  2. A Day Late and Much More than a Dollar Short!

    Yesterday we drove over 500 miles.  Stopped in St. Augustine and spent the night at the Flying J.  Left there this morning around 5:30 and arrived at the Fort a couple of hours later.  Boy, is it crowded here!

    Went over to the MK to activate our annual passes.  Walked down Main Street.  It was insane.

    We are on site 704 until December 11.  Look forward to seeing you!  Please stop by if you're in the neighborhood!

    Sorry to hear about the troubles....

    We had some troubles on our trip too, but on the way home. We hit a semi trailer tire tread on the road, and broke some stuff on the truck and the camper. Nothing super major, but really annoying. It is now time to put the camper away for a few months, so it can wait, and the truck stuff is cosmetic, but still really annoying.

    Carol, sorry to hear about the accident!  Thankful that you and Rick weren't hurt.  It could have been so much worse.

    We had planned to leave today for our month-long stay at the Fort.

    A few weeks ago we got our moho, Dolly, out of the shop.  Routine maintenance, 10 new hydraulic lifts on the bay doors, problems with the steps going in and out, a few other miscellaneous little repairs.  It turned out our batteries were shot, and we had to replace all six AGM batteries.  Ouch.

    Yesterday David was loading the golf cart, and it stopped working halfway up the ramp.  Called our local repair shop, and they told us they couldn't look at it until next week.  We drove across town late yesterday and begged.  Thankfully they picked it up this morning, repaired it, and returned it late this afternoon.  Six new batteries -- totally unexpected -- a wiring connection fixed, and several hundred more flew out of our wallets.

    And this afternoon David discovered while loading it that my scooter wasn't working.  The back wheels were locked up.  A few months ago we had it repaired because it was making a weird knocking sound.  Turned out that a part in the wheel was installed backwards at the factory!  I used it a few weeks ago, and the knocking was gone.  But it was still making a quiet, funny sound.  

    When David told me my scooter was broken, I just lost it.

    David started looking at my scooter a little while ago and discovered that the repairman had put on one of the back wheels backwards!  So now it's fixed!

    A little while ago I brushed my teeth, and my electric toothbrush quit working.  I'm afraid to touch anything else.

    Anyway, we're planning to leave home early in the morning, a day late.  That means we need to drive 500 miles tomorrow.  Because of my DVT problem I need to stop and walk around every hour or two, so it's gonna be a long day!  Praying we have safe travel and nothing else breaks down.  For those of you who will be at the Fort over Thanksgiving, we hope to see you there!
