Shipslog

This is a Log as we travel to keep us in touch with the real world. We spent a lot of time in the real world now we love the space in the travel world. We live and love full time in our motor home. We tow a Honda CRV to scout around in. We have driven to Alaska and all the lower 48 states. We parked and took a side trip to Hawaii. After traveling in over 20 countries we are most proud of the 1900+ miles we hiked on the Appalachian Trail. Our plans are to travel as long as our health allows.

Habits

Cars and animals:

Dog gone good driver!

Some thoughts for today:

We still haven’t driven our new-to-us coach yet. But we are in and out of it trying to get used to it. Of course by habit I each for lights where they were in our previous coach.

I notice I am like that about the micro-wave units. The start and stop buttons are EXACTLY reversed from our coach and here in the house. I will put in cook time and hit the stop button, cancelling the cook time so I start all over again.

It is said we humans are creatures of habit, and we sure are..

Just today my sweetheart said, “I still cannot get used to our moving the trash can from the corner to under the sink. I walk to the corner then come back to the cbinet under the sink.

I can remember changing cars and it took a long time to REMEMBER the light switch and wipers were just opposite.

Anyway that is me for today. I am tied up most of the day with volunteer work… I B tired..

I'm mostly known as 'MA' said...: Habiits can be good and bad. It would be difficult to learn somethings all over again. I've experienced a lot of changes and trying to break old habits for new ones, but it isn't easy at all. Hope you can enjoy the new coach on the road soon.; March 1, 2023 at 8:58 AM
Mevely317 said...: I'm glad to know Tom and I aren't the only ones! It's not a big deal, but always annoying when I get in (for instance) my DIL's sedan or a rental car and everything different. I've been known to sit for 20 minutes trying to familiarize myself with the location of the windshield wipers, etc.

Like 'Ma' said, I hope you're able to take your new ride out for a spin real soon!; March 1, 2023 at 9:47 AM
Lisa said...: We have a new microwave and I have the same problem. The stop and start buttons are reversed. We have lived in this house for 18 years and I still get the ceiling fan and light switch confused. I have never checked but I think they are probably on different sides in other rooms and thats why I’m always mixing them up.

finally gonna blog a while.
