Once again we've survived our semiannual service "rodeo" in and around Lagrange & Elkhart (Indiana). For the trailer: new brake pads, bearings repacked and wheel alignment, new bedroom AC/Heat pump, new convection microwave installed (old one - original to the trailer - slowly died over the summer), pocket door travel lock repaired and door rehung from the track (and the track was reinstalled), ducting for bedroom AC repaired, drain leak for the kitchen sink repaired (actually, replumbed), exterior seals and caulking repaired or replaced as needed, new (bottom) access door for the power cord reel (we lost it - it broke off - on the way out to Idaho during high wind travel through South Dakota), generator oil changed with new air filter and a tune up, and additional brackets installed for the larger MCD shades. Truck got an oil change. Otherwise, it was cold and windy and I got my first head cold & sore throat since pre-pandemic. And Donna then caught the cold from me.
So we had a quiet week just going out or moving the trailer as necessary. Great time to just sit in a hotel room - we had a suite - and drink hot or cold liquids and complain about my sore throat and constant coughing. Eat breakfast at the hotel and go out to eat for dinner only if we felt like it. Unfortunately, there was no Ben's Pretzel run this year and the only ice cream was a pint of Hagen Das from Meijer.
We're better now. Donna been catching up with her phone calls, and I've got a couple I need to make. It's Halloween at the Angola/Hogback Lake KOA, so the park is filling up as I write this and kids are everywhere. Yes, we've already hit the ice cream here. Both of us still have a lingering cough - ice cream always seems to help.
Monday begins our travel down to Virginia. We plan to be in Luray, VA by Wednesday - about the time Ian has moved out (we hope). Not common for us to face a tropical storm as we head southeast to Virginia, but we've done it before and canceled a stay in Luray or Shenandoah Natl Park because of it.
So that gets you up to date with us. Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us. More later, David
