RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more.... Tuesday, August 26, 2003: The dogs woke me at 3:00 this morning--I swear they just wake up and want to go out and scope out the neighborhood, cause they don't do anything else! So I was up, and semi-awake and decided I might as well log on and do some surfing. I think I can probably go back to bed after Keith leaves for work! IF he leaves for work. He and the boss are doing one of those 'day by day' things.... We came back from our trip to the chiropractor last nite to discover that our half of the campground was without electricity! UGH. At least the temp had cooled enough that, once we kicked on the Fantastic Fan we could sit around in relative comfort! We had lights, exhaust fan, floor fan, and the 12 volt tv! Luxury! The fridge had kicked over to gas, so we didn't have to worry about that. There was still some life in my laptop battery and the cell phone was charged up! Living in an RV has some advantages.... :) We had a 'meeting' and began discussing the possibility of leaving our nice, big RV out here for the winter--if he ever gets on that highway construction job. At first I thought that sounded like a really crummy plan, but, by shipping clothes and files and a few other things home in boxes, I'm starting to think it would be 'do-able'. It's not like we don't have a place to stay once we get back to Illinois! And we have the truck camper to live out of on the road.... It'd free us up for winter job hunting, too. We've got so much "stuff" at both ends of our Gypsy Circuit that we don't really NEED to drag this 'Lead Sled' behind us all the time! And have you noticed the price of fuel???? At least this time the diesel fuel is cheaper than gasoline--that's a switch--but it's still darned expensive! Anyhow, we had been talking about going to Arizona for a while in January. It's like the Mecca of Snowbirds! And we have friends that are out there every winter and want us to come see the circus that is Quarzite! So many possibilities.....I guess I'd better get out the PDA and start making lists of what to pack, what to ship and what to load into the truck camper--just in case we decide to leave the big rig out here! Meanwhile, it's time to surf on..... Dinah // Tuesday, August 26, 2003 ______________________ Comments: Post a Comment
