October 2019
It has been a long time but the RV fall runs are always the best. The RV rally was in Lone Oak, Texas and we hosted with another couple...so much fun. As always there are those moments that bring joy and other emotions.
Living in a Rectangle:
*Packing is always over packing, why do I take so many clothes when this will only be a weekend? Because it seems so easy to throw in something else (no suitcase weight).
*It was strange to only put in one bottle of wine but then we were going to a winery the next day and I am sure they will have enough for me to add a few bottles. (yes I did)
*The weather was like so totally cooperative with rain one night and that dropped the temps to perfect fall cool. When you can wear a sweatshirt in the AM and peel it off during the day it does not get any better.
*We planned for a church group to bring a hay ride trailer for a fun ride through the park. Donations to go to the youth group. The perfect ride trailer with benches on the side shows up, perfect. We pile on and the ride is going so well, so much fun....but then a back wheel makes a not good noise and the trailer starts to swerve. Stopping we discover the wheel has two lugs and one of them is loose and he wheel is about to fall off. A good angel comes by and in his truck he had all the tools to make the plan to take a few lugs off the other wheels to get it stable....nope the lug screws were stripped so the lug would not hold...bottom line walking back to the club house gave us all some exercise. BUT we gave a generous amount to the church and hopefully when they come to get the trailer they can gte it back to the church. Such fun.
*After a great weekend we r traveling home and it happened...coming around the bend on 635 near DFW airport the car started the "death wobble". Yes it is shocking to feel the car you are towing being "tossed around". Now we have all the right equipment and have towed for two years this Jeep Cherokee with no issues. Slowed down thew on hazard lights and finally found a place to pull over. Took the Jeep off and I followed the RV in it. It drove just fine. The Jeep Wranglers had this issue but not the Cherokee, needless to say it is going into the dealer service bay tomorrow.
*I love margaritas but when you are taking a full bucket out of the freezer of the RV and the lid popes over and it pours onto the top of your head and completely over you? Well it is a sticky mess a very sticky mess. Got myself out of the clothes and showered then had to clean the RV floor and etc. It was like a sit com moment. You can't make this stuff up....
