That moment the RV park calls you back with a SMILE in their voice and tells you they have plenty of room. YAY!! Orange Grove RV Park, Edison Road, Bakersfield.
That moment when you are all buckled in, ready to go and you remember your cell phone sitting on the counter. At least I remembered!!
That moment when you turn the key on your rig and you see a CHECK ENGINE warning. OH NO!!
That moment when you hear CRACK ... and when you look over, you see a big hole in your windshield. #$%#$!!#$%#$
That moment when you remember you didn't plug Jonathan's heater in, so you have to pull over, but at least you can check the windshield.
That moment when you see the trucker pulling around you in his BIG truck, weaving all over the road, pushing you over the line and you realize he's texting on his phone, not even looking at the road!! BIG AIR HORN BLAST!!
That moment when you finally take a big breath and relax ... only 30 minutes from the house! That's a record I think!!
That moment you see the rest stop is actually OPEN and you can walk the dogs, eat lunch and check on Jonathan ... who was on the floor of his cage. Smart Bird!!
That moment when you see the offramp to the park you have never stayed at before, and find it to be a really GREAT one for $39 a night. Not only that, but you get to pick all the oranges you can fit in a grocery bag!! I quickly ate TWO, thinking some Vitamin C would help!!
It's a 50 amp full hookup, but with temperatures expected to be in the 30 degree range, I only plugged in my electrical.
That moment when you realize it's only 2:30 pm and you can RELAX the rest of the day!! Big sigh!!
That moment when you feed Jonathan and he goes straight for the cracker, munching away. He has survived his first day!!
That moment when it dawns on you, you are now in a very small space with two barky dogs who are going to make you crazy!! Patience is a vir---tue!!!
I'll be off this morning after everything thaws out a little.
Sounds like you have everything under control. Maybe a glass of wine will help.
ReplyDeleteESP Jan ... that's exactly what I did!!
DeleteVyaadka wonder why Ms Nancy forget to say; That moment when computer break and type funny letters "#$%#$!!#$%#$". Vyaadka think when windshield CRACK, Ms Nancy speak in foreign language.
ReplyDeleteSometimes bad words come out of my mouth unexpectedly!! Same goes for my computer!!!
DeleteI knew you would like the place, and I am glad there are plenty of oranges still there. Sorry about the windshield. What was up with engine light???? --Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip Dave ... it's apparently not too much of a secret ... my friends couldn't get in last night because it was totally booked!! The engine light goes out and "usually" doesn't come back on until three or four starts later. Having it checked when I get to Tucson.
