Today, in a picture . . .

Well, this doesn't look good! It's 16* outside and this just started so no telling if I'll be able to get off the mountain tomorrow or not. Rats, got too much stuff to do, this I don't

I thought you were retired Jim. It is permissible, actually recommended to chill. Oops, bad choice of words, but you get the picture.

Got everything ready to go, set the house alarm and headed to the rig. Loaded Ryker and a BUNCH of last minute items. Backed the rig out, drove the truck in line to be connected and . . . no pins for the towbar! I had left them in the Jeep and I sold the Jeep a month ago.

Now what? It's Saturday, nobody in this 2-horse town even knows what a towbar is, let alone carry parts. Called the guy who bought the Jeep and he was in New Orleans. But he said the Jeep was in Highlands in his front yard (30 miles away) and go help myself.

By the time I got the pins and had the truck connected, it was too late to leave. So we'll hit the road at 6:00am tomorrow and head out for Pensacola. What a disappointing start this has been.

I think that is a sign that you shouldn’t have been on the road today.

Safe travels tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that Jim. When the Jeep left, I noticed the pegs in the baseplate and thought it strange that they were leaving too, but didn't speak up. The anticipation of the trip is sometimes the best part, so enjoy another night at your beautiful surroundings!

So, this is your fault them?

You can blame me.... BTW, taking a page from Jim's book, I removed the dinette seating switching to two chairs. Opens up a lot of room for the recliners. Instead of trashing them, I decided to repurpose them in the house.
