I've never understood how someone could flip a vehicle UPSIDE DOWN. Good Grief!! There was a crossover SUV on my road not too long ago UPSIDE DOWN in the ditch with some young girl standing there crying to the police. Speed limit is 35 MPH. It's a VERY curvy road so it's not like you can go fast. SMH.

Years ago one of my coworkers was returning to work after lunch. That is important because we were all at the lunch tables outside and we watched him come in at no more than 5mph and get hit on the side by another vehicle not going any faster. His toyota PU(you know the old little ones) was over on it's top in an instant. Who would of thunk.

I travel for a living. I put 40k plus per year on a vehicle. I see upside down cars all the time on the Interstates and side roads around the Southeast. It always amazes me. I've been driving for over 40 years and I've never even come close to putting a vehicle on it's roof. Or it's side. I mean what are these idiots doing rather than driving???? There's a tractor trailer on it's side weekly in Atlanta blocking traffic for hours on end. It's incredible how often it happens.

We'll she's all mine. Ain't that a pretty set up? Now to get the heck out of all this snow.

The people at the dealership were great. They even helped us unpack the truck into our new home and put the topper in the garage then installed a hitch for me. RVWholsalers in Lakeview Ohio. Awesome bunch of people.

I was hoping to hangout for a couple of weeks to get it all set up but I'm now thinking of going south first, it's supposed to be in the -° this week here soon. It's parked outside the super 8 for the night.

I understand the tractor trailers. What yah gona do when an idiot tries to clip your front bumper?

We stopped at our first Walmart today with the rig. A little practice driving in little town ohio and getting a few things for our first real trip tomorrow. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few million things as usual.

What?!

I'm almost perfect. Walmart I was just parked while I was shopping.

Our first homesite!

I will admit that I forgot I had to turn the propane on for the furnace and somehow didn't remember how to fill the fresh water tank. ? I'm such a newbie. I went shopping for blankets and food, now I'm trying to figure out how to lite the oven. I have my owners manual and researching. I have my new brews and cold pizza from last night to keep me entertained. The kid is loving her new room even with the truck canopy under her bed.
I got an electric blanket for the old man Walter.

The highs and lows of our first two days. We got to watch everyone look out of their rvs when a very loud siren went off. Being from nw Oregon I've only heard these sirens in movies, like Twister.

An awesome find that. My favorite cheese makers from home, they were only an hour and half drive to the cheese factory. This is the best cheese I've had at a reasonable price. The Walmart here had it in stock.

I got persistent with my new oven and made burgers. Usually I'd have onions, tomato and lettuce on it but after a long day of running up to Michigan for a couple of things I didn't have the energy to shop any more. Tomorrow I'm shopping for some veggies and an HDMI cord for the Roku.

It's 4am, day 3. Might as well walk the dog and get the day started.

Oh I discovered that with B12 my truck can get 19mpg. Towing the rig down here I evened out at 11.4 but that's flat freeway driving. Not bad though. I was hoping for 13 empty and 9 loaded.

Funny how the Bio Fuels don't seem to be as bad as a lot of people seem to think. I have run as much as B-99 in my 1996 Cummins with no issues what so ever. Bio also is a good replacement lube for fuel.
