I’m way behind so I’m tossing aside any grammatical or honesty editing. Tom and Mo’s Excellent Adventure- Coviday- A while back. There is zero chronology to these latest posts. It’s like I have a final tomorrow and I’m just throwin shit out there. Anyone considering replicating our travails hither and yon, might I make a suggestion based on all the wisdom 5 weeks on the road in an empty RV you just purchased 2 days prior to leaving can bring? Do yer frikken homework. Investigate RV sites. Learn the telltale signs of photoshop and Russian/Texan interference.
Well, we left the security of our Austin trailer park/enclave in the trusty hands of our long time, full time friends the Karr family on Wednesday. I passed the trimming baton of 4 month dead overgrown awning obstacles to Jeff. They will most likely be there for a few more days trying to dislodge their coach from the surrounding coaches, dead foliage and the estuary left by a leaking hose bib. We will, of course pray for them.
Yesterday we had the immense pleasure of camping on a failed dirt farm. The crop yield this year was horrible. If you’ve ever seen Oklahoma dust bowl historical photos, that’s close.
This am we drive 8.5 hrs to Feenix where it is currently magma Fahrenheit. (Blast furnace Celsiusfor our science friends) Fortunately for us it’s a dry heat. Very similar in fact to an out of control dry foliage engulfing hillside fire. On the way here the temperature was rising from a moderate 70 to 450 until crispy to the touch. To add to this marvelous bit of solar radiation convection, the coach AC failed for a brand new different reason. It’s a Winnebago highly guarded secret. (I cracked the code) At about 100 degrees the ass soup was overwhelming. Farts started sounding like drowning manatees. Including the dogs flatus. I got a number and called a Freightliner warranty center. It’s a recall issue. Bring it in, Karl said. I thought, just for S & G I’ll try the AC again. The fear of being brought in or foxhole size I-10 divots shook it back to life. Ahh. Simple pleasures! And then, pleasure denied.
