What can happen ~~~~

~~~ will happen.  We moved to Thousand Trails RV Park today, but it wasn't a happy move.  First  the humidity was 100% - fog, then as Don began to unhook the motorhome in rolled a thunder storm.  Twice he had to stop getting his jobs done and come inside.  Thousand Trails reservations ARE engraved in stone, no show-a fine, can't change dates and if you don't arrive before about 11AM you can forget about getting a good site.

But we finally got on the road only to keep getting the message from the MH that there was water in the diesel. The warning would come and go.  This isn't something to be taken lightly as the MH computer will shut down the motor if it wants to.  We decided to stop and get some new diesel and fortunately we were near a service station where we could get in and out without any problem.  The new diesel seemed to help with the problem and we drove the last 10 miles with no warnings.

We got to Thousand Trails and we did get a super good spot, but pulling out of the parking lot we got too close to the curb and as we drove away we got the message a car tire was low.  We stopped as soon as we could and the tire wasn't low, it was flat as a pancake.  The valve stem broke off on the curb.  We detached the car and got it off the road, parked the MH at our site (and plugged it in as we needed air conditioning ASAP).  Don walked the half mile back to the car and put on the spare tire.  Later we took the car to a local Honda place where they repaired the tire and "relearned" the tire warning system for $110.

It was a long, hot day.
