If You Know, You Know!!

If you know, then you know exactly where I am.  I made it, though not in record time, which was okay with me.  On the other hand, that section that ties traffic up for an hour or more?  I just flew right through it.  Traffic was light, and the trucks even lighter.   

The first order of the day, after waking up for the third time, was to remove the battery cables from the Jeep.  I completely forgot that little task.  It's still dark outside and since I NEVER work outside in the dark, I couldn't find the light switch.  At long last ... done.

Then it was on to last minute packing and hookup.  That's always fun.  I took this picture just to see how level the rig was riding with the new shocks and springs on the truck.  It looks pretty good I guess, since I'm not the expert there.

And we were off.  All went pretty well.  The rest stop I always give Cooper a break at was actually open. Imagine that?  I think it's been closed for the last two years.  I have to say I'm very happy with the ride.  It was much nicer than my last trip, and no major bouncing like before!!

I pulled into the RV Park and went to setting up.  I don't do much ... just take the pressure off the hitch.  This time I'm VERY unlevel.  No I'm not unhooking.  That's way too much trouble for a one night stand.    That's when I heard it.  BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.  How irritating!!  For some reason my fridge didn't like being on gas.  Seems to me it was fine when I left.  Everything is still frozen and cold, so I think we're okay.

I turned the gas off, then oh so slowly turned it back on and lit all the stove burners.  Well ... two of them because the third doesn't spark.  It's okay, since there's no way I'm cooking enough to need three burners!!  Today if the fridge beeps again, I'll just leave it off.  

Mr. Cooper decided not to eat anything I fixed.  I know I'm a bad cook, but REALLY!!  I tried everything I could find and he refused it all.  At long last I scrambled an egg and he gobbled it up.  What a spoiled little buddy he is!  

We had a little trouble with the guy next door who doesn't think his dog needs to be on a leash.  He came after Cooper and I the second we walked out the door.  The guy called him back, and everything was okay until the last walk of the night.  I stepped down (in the dark), only to trip over him at the bottom of my steps.  I kicked a little gravel and told him to get away.  He growled, whereupon Cooper came unglued.  No one growls at his Mom.  You know me ... THAT DOG NEEDS TO BE ON A LEASH!  All was well, and no one got bit.

It's dark this morning ... no surprise, as I'm always up early.  It's a lovely 37 degrees and I'm looking forward to an afternoon nap to make up for being awake half the night.  Everyone's heater is running, including mine.  Add to that the generator next door to keep the oranges from freezing.  Earplugs are a must.  

And so I leave you with this huge nugget of vitamin C, about 5" wide.  Oh yeah Dave ... the big oranges are back in stock.
