until we know exactly what is wrong with the Truck.
There wasn’t much I could do until the Office
opened at 9:00.

When I explained the problem we were having
with the Truck and that we needed to extend our stay they
recalculated our original bill into a week so that we actually get a
Free Night. I was talking with Ken about our
problem when he started describing the exact same problem that
happened to his Truck and that is Three Years Newer.
Back at the Trailer Kathy had already
gathered the Trash for me to dispose of. When I returned I
finished setting up our sewer connection that wasn’t done when we
first pulled in on Wednesday evening.
Since it wasn’t lunch time yet I also cleaned
out the inside of the Truck getting things we don’t want to
leave behind in case it is in service for a few days. When that was
finished I managed to get more Exercise in with the Dumbbells
that we carry. I only did a single set but added other lifts to
the ones I did the other day. As long as I do that every couple of
days the problem that I have with my Neck will not return.
I had seen a younger couple hooking up their
Fifth Wheel to leave before noon. I was just about to go
inside as they were leaving when I flagged them down. They had left
their Porch/Step Light on. While he went to shut the lights
she said they were Newbies and had just gotten their Trailer
but were far from retirement. As he got back in his Truck I
had to tell him he left his Steps down. I also told him about
doing Circle Checks any time they are leaving a site and hitting the
road. He thanked me!
Kathy called me in for lunch. She had been busy
cleaning out the Fridge and was using up Leftovers to
make lunch. The heat was building inside so I immediately started
opening all the Windows to cool things down. We had Ham and
Cheese Wraps along with Broccoli and Springrolls as
sides and it all tasted wonderful.
Since we don’t know how long the Truck
will be in the shop as soon as we’d cleaned up the Dishes we
headed out the door to get some groceries. We went to the
Neighborhood Walmart
Market
which only sells Groceries. We spent nearly Two
Hours before we left with almost everything on our Shopping
List.
Back Home we
then had the daunting task of putting everything away. We worked
together, I was taking everything out of the shopping bags while
Kathy put the perishables in the Fridge and Freezer.
Then I had to take all the Canned Goods out of the Pantry
so it could all be organized as it was put away.
For supper we had Picnic Food, Chicken,
Potato Salad and Bean Salad. We also had Jell-O for dessert.
We plan on being at the Ford
Dealership Service Department
when it opens at 7:30 in the
morning, so we are having to set the Alarm
Clock. Keeping our fingers crossed
that it’s a Quick-Fix.
My Neck
only has a slight Ache
this evening. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and
Enjoy!
It’s about time.

We hope your truck problem is a quick and easy fix.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has a routine for pulling out, Tom and I have a checklist, that works for them. We have seen to many with antennas up or stairs down not to take the few minutes to do the walk around and go through the checklist. Take care and hope to see you both this adventure.
I hope the truck fix is quick, easy and inexpensive. Good Luck.
