On the Road – Day 2

Second day on the road and once again, didn’t get as far as I would have liked.  Spent much of the morning preparing a few day’s worth of Oatmeal once I located the various ingredients and searching for side mirror extensions.

I liked yesterday’s positive format and as tired as I am today, I think it would be worth while to repeat to stay positive so here it goes.

I’m thankful for/that:

• I was able to get some sleep (4 hours) after going to bed around 5AM EST.
• Oatmeal with rehydrated blueberries for breakfast.
• A nice walk with Sasha to Advanced Autoparts in the same  block we parked for the night to buy side mirror extentions.
• Not losing the Advanced Autoparts receipt so I could return the side mirror extensions hassle free.
• The nice sales person at Car Quest (another autoparts store within walking distance from where we parked) for directing me to the RV sales parts store down the road a bit.
• Keeping my cool and backing the trailer around a corner without incident or any frustration in a hotel parking lot I should never have pulled to so I could pull back out.
• Finding side mirror extensions that work.
• Good wiper blades on the truck to clear the rain.
• It wasn’t raining as I was passing through Saint Louis during rush hour.
• How fast diesel fuel pumps for Semi’s pump fuel into the truck.
• Hershey slept most of the day and has quit crying, even when we hit bumps that disturb his highness.
• Sasha has also adjusted well to riding.
• This early morning’s trailer repair appears to be holding.
• Internet for the RV park has been ordered and is scheduled for delivery on Friday – I need to be there with the RV.
• A parking lot where I could park near an (unwelcoming for RV’ers) Walmart where I bought an inverter to charge the laptop as the trailer’s battery does not power the AC outlets.
• Being tired enough I should once again be able to sleep through Sasha’s snoring once I finish this post.
• What looks like the ability to put in a full day of driving tomorrow.
• Finishing this blog post before falling asleep.

Good night all.
