RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more.... Wednesday, January 21, 2004: So, I'm going to be forced to open a blog all about the dumb station wagon! I walked up and got it this morning, went to the gas station and filled it up (discovered the gas tank works when it wants to) and drove to the bank, made a deposit, drove on up the street, slowed to make a right turn, and IT DIED. And refused to start. Boy have I gotten my money's worth out of that little jewel! LOL! Called the 'one man dealership' and Ron closed up shop and came after me, pushed it off the shoulder and brought me home. His next move will be to go after it, when it's in the mood to start again, and replace another electric ingnition box thingy! Poor man. He didn't make enough money on that car to cover all the parts and aggravation! Me? I'm cool. My first time out on the streets on my own since we got here.... LOL! Next time out, I'll see if I can find a laundromat for it to die in front of.... At this rate, that tank of gas should last a while.... LOL! Yeah, so, this blog is supposed to be about living in an RV, but, well, aside from the fact that nearly all our clothes are piled up in the shower, awaiting laundering, there's not much to talk about. We bought the window awning for the bedroom, but Keith hasn't had time to install it.... Speaking of awnings--we haven't had to roll our patio awning up since we got here! This is a far cry from life in SD, where you roll it out in the morning and watch it all day--unless you're going to town, in which case you roll it up for fear that the wind will get gusty while you're gone.... Lots of torn up awnings in the West! Meanwhile, life with a phone line is WONDERMOUS! I can go online any time I want to!!! Life is good!
