Oops!

This is an electric box; what RVers plug in to to get the blender to work.

No electricity - no daiquiris.

.

It's a vital part of camping comfort.

.

That thing about making sure the breakers are off is pretty important too.

I blew up a $100 land line once. The snap crackle pop was mighty impressive!

.

There's a box at every parking site of course - even the sites that aren't in use.

.

We arrived at a place with really small camp sites, so the next row over was available for overflow parking. I proudly backed the motorcycle trailer in a space. That little trailer is so short it jack-knifes in no time, so I consider it a triumph when I can maneuver it in. It wasn't real straight but it was THERE!

After unhooking the fifth wheel John backed the dually in.

As he was moving back he heard a noise; something he'd driven over he thought; so he kept backing up carefully keeping an eye in the mirror and avoiding the car and motorcycle.

.

.

.

What he didn't avoid was the electric box.

.

Here John autographs the box he bought.

.

He actually got a good deal. The $500 box was $197 plus a bottle of Jack Daniel's.

.

The truck was a different story.

.

The entire passenger side needed repair to the tune of $2000.

This was by far the most expensive R V park we've ever stayed in.

.

.

While the truck was being repaired we went to the local Walmart in the car.

You know those motorized robot "mules" they use to take the carts back to the store?

A guy steers the mule by remote control while a long line of carts snake across the lot.

Well, it doesn't always work as well as you'd hope.

The front passenger side of my car got hit by a bunch o' carts on the fly.

John thinks the guy did it on purpose, but I think he was just simple-minded.

.

I base my belief on the fact that his expression never changed, even when Purple-faced John jumped out of the car and began to question his family habits.

I don't believe that man understood that he'd done anything wrong, but most of the people within the range of John's voice certainly understood HE was upset.

.

We can laugh about it now.

Just not real loud or long.

It's more of a chuckle.
