Let's chalk it up to stupidity

Well it's the first weekend in the new TT. It's been an interesting day. Turns out this Tt is a lot higher than my last one. The deck is too( we are parked seasonally). So the plans were to take the 11 yr old & 3 yr old to the CG for the weekend. I was smart enough to plan for new stairs, measure, Pre cut & bring the lumber and tools. It's challenging to do anything with a toddler. Fast forward stairs are finished, supper finished. So I decided to watch a movie with the 3yr old. Of course I forgot them all so a quick trip to the store is easy. Getting in the car it started to rain. In my hastiness I forgot to close the windows on the side. Well downpour starts and it's almost unbelievable. Arrive back at the CG and I decide to give the little one a bath. She was in the tub & I look over to see water coming in the window and the carpet at the end of the sofa is soaked. Well after a couple towels to soak up everything I feel pretty stupid. So lesson learned, take a breath close the windows and there won't be a mess to clean up later. Chalk it up to stupidity! If there are any spelling errors blame it on the iPhone. Cheers!
  • Just put the toddler by the window and let Mother Nature give her the bath...saves water and you won't have to empty the grey tank.....:B:B.....Dennis
  • Well if it makes you feel better, last weekend..#1 We WEREN'T CAMPING, #2 my chainsaw stopped working, my rototiller engine blew up, and my neighbor farmer who was cultivating/planting his field hooked and tore out 280' of chain link fence off my back yard so now my dogs are tethered to the deck until we get it replaced (at his expense..just over $2k). At this point I would have LOVED to have traded a rain soaked carpet from an open window while using my RV :) Sounds like you took it in stride, Keep on Camping!
  • Gosh! I thought mine was bad. My wife left, the dog died and my cows are out North of here somewhere and the barn burned to the ground burning my 1959 show quality John Deere I was saving for my Grandson, and now my wife says she's coming back. Can't go fishing either way anyway! OH! I taught her to fish and now if I want to go out with my girlfriend and say I'm going fishing, she say's "I'll get my pole."
  • Thanks for all the humour. Made for a good laugh. Towels and a hair dryer to dry the carpet. Luckily it's a hide-a-bed sofa so I was able to move it out. Lol. I usually have a couple moments of stupidity throughout the season this year just started a little early. :)
