2007 Tracy's Birthday Bash April 20-22nd

Paula sorry about the brake controller.  What time are you planning on getting to the campground?

[SheBantam]

Not sure, I wanted to bring Sara, she is better, but not well, and I thought a weekend with friends might help her.  The little ones go to Kim's this weekend.  Logistically it is NOT going to work. Too much driving if I go get her. I have off on Friday (YEA for comp time), have a chiropractor;s appointment at 9:00 should be out by 9:30 (8 minutes on the stationary bike, then 10 minutes getting fried and steamed (electrodes on my back muscles shocking me and help in place with a techy hot water bottle), then I get popped and cracked...then I can leave. Yes it is helping.
Sara lives near Point Lookout SP (20-ish miles this side), 65 miles south and east of DC...3 1/2 hours in good traffic and not towing each way. Kids cannot miss school to come early on Friday or Thursday night. And her dad go get her...fat chance.  Raymond has spent the last 2 days in bed, he is not up to going either.

All that said, to answer your question, probably noonish to 1:00, if I do not stop for grocerys, Then probably around 2:00.

I am going to reshedule the windstar so I have time to move stuff to the truck without straining too much.

Yes, I am still pretty mad about the hitch, electric and now the controller, though it is on a different vehicle.

I wish she could come too.  I think it would be very good for her to get away at this time.  I think she is off of school, so that would not be a problem, if she came early.

The problem is not her schooling, it is just getting her here, her brother and sister are in school, Donna could not make the drive and be back in time for them to come home from school...plus she is driving an 80's something Mercedes that is questionable at best. I cannot take of Thursday, they are not real happy about me taking off Friday, but I do have comp time I have to use.

If I did go get her, I would have to leave around 4:00 AM to get there between 8:00 and 9:00 towing, pick her up and I have no clue how long it would take me to get to I 80 from there, about an hour and a half to DC from her house, especially towing and lights. I really cannot miss the Chiropractic appointment on Friday, that was what saved me setting up this last weekend.  I was loose from being shocked and cooked then snapped popped and stretched.  Made set up a whole lot easier.

GOOD NEWS!!! The dealer left a voice mail that the truck is done AND they FOUND the old Prodigy (unless they had an old one sitting around and felt sorry for me and just told me that they found the one in the truck...will never know...I have spent a lot of money and they knew I was not happy about the electric in the minivan and coming home with no brakes in the rain after the duct tape got wet and stretched leaving that connection iffy at best about half way home.  As long as I had lights and brake lights, I was OK, had them). Will pick that up, make another trip to camping World to return the unopened box, and get my $165 charged back !!! YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Maybe the cloud is lifting after all.

Sounds like the Weekend is going to be nice, anything has to beat last year, though HR does not have a hot tub...maybe we can crash Adam to use the hot tub at OL.  just kidding...maybe...

Andy,

Looking forward to seeing you and Helga.

Trailer is all loaded, I just have to check the tire pressure, hook up, and have a nice leisurely drive up to the Poconos. For the first time since we started camping, we actually got everything done the night before.

I looked at my reservations, and it says check in time is 3:00p, so we'll sleep in and depart between 11:00 and 12:00.

Happy & Safe Travels Everyone!
