The MH handled well and I was impressed with the V10.
It is Sunday morning and I am asleep...no I am awake but I think my mind is asleep...no I am typing this post so my mind is awake and my body wants to be asleep.
I don't know for sure but I do know that the trip back to Home Base was windy and I was tired of fighting the wind. We got 8 to 9 mpg on the way back and if we had not been fighting a 35 to 40 mph wind it could have been better. I was really impressed with the V10 engine! I had it in cruise most all the trip and very seldom did it down shift when climbing hills. We did lose some speed but for the most part it kept us up with the big boys. The only thing I will have to get use to is finding stations that I can get gasoline in. With the diesel we just pulled in with the big boys and got topped off and then went on our way...but with this rig you have to go to the four wheeler pumps and sometimes that can be a chore. Overall everything is working out real well and we both love the MH.
We had planned on stopping at Rainbow Plantation and visiting with our friends Darrell and Judy Patterson but we got a call from our boss requesting us to be in Arkansas Monday afternoon. Well that shorten the time we had planned on having on the road so we had to dead head it back to Texas so we could load up and head the other direction. Not only that but we had a birthday party and Carolina Carports called and said they would be installing our carport Monday morning. What else could we plan into our weekend!
We had to dead head it back to Texas to take care of a list of things!
We invited the little ones over last night to try out their new bunk beds. They had a fit over them and tried out everything in the house. Kris got the top bunk which we were a little worried about him falling out of but we fixed it where he could not roll out and all was well. They have their own DVD players above the bunks and the lower bunk has a game plug in for the Wii games.
They loved the bunks and the DVD's well what do you think...
Today is Kris's birthday and Sherri fixed some donuts like a cake and put his #5 Candle on top. We all sang Happy Birthday to him and ate donuts. We will have him a present party next weekend when we have more time. Also will be celebrating Jessica's BD...she will be 17 years old! Am I getting old or what?
It was a busy time with the kids here and we did not get to do anything to the MH except try to keep them from tearing up everything...I will have to say they are real good when they stay with us. I don't think they ever remember us living in a house so the know how to use the potty and the pump and know all about conserving water etc. I am sure they will all be RVers when they get big enough.
They all left this afternoon and Sherri and I had a little time to discuss the plan for putting all our stuff back in here. I have to leave in the morning for Arkansas so I must get all my belongings together tonight. Also in the morning the crew comes to put in our Car Port for the MH. I hope to stick around as long as I can to make sure it is tall enough for our new home.
That is all for this round...I hope to post more when I get on the road again. We have to have good Internet in the hotels so I can get on line. That is iffy...
Somewhere in Time

I got tired reading that. You two have had a very busy week for sure. Still cold up here. We will be heading to Eastern Ohio on Friday. We are ready for it to warm up.
Stay Safe
