Oh my Houston .. Ole man winter has found me again! We were up early this morning on this cold winter morning. We got ready to take our truck in to have it fixed. We arrived before 9 AM at George Hauk’s Automotive http://www.hauksautomotive.com/ and after examining the truck it was decided that the left tie rod was bad and needed to be replaced, front end aligned and the front tires rotated. After paying the bill of $310 bucks (which didn’t seem like a bad price) we drove off the lot and headed to do another errand. We needed to get our propane tank filled, because it’s down right cold here in La bill total was $27 bucks.. today’s high was 38 degrees and their predicting a low of 28 degrees!! BRRRR .. Ole man winter has definitely returned! Did I say it’s down right cold outside? Well let me say it again .. it’s down right cold out there!!
by the time we got home it was after 2 pm! We decided it was too late to hitch up and hit the road. I am not one who likes to leave in the middle of the day! It’s a cloudy day and it looks darkness will set in early tonight.
We did go ahead and unhook, pulled the slides in and hooked the truck up. We backed out of our site and hubby and the dogs took a drive through the campground so that we are facing the right way out in the morning. Now were parked in the road. We are hitched up and all we have to do in the morning is unplug the electric, take the satellite dish down (hubby will probably do this before bedtime) and pull up the front jacks. Were ready to roll. Since it’s going to be very cold in the morning we wanted as less as possible to do. We plan to get an early start. We are only going 130 miles tomorrow which is about 2 1/2 drive to our friends Tommy and Diane’s. But we need to arrive early as they have a birthday party to attend and need to get us settled in before they head out. We will be spending New Years with our friends.
We are a bit on the un-level side but all is well , we have electric and most importantly we have heat! The dogs are excited although they were a bit upset that their ride was only around the campground. Were spending a relaxing evening in the warmth of our comfy home. On these bitter cold days make you appreciate all the luxury’s of home. It’s been a great time here in Woodworth, La but we are ready to move on and start the next journey and hopefully we will find some much needed warmth!
