Houston We Have Seperation

Sunday

Sunday did not come fast enough for Sherri or I. We have been biting at the bit for one year to go to this rally and the day of debarkation has arrived and we are not even ready??? What?? you say. I know we should be but we still have things to do. For heaven sakes Sherri does not have that perfect pare of shoes yet and I need shorts.

Off to the store we go...Yes on Sunday of all days when we should be in church or we should be on the road to Branson. Oh no we are headed to Macy's to buy S T U F F. We arrived in the shoe department and I could see the excitement written all over Sherri's face...you know the look fellows you've all seen it a thousand times in Wally World and all the stores in between.

That perfect pare of shoes did not jump up off the shelf however but she did manage to find the
"This Will Do Shoe" and we proceeded to check out. When they turned our Macy's card down I thought I was going to have to call 911...Sherri freaked out...she had paid our bill on line but it had not shown up on the system so it looked like the shoes were going to stay in the store....but OH NO Sherri got on the phone and in a short she was back in business...Seems as though they were having trouble with their pay site...you know the old story any way the "This Will Do Shoe"
are now in the closet and my new shorts are hanging proudly on my side ready for the rally. I guess you could call these rally shorts??

We returned home after picking up Chinese to go at Panda. Then we starting packing down the 5th wheel and getting ready to head north. The excitement was so intense at this time we almost forgot to roll down the antenna! We slowed the pace down some and got everything done in good order and pulled out about 2:30 Sunday morning.

We took Hwy 69 north through Oklahoma. The plan had been to stop at Lake Eufala at the Arrowhead State Park. I had calculated the we would be out of diesel about this mile marker so this would be a good spot to unhook and refuel. Well as it turned out the tail wind we had on the way up there was so great that we got 15 miles to the gallon and I had only burned 1/2 tank of diesel! Not bad for a new truck pulling a 38ft trailer loaded down with Sherri's shoes and my new shorts! So we decided to head on until we got to Salisaw and stop there at a KOA...costly...for the night.

Not a bad place to stay overnight and guess what....right down the street was the CASINO!!! Man we could not ask for anything more!!! Needless to say we did unhitch and head over for a while to get the FIX. Sherri did well she ended up breaking even after 3 hours of play and I lost $1.00 out of the $3.00 I started with...Last of the big time gamblers here.

That just about wraps up the Sunday...except for the McDonald experience in Salisaw. Do not got to the Salisaw McDonald!! Fly city I will not bore you with this just take my word for it
NASTY!

OK nuff said...next stop RALLY Somewhere in Time
