Friday the 13th!

It’s Friday the 13th! Hmmm for some today may be a bad day and for others it’s just another day.

We got up this morning and the wind is blowing. It was decided to wait until tomorrow to head out on the road. Another factor that added to this decision was the fact that the lighting rod that was ordered had not arrived yet. It turned out to be a good thing as the night before the pop off valve on the water heater broke. So that needed fixed as well.

That is one of the good side to your home being in a vehicle. You have the option to either go or wait and everything you own is always with you. Driving in the wind is not fun. Ms. Southwind is hard to drive in the wind. Esp with gusty winds like we had at times yesterday.

Since we didn’t have the car loaded I called the RV place and they had the valve we needed so we went and got that. When i got back i called to see if ups had arrived and they had but no package .. grrrr

Hubby fixed the valve on the heater and while he was working they called and said they had found my package it was delivered yesterday! LOL So i went and got it and so hubby installed the lighting rod. Yes, i have hot water again!

We took advantage of the extra day and took our time doing the rest of things that needed to be done. Good thing because the spot where we had moved Ms. Southwind to and planned to load the car wouldn’t work. After over an hour and trying to figure out why the bumper kept dragging and moving the dolly hubby finally looked where we was parked and said, i know why now. So we unhooked the water, sewer and electric and pulled Ms. Southwind up about 5 feet and within 10 minutes the car was sitting in its resting place for our journey. Since we moved Ms. Southwind up to load the car we then had to take a tour as we couldn’t stay parked in the road. It worked out great as hubby had to replace the break thingy on the tow dolly and hadn’t had a chance to adjust it or he forgot about it …. hmmm i wonder if it wasn’t the latter? This gave him that chance to adjust the breaks. Of course only time on the actually highway will tell us for sure if he has them set right. It’s amazing how things can turn out.

I fixed a nice supper, as i haven’t done too much cooking lately. We were both craving bacon, eggs and hash browns. I did the dishes and then we spent the rest of the evening just watching TV. I took a hot shower and retired early as i was exhausted and my back was killing me.

It actually ended up being a good day, we were able to take our time and not rush to get the rest of the things finished and now in the morning all we will need to do is open the curtains and roll out.

Have a good one and until next time ….. Springfield Missouri here we come!!
