In North Carolina

We are spoiled. Living in a motor home is so simple.  Every thing is practically at your finger tips. As a matter of fact, this key board is adding letters and missing letters. If I were in the motor home I would go in the bed room, raise the bed and get an extra keyboard.  LOL ( I corrected  6 words in that last sentence.)  But I am in our former home. The one we left to start full timing in the motor home.  We own two homes just like this. They are Condos. (or as us southerners say it is a duplex.)  HOWEVER, Shirl would not live in a duplex, so it had to be called a CONDO.  In reality it is a condo because I deeded separately.

I am in the bed room on another  computer. This bedroom is twice as  big as our motor home. I would rather be in our motor home.

How we got to NC is a special adventure, one I will never forget.

We called Enterprise to rent a car.  After 30 minutes of confusion, they said we are sending a driver to get you. (I am sure my deafness interfering with Ssherry's trying causes a lot of this.)

Anyway,  Tyrone drove up. (shortening a long story) He is a SAX player for famous singers. Played 30 years for top Record  companies. Marvin Gay & Odis Redding were a friends, and gave him a start. His daddy is a PHD. and  Mother a music teacher. The list of famous singers he backed up is endless.  We learned much more, but  you and I might have thought it was BS, until we saw his 'ride'.  Special ordered from Mercedes, 32 feet long and cost twice what our coach cost. It was a special order miniature motor home. We saw it.  He laughed at his job with Enterprise, 'I gotta do something between gigs.'

Enterprise said our economy vehicle had a 'tire  issue' so they had to replace it with a 'Dodge Challenger' or a pickup truck. I chose the Challenger. Honestly I know very little about 'Muscle Cars' or new 'no key' cars. But I had a 2 minute orientation and was turned loose.  I looked at the speedometer, top speed is 160mph. Wow if I had driven this in 1956, I would have been a 'Bad Dude!'

I don't know the size of the engine. But I do know when I needed power on the trip to NC, I HAD IT!

Anyway, meeting Tyrone and driving a muscle car was 'another wrinkle in my horn.' (As mama would say!)

Pictures later when I learn how (if I am here that long). We got an e-mail from the head of repairs at Cummins, it will be $2480 to get the engine ready to fire up and trouble shoot. No one likes to hear that, but fortunately living full time in a motorhome, we plan for this, it ain't fun, but we will not have to float a loan. We do hope nothing else is wrong, but that will be known later.
Even with that, Life is good. It was a thrill talking to Tyrone today.
