Fine Tuning

We never did resolve the gas issue in the BP over the weekend. For that matter, we never resolved the Direct TV issue either (as in we can't figure out how to actual GET Direct TV with the potable dish). 

And we packed up Sunday in this miserable drizzle....leaving me with the brilliant idea of placing our wet, dirty, $100 outdoor rug in the back of the truck versus the underbelly of BP. Who knew that the combination of truck and BP created a wind tunnel like no other. Shortly after getting on Hwy 55 we watched in horror as the wind literally sucked the rug out of the back of the truck, under the BP and into traffic behind us (of which there was plenty). After ordering Jeff to "Pull Over!!!!!" I ran the 1/2 mile or so back (yes, I Ran) and I rescued my beloved and expensive rug from oncoming traffic. Not even a scratch. On either of us. I slept well Sunday night....

Xena was really good for the duration of her trial run and made herself right at home, claiming the back of the sofa and the middle of the bed as her own. Just like at home-home. She didn't even fuss too much on the ride home but did sequester herself on the floor behind the drivers seat. Whatever makes her happy.


Monday, Jeff made me proud and got right to work on his to-do list. He started on his closets/dresser and pretty much worked from sun-up to sun-down. Very impressive, my husband!

Today we delivered the BP to Hilltop Trailers for a resolution of the gas issue. On the way from the storage to Hilltop we threw the wheel chocks in the back of the truck. Guess what blew out of the back? Yup, both chocks. This time there was no pulling over to rescue them so they were left for dead. New chocks-$17, lesson finally learned about putting things in the back of the truck- PRICELESS!!! So add to our list of things for Hilltop, new chocks. And while we're at it, might want to check the old brakes...gonna be navigating some big hills! Oh, and one other thing. The water pump squeals like a pig in a poke so could you check that out as well.

A week from today we will be in Custer State Park. Hopefully with working heat, working stove, quiet water pump, and nerves intact. One thing we know for sure. We will be officially.....
