Have you ever had one of those days that just gets away from you?
We have, and it was today!!
After taking, or trying to take, pix of some lovely Red Headed Woodypeckers, we got stuck into some serious paperwork, bills and boring stuff, as it was raining all day, and while the Marlipops was doing all that, I attempted to fix the slide out room.
It has not worked since we were in Sioux Falls, when Cummins was messing around with relays and other ‘lectric stuff. So, off to the store to buy a replacement relay, and the nearest auto parts store was 10 miles away.
So, $ 3.00 later, I’m back, with a new relay. Of course, it didn’t work, coz while taking off the old one, I found some loose wires.
I needed a clip thingy, and of all the spares and bits and gadgets we carry, there is not a clip thingy.
So, back to the clip thingy store and another $ 3.00 later I’m back, again.
Change the clip thingy, change some wiring, pull and tug to check everything is secure and tight and all that good stuff. (My old physics teacher and headmaster, Jack Finney, during his gin sodden classes, would always insist that all connections must be tight. He was always tight, so I do remember something from school.)
Anyway, I digress.
So, with everything ready I yelled to the ‘Pops, “ Go”
Nothing happened. I rechecked everything, fuses, breakers, battery connections. Absolutely nothing.
So we have a slide out room that doesn’t.
Still, it’s better than having the room stuck in the out position.
We can live in slightly cramped conditions, just makes us be closer to each other!!
Did you get the seeds, Helen P?
Marlipops made the most gorgeous kebabs, from chicken and bacon wrapped shrimps and veggies, and I cooked ‘em on the Barbie, during a rainstorm. It was worth it, coz they were brill, served with wild rice. (If you had been thrown into boiling water, you’d be wild too!!)
We had an E mail from some woman in Montana, with a name I got from the local paper up there months ago, asking me to take her name off the blog.
I think if a name appears in a newspaper, then I should be allowed to use it as well.
Wildlife watch today was the gooses again, some Canada gooses, they were twice the price, some red headed woodypeckers and some as yet unidentified blue birds.
