Well......with the sticknbrick sleeping 5 extra people last night.....it did seem almost full.....especially with all of the STUFF that Dr. Jeni/Darrel and kids always bring. WHEW!!! However, this morning seemed like an easy time as the kids are growing and getting a bit older which means they know what they are expected to do and what not to do....except Max. HAHA!!
Max is in to everything he can reach....curious soul that he is! He is really quite a good little guy....a real loving little boy....and one that doesn't get upset very often when you say "NO, Max!" Soooo, it is fun to have him around, even though it is necessary to have an adult with him at all times....haha!!!
Today was a really ugly, drizzly day here.....after having some really hard rains early, early this morning. In fact....that is what awakened me before the light of day.....welllllll, that is....before what light of day we actually experienced. And so.....it was a wet day to begin with....and the drizzles didn't help it dry out very much.
About halfway through the morning........Darrel and I began to work on my truck....as the right rear turn light has not been working since the 1st of January....and so, we began by replacing the female receptacle on the truck which the umbilical cord from the front of the RV hooks up to the truck to give it the lights and brakes that it requires. Well.....we had to make a couple of runs to the local auto/Napa store to get the materials we needed to do the job. During that time we decided that it would be impossible to attend the sorority social event this afternoon with a houseful of guests.....rather rude to just get up and leave your family sitting in our house!!!!!
Sooooo, after we got the rewiring done, we still had problems with the rear light working properly. More checking and more rewiring....and still not operating perfectly, but better than it did. THEN.......we had been out to get some food items and returned, having gone in Darrel's new Suburban. We got out in the driveway....and walked around to the front sidewalk to enter the sticknbrick...and we were about 10 feet away from the Suburban when the damned thing HONKED.....and we heard the doors lock. Darrel HAD left the keys in the ignition.......and....
Yes....it was locked!!!!!! With only ONE set of keys....inside the Suburban!!!! Sooooo, after about 30 minutes of trying to get inside with a coat hanger.....we called my roadside emergency service......Coachnet of Forest River RV's. And, within 15 minutes someone was here and got the vehicle unlocked.....VOILA!!!!! And....not cost to either of us!!!!
From that time on, we worked on the problem I have had with the edging sagging under the bedroom overhang when it is hooked up. We took out the TOOOOOO short screws and replaced them with 2.5" self-tapping screws.....and it pulled the edging up tight!!!! Now...I haven't hooke it up, but it is impossible for it to sag when the pressure is up on it from the hooking up to the truck. However....it take a while.....quite a bit of the afternoon....to get this all done.
THEN....it was time to get the dinner grilled.....some inch thick pork chops! And soooo, by 7pm we were eating dinner inside....too damp outside to enjoy and to chance an unexpected shower while eating. Afterwards....the kids continued to play and have fun here......until bedtime.
And soooo, things within the sticknbrick are quiet now....except for the tv as the 1st Lady, Dr. Jeni and Darrel are watching a movie while I make this little post to inform the wold about my day's activities!!! As I said.....a very busy day with very few breaks!!!!! However, as always.....and especially with the little ones here to enjoy.......
LIFE IS JUST INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
