We
were lucky to have gotten as much as we could do in preparation for
our departure this morning. We both had a bad case of Pretravel
Sleeplessness which was quite unusual that it had been Raining
the entire night. Kathy had it worse then I did but we were both out
of bed by 6:30 this morning. After a quick breakfast there was more
packing to do and we realized that we still had a lot to do.
When
I went outside to finish bringing up the Stabilizers even with
my Raincoat and Boots on I still needed to put on Dry
Clothes before we drove away. Kathy followed me in the Car as
we rolled out the Wildwood RV Park gate
in Essex at 10:13 heading towards
Leisure Trailer in Lakeshore.
We surprised Stephanie when we walked in before 11:00.
While
Kathy and Stephanie wrote up the Workorder I made a call to
Jim at Windsor Gas and Diesel.
When we first purchased our Truck in 2009 the Regen
kicked in before we had driven Fifty Miles and continued to do
that for years. Talk about a waste of Fuel. This past summer
the Regen was not turning on and had us worried so Jim
initiated it using his Computer. Since he did that the Regen
hasn’t started once and we don’t want to break down by the side
of the road because it’s not working. He said he was swamped today
but to bring it in.
After
unhooking we left the Trailer at Leisure Trailer and
went to Windsor Gas and Diesel to
drop the Truck off before heading to the West
Side Wendy’s location where we had our usual lunch off
their Value Menu. Inexpensive and Tasty.
On
Tuesday Kathy saw my Family Doctor because of the Severe
Swelling in her left Hand. Each time she talked about it
to her own doctor all she would say was to take Tylenol. Today
we returned to see George and he was amazed at how her Hand has
Improved. When he reviewed the results of the Blood Tests
Kathy was happy to hear that all her counts were within
acceptable levels. It was at that point that Kathy asked George to be
her Doctor. We’ll set that up when we get back in the
spring.
Back
at Windsor Gas and Diesel Jim was
just starting to check the Truck out when we arrived. Even
though we’ve driven a Couple Hundred Miles the
Onboard Computer showed that it would be a while before it
would start the Regen process again. Our Truck does not
use Urethra but I always use Diesel Kleen and we
haven’t done much Highway Towing since this spring. Jim
figures with more Towing it should start fairly soon.
When
we got back to Leisure Trailer
the Trailer was ready and it cost less then Thirty Dollars.
Hooking up in the Rain again we were soon heading for the East
End Camp Walmart in Windsor.
After getting permission to stay overnight we went to Wendy’s
where we had their Full Sized Salads for supper. We also took
advantage of their Free WiFi.
We
have a few more days before we make some serious miles south to
warmer temperatures. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and
Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Hope all is well with the truck. That regen system is certainly a mystery although I do notice the more towing I add a lot of DEF.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with your health and you can enjoy a great winter south!
That was a lot to get accomplished in a day! You guys do good! Glad Kathy will have George as her doctor when you get back. Just a couple of more days and you're on the road!!
ReplyDeleteHope the truck gets well soon. Nothing worse than a sick truck!!
ReplyDeleteTravel safe!! Yesterday was a rough day to get hitched up and on the road! I'm really tired of rain, and Tom is ready to head south -- two more weeks, then we'll be back moving!
