AND WE"RE OFF

Well sort of....... We left the rv park in Waskom on Sunday morning, got about half way to Jeremy's house, blew a tire on the left inside dual. We had sensors put into the tires about 4 weeks ago to tell us when a tire went flat..... they worked...... pulled into a rest area, got out to check the tire, sure enough FLAT. I called our emergency road service, they called me back to tell me they couldn't find a tire on Sunday, we would have to wait till Monday morning. About 8:30 they called to tell me they a had a man on the way, be there in one hour. 2 hours later he showed up, it's a southern thing I think. lol He got the tire changed and we were on our way. When he changed the tire we found the sensor had broken on one end. I had to call Campers World and make an appointment to get it fixed before we left Texas. We got to Jeremy and Jennifer's Monday about noon. We spent the next 4 days moving stuff around in the coach for the big journey.

On Friday morning we left for Denton, Tx to get the sensor fixed. I had a 2 PM appointment and plans to start back east after the fix. Well as you might guess, they got done at 6 PM so we drove about 10 miles up the road to a rv park for the night. We will leave in the morning and head towards Ohio. We plan on going to Bowling Green to visit brother Dean, then to Cincy to Stacy and Carrie's for a few days. The back of the jeep is full of stuff to dropoff there. From there to Rachel and Benji's for a visit.

That's it for now
We are off
