Saturday trip and Sunday job

We went out for breakfast as is our usual for Sunday morning.  It was so hard to get up in the dark after setting our clocks ahead for daylight savings time.  When we got home we decided to tackle putting in the new air pump in our Sleep Number mattress in our motorhome.  (We could hardly read the numbers on the old controls anymore, they were leashed to the pump which facilitated getting a new style pump with a remote.)  This job didn't sound too hard BUT ----

First we had to take apart the mattress and drag the parts into the living room.  Then take apart the platform on the bed as the pump was buried below.  Many screws had to be removed, the wood moved around and finally, there was the pump.  Getting the new pump installed was the easy part.  Then we had to do the whole process in reverse to get things back together.  I am surprised it didn't take more than 2 1/2 hours, a bit of lost patience and a few bruises for both of us.  Hopefully we won't have to do that again.

Yesterday we went for another ride in the "real" Florida (not the tourist Florida).  This is a picture from that trip.  This is a tree tunnel of live-oak trees.
