Oh My .. what a difference the temperature is from when i went to bed at 64 degrees to 37 degrees when i got up. The cold the north is dealing with has arrived here in Gulfport, MS!!!
We got dressed and got things around. We had things to get done today. We met our friend Steve for lunch and finished up the things we have been dealing with for him. We said our goodbyes with hugs, kisses and lots of love.
Then it was time to head back home and get the last few minute things finished. We had to unhook the water as it’s suppose to be around freezing tonight. Predicting a low of 32 degrees with a freezing rain/sleet.
Hubby got the generator out and started .. there is a slight problem with it. It wouldn’t start with the auto thing .. you know the knob you turn and it starts? Hubby thinks it might be the electric starter? No, I'm not mechanically inclined. So it was the other way .. Yep you guessed it .. pulling this string thingy like you do a lawn mower. Finally after several attempts he got it going. So Mr. Genset is going to need some service soon, but today isn’t the day. Hopefully we won’t need him but if we do, he does start with a good ole hand crank .. Sure am glad hubby still has a few muscles cause i couldn’t begin to pull that thingy. The birds were not happy that we took the feeder down but i did dump them some food on the ground and hopefully someone else will pull in and feed them.
I have all the dishes put away, the refrigerator shelves locks in place. (Yes .. their a pain but helps in things moving around during travel), and the cabinets all tied down. Oh yeah did i tell you about that mishap? In the bedroom on the way here a closet door came open … YES, I know .. i over stuffed it! Anyways luckily for us it didn’t do any damage but the slide out stopped and wouldn’t go out with the door being caught. So now a new ritual is to tie all the doors shut near the slide outs.
I know what your all thinking … and the answer is … NO, I don’t think me and these slide outs will ever get along when it comes to open and closing. I’m blonde .. that should explain it all … right?
We have been keeping a good watch on the weather as it will determine if tomorrow will be a traveling day or not. That is what is so great about our home being on wheels. We have the option to move when we need to. We have stayed 1 day past our 30 day limit with permission and if the weather is bad tomorrow, I will call and get permission for another day and if we don’t receive it, there is another RV park just a few miles down the road. Check out time is not until 2 pm so by then temps should be above freezing for the rain. Rain is okay, but not at freezing. Although i have to admit i do not like traveling in the rain. I prefer a clear sky.
The dogs are excited as they know that something is up and normally it means they get to ride in the truck and go bye bye and new places to sniff and potty!
I have the GPS set, printed out directions from our Rand McNally truckers guide on my computer, truck stop books, and campground guide is ready to be put into the truck.
All i have left to do in the morning is to secure the bar stools to the couch, move the freezer to it’s riding position and clean up hubby’s coffee dishes.
I guess you will have to stay tuned to see if tomorrow is a travel day or not .. have a good one.
