He will have to have a look at that and see what he can fix up to make it better, although it won't be long and the weather will be improving anyways.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-28743335192630365822017-11-18T08:25:54.235-05:002017-11-18T08:25:54.235-05:00All done and one the road again!

On the positive side of things, you did get started on your newest adventure, once the tire is fixed you will be moving forward,you had a fantastic dinner, soon you'll be far enough south to get out of the cold, and at some point the sun will come out. You're shelves are stocked, you've got wine and the fridge works. Not mention the cheap fuel in the future. So over all, not really a bad day. Safe travels.
