Went to my Doctors office today, followed by a visit to the VA Medical Center. Both have given me a green light to start my trek north! I'll leave here at TTO next Friday, spend 4 nights at TT3F (near the Villages), then head for my next stop in South Carolina (1 night) then land in Virginia for a week.

Good timing too, it's starting to get a little hot down here!

Now all I have to do is find a summer job. Sent out about 25 Resume's the other day, already got a couple of calls on it. One I had to turn down because they use ADP Payroll Services, and I'd rather not deal with them again. The other, from Bear's Den Campground in Berwick Maine sounded great, until I did some math. They were offering me a position, where the first 20 hours per week went toward site rent, anything after that paid at $17 per hour. Doing the math, that worked out to $1,360 per month based on their hourly rate. One of the reasons I didn't go back to Sun Outdoors is they wanted $600+ per month, and I didn't want to pay that again. I had to politely decline the position based on their 20 hour per week for site, just can't do that. If half my pay is going toward something, I want it to go towards replacing this trailer I'm in.

I'm sure something will turn up, I still have over 20 resume's out there that have not yet responded.

Meanwhile, I did the "Belly Crawl" under my 5th wheel today, and rewired the entire electric brake system. Got tired of my brake controler telling me 1/3 the time I had an open circuit, 1/3 the time telling it had a short, and the remainder of the time it worked fine. I still have to terminate the wires inside the pin box, rewire the break-a-way, and test everything, but it all should work now. The old wires running through the axles was brittle and breaking.
