Friday Thank Goodness? Why?

To a full timer it really don’t matter most of the time.  It does if we are in need of repair or traveling. Repair shop on a Friday could mean a quick job.  Traveling on Friday is traveling with heavy traffic.  Also, it means that the weekenders will be rolling in all hours of the night in a lot campgrounds.  Been there – done that. Some parks have late arrival rules but most don’t.  Then there’s the guy that comes in about 11 PM or so and let’s his diesel run for 15+ minutes.  I usually go out and ask them if they have a problem.  If not I ask them to please shut it down.  It’s really only happened a few times over many years.  Most realize that it’s late.

We drove 65 miles each way to see the lawyer.  15 minutes in his office, less than 1 minute with him, about 10 minutes with his secretary and that was mostly waiting for a signed copy. Then I was given a DMV form to fill out and take to DMV to put Mom Hill’s car in a trust. So be it.

Here’s a little (very) town on the way back to Livingston. We dropped off some outgoing mail.DSC_0001

 

Back at the lot I decided to see why our golf cart wiggled going down the road.  Frank Hinman came over to help. We borrowed a jack from Wayne and went to town removing the troubled wheel.  The inside of the tire had ballooned and was rubbing thus the wiggled.  Now to find a tire and get it changed. Another thing for tomorrow.DSC_0003

 

Then me and Frank worked on the Movie Screen.  Two great minds figured it out with some innovative thinking and that’s all that counts since no one else was around to say otherwise.  It’s still going thru some growing pains. Another thing for tomorrow. DSC_0004

 

Denny Orr called me.  Susie and him will be here in Livingston for Boot Camp (very early Nov) after the Texas Tri-Chapter Rally (late Oct).  We would have really liked to have gone to that rally but we will be in California. That rally is going to be a blast!

Talking again with the dealer who has that Safari Cheetah.  It has an 07 Cat engine, 08 chassis and 09 box on it.  You can’t say Monaco put this one out real fast on the assembly line.  Things were slowing down a lot for Monaco about that time. I think there is still one worker in a bay who fell asleep putting it together. The price is right but the trade in is killing us.  If you want our 08 Phaeton call/email real quick – it’s cheap for an 08….

Here’s my cactus garden. I like all the little guys hanging around.  Carol doesn’t.DSC_0005

Here’s Carol’s garden.DSC_0006

Mine is very low maintenance because Carol does the maintaining.

See ya……………
