Girl Scout outing…

by in Uncategorized

It went fairly well.  Molly got sick the first day, and ended up sleeping both nights in the RV.  We originally had a spot that was farther away from the road, but, no electricity.  It got pretty cold that first night, and not enough battery/electricity to run the heater.  So, given the sick kid and weather, I talked to the Rangers and arranged to move to an open spot with some electricity.  Second night was very comfortable, with plenty of light, heat, and no worries of upsetting neighbors with generators and such.

We did have one issue where I crushed about 6-8 inches of the end of the tail pipe as I was adjusting the RV in our first spot.  I had the battery powered reciprocating saw and some metal/rescue blades.  Took about 5 minutes, but I was able to cut off the crushed portion so the back pressure wasn’t too big on the engine.  I should be able to get this section fixed fairly cheaply so we get the exhaust out the right way.

No immediate plans right now.  I’ll spend May working on things like the mirror, the tailpipe, and the hitch/bike/tow bar setup.  I also have to fix one of the kitchen draws and the blind over the door.  Might work on the TV’s too, and get the CRT’s out, and the LCD’s in.
