Somedays it dont pay

It was nothing a case of beer wouldn't cure. :B

A bad day camping still beats a good day at work

Actually been a good winter so far. Been to Arizona for a month and a half, California for a few days, and now on our way back to the Gulf Coast of Texas that we enjoy so much.

Swing through Illinois on your way to Texas and you can help shovel some snow.

Any day that you survive is a good day. Many there are who didn't survive that particular day.

I am from Illinois. That's the reason I am here. Here you shovel sunshine,not snow.

I actually saw that you were a fellow Illinoisan. I thought I’d give you an extra reason to enjoy that sunshine while you recover from the broken egg “shell shock.” :)

Not sure as but I went out for 2 weeks and the awning adjustment handle broke had to Manuel adjust awning one hole at at a time going up and down due to storms rolling in..... water pump kept leaking had to fill twice ... and then thankfully awning bracket (bottom) broke off as I was parking the TT in storage ?? But it's mine and still good at 20 years young. Once the weather warms I'll get things fixed and off to camp some more.

We all have those days. My worst was in 2009. Had to stop in Laramie, WY. for an emergency trailer repair. $400. An hour later lost the trailer to a blowover on Elk Mtn pass. Scat happens.

I've had my dish cabinet come open on 2 occasions and we lost a bowl and plate. Not too bad. Last year, even being =very= careful, the trailer rocked enough to pop the door on the MW and the glass plate fell out and shattered. The one that =really= pissed me off, though, was re-entry at the border on our way back from Rocky Pt., Mexico. US BP searched my trailer, but didn't shut the fridge door fully. Got home to stuff all over the floor and everything else spoiled. Called the station where we crossed and they couldn't have cared less; barely an apology. Yes, I =should= have checked all doors after, but I figured these so-called "professionals" knew what they were doing and would do it correctly.
