Picking up the Trailer

I did not sleep soundly last night. Staying in a motel room is not my thing but it is a necessity this week due to the trailer being in the shop and Sherri working here in West Texas. It was about 6:30 when I heard Sherri get up and head to the shower. I was still tired but I knew I had to load the truck up and get ready for that 11:00 check out.

We got dressed and gathered up all the stuff that I would not need between then and the 11:00 check out time. I would have to stay in the room until Sherri returned from work and if it was after 11:00 then I would have to check out and wait in the lobby. I left some food and drink and the computer in the room and then I went down to eat some breakfast.

Sherri left at 7:00 and I came on back to the room. I watched some TV and played on the computer. I had a chance to look up some things and read some emails. I would like to take this time to thank all of you that comment on my journal each day. I enjoy writing my journal and it does me good to see that people do read it.

Sherri got back about 11:15 and we checked out of the motel. I called Explore USA to see how they were coming with our trailer and was told that they were replacing a drive motor on the bedroom entertainment slide and that it would take them about 4 hours to get it finished. Sherri and I decided to go eat lunch and then make a run through the mall. We might even catch a show at the cinema located in the mall. We drove from Decatur to Lewisville and went to Cristina’s Mexican Restaurant and had lunch. Then from there to the mall to look for me some more shorts.

After failing to find any shorts on sale we decided to walk down to the theater to see what was playing and found it to be closed up. I guess they are out of business or there are no shows left? Oh well by this time it was getting close to the trailer getting ready so we just left from there and went to the dealership to check on their progress. They had everything done but they had forgot to change out my dump switches in the service bay. We had to wait on that to get done and while waiting we just walked around and looked in some trailers.

View out our Arizona room side. That is the lake in the background.

View out the back window…nothing but forest…and lots of privacy

Side back view of the road we came in on. We have lots of shade here and good Verizon Air Card. Lucky to get a spot at all this late in the week.

They finished up about 4:30 and we were hooked up and on our way. We had stopped at Hickory Creek COE on the way to the mall and secured us a site. We were glad that we did that because by the time that  we got out of the service bay and arrived at the park they were just about full. We would have had to take the dregs if we had not pre-registered. Our site is #20 and it is OK…but it is only 30 amp! Oh me only one AC at a time here and we have to be careful not to overload. We are just inside the green so we will eek through this weekend and then we have to move on.

That is about it for today….
