In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Into every life some poop builds up

We went out to the Oyster House the other night with Mike & Debra for supper.  We tried a few days ago at 5 PM and they were lined up outside so we went at 4 pm.  Judy posed with a fine fellow outside the restaurant.


                                               Notice anything missing in our bathroom?

Wednesday night 10/16 the pedal broke on our toilet.  Being that we are not affluent we only have one bathroom in our cozy home.  Thursday after checking out toilets at Camping World we decided to use the spare parts we carry and order a new pedal to have our toilet rebuilt.  Thetford said they would ship the part Friday and we'd have it Monday.  I called Friday for a shipping info to track it and was told it would not ship until Monday.  Rats.  It arrived late on Tuesday (toiletless for a week) and the RV tech called Wednesday morning to say more parts are needed and Thetford no longer stocks them.  We ordered a new Dometic toilet Wednesday and it arrived Friday, today, afternoon.  Unfortunately it was in too many pieces.  I suspect we'll see if we can find a local one that fits our  requirements.  As a backup a replacement will be shipped Monday for the broken toilet.

Pops concert, scarecrows & toiltless

There was an outdoor pops concert in Orange Beach Sunday afternoon so Judy & I went.  We enjoyed it and the weather.  Good thing it was free, probably why there were LOTS of people there.

It's getting close to Halloween.
 
Notice anything missing?  Our toilet broke Wednesday evening.  We spent Thursday researching new toilets vs. using all our spare parts plus a replacement part for the one that broke.  We ordered the part and was told we'd have it Monday.  I called Friday for the UPS tracking number and was told it would not ship until Monday.  Called today and ETA is now tomorrow, Tuesday.  Good thing our site is real close to the bathrooms.
It's raining right now, good thing we washed the trailer this morning.  All is well.
