Karl and I in the motorhome set off for Tire-rama.  We left the Winnebago and went on our merry way:  a long walk at a favorite spot, chiropractor appointment for me, a few shopping stops and back to Tire-rama.  Jason was just finishing the rear tire check when I arrived.  Taking advantage of a next door gas station that also had rv propane, I got everything filled &#8211; WOW gas down to $2.69 here!!! &#8211; a far cry from the $3.89 which I think was what I paid for the last fill.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Tire-rama, hooked up the Jeep, Karl and I back in the Winnebago and we made one last stop for groceries before heading home.  Despite the hooking and unhooking, a huge advantage to towing the Jeep was being able to load it up.  Usually on these Friday or Saturday runs, Karl is in the back and it can be a bit of a juggle to get everything in the front passenger seat and the small bit of spare room between him and the front seats.  I have to leave him home on the monthly trip to Costco.<\/p>\n<p>Today, though, scads of room!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Oct08\/TiresJeep500375.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"\" height=\"375\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 375px\" title=\"\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Oct08\/TiresJeep350263.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"\" height=\"263\" style=\"width: 350px; height: 263px\" title=\"\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We had such fun being out and about in the Winnebago that I decided to spend the night in her.  I have spent the last 4 weeks gradually bringing her back to fighting trim &#8211; i.e. filling the pantry, work and pet supplies.  I like her ready to roll needing only a few last minute items.  It was a good time to spend a night and find out if I had everything.  I didn&#8217;t&#8230;a few little things.<\/p>\n<p>We are back in the house this morning after what felt like a mini-vacation, even though not quite 12 hours &#8220;away&#8221;.  Today I will continue RV fun: install a repaired window blind, replace several drawer catches and drain and refresh the water tank.  I know, I live a wild and crazy life&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WARNING*** &#8211; another riveting RV maintenance post&#8230; Hard to tell I know, but that is a brand new tire!
