It Was a Difficult Day!

Not every day can be wine and roses, and we had one of the other ones today. It was hot, hot, hot and humid. The generator decided that it wouldn't stay running, and the dash a/c couldn't keep up. It got downright miserable and we only traveled about 200 miles. We traveled a state highway this afternoon across the bottom part of Nebraska. A road that I traveled numerous times in my working life and it was an o.k. road. Well, I wasn't in a 43' Pusher towing either! No shoulders, we only ran a couple of tires off the edge 4 times. One stretch of horrible road construction went on for 12 miles. ROUGH! A pilot car for 2 of those miles and then the topper...the laying of gooey tar and oil at the end! We drove really slow but could hear it underneath. When we finally got here to the Victorian Acres RV Park, and commenced to unhook, OH WELL!!! Tons of tar, all over the front and hood of the toad... DH didn't know which way to turn first, thank god he decided to hook up the electricity and we started to cool down inside. He addressed the generator and thinks we need a new fuel filter, so ordered that from NAPA and it will be here in the morning. Anything more complicated than that, I have a Continued Service Plan and we will be seeking service elsewhere. Hopefully it will be fixed by the time we roll in a couple of days. We then spent 2 hours at the car wash removing tar and gunk. @$%#!!!!! We drove around town and down by the Missouri river. Will get more familiar tomorrow, after I drag the tools out and work on the back of the coach....I had it clean this a.m. before we left. Tomorrow night, our youngest and the Hellanova band opens a show for David Allen Coe in Lincoln. We may head up there and try to suprise them. Saturday, a friend of ours is playing music at one of the Apple Orchards north of town here. We will catch up with him tomorrow and maybe go watch him on Saturday. This is a very nice park. Located right off of Hwy 75 headed to the crossing of the river and Interstate 29. Very Clean and quiet! Only wish they had a pool. And now for the news.... Today we learned of the passing of both Michael Jackson an Farrah Fawcett. May they rest in peace. Now I will try to rest......and get ready for yet another hot day....yuk...I need the coast! Hey Mallard Racing! Sanoma and Seattle are looking better every minute! Tomorrow I will address the good things from this little jaunt today!
