Got the RV back from the shop today.-a All the light problems now
fixed, squeaky door fixed, lights all shut off when doors close, and I
had them recaulk the trim piece right behind the door that is kind of
a shitty design and moves a bit.-a I advised them to leave it loose and
fill it in.-a Looks like they did that and filled the gap.-a Should be OK.
Told the wife I want to do another short trip before the end of the
year and suggested going up to either Wisc on Lake Superior or into
Michigan and the UP and do some leave viewing once they really turn.
She did not seem interested.-a Might be going by myself, I guess.-a She
just don't like it like I do.
Got me thinking that I'm going to have to look into pulling my F-150
as a TOAD.-a It's probably about 5750 lbs, so it would be quite a bit
over. Maybe I gotta look for an old jeep or something.-a That could be
fun.

What? Did the wife commandeer the Bronco?

I bought it for her to drive as her daily vehicle. She always
wanted one. I told her it was going to be a TOAD. However,
I'm not going out of town with HER vehicle whether I paid for
it or not. I am not willing to start that war. Plus, I love
the old gal. :-)

We are thinking to do a few days in a nearby Nebraska state park
sometime mid October. Should be cool enough to be pleasant by
then, and we can see some new sights without going far.

Nice. I am pretty jealous of you getting the hell west of the
Mississippi.

I looked around a little bit. The idea does have merit, so I
looked around a little today. I saw one I could see pulling
along. The one thing I really think is important is being able
to go places where the wife wouldn't want to take her new
Bronco. I understand she doesn't want to get it all scratched
up going down narrow roads in the woods. I wouldn't either.
But I'm looking for something not new, that I don't care if it
gets a scratch on it. Saw a nice little 2 door Jeep something
or another today that really interested me. It would be quite
a bit less weight than the Bronco too. Maybe over the winter
I'll get something to work on.
