A recent conversation led me to remember a motorhome discovery we made a couple years ago but neglected to report. Just because there is a fuel fill door on each side of the motorhome doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to fill from both sides at once. Truck islands have pumps, a master and a slave, on each side of every bay. It doesn’t matter which side your fuel fill is on you can always reach it with a hose. If you have two separate tanks, you can fill them both at once. Our motorhome has two fuel fill doors but only one tank. Warning; filling one tank from both sides at once creates a real mess when the tank gets full. Another public service message; things not to do while motorhoming.
Angel
Becky and Brian may have to rename their dog, Angel. The story begins at their house one morning with an attempt by Taylor to play the electric keyboard. No success. The keyboard won’t work. First thing; check the cord. It’s plugged in. The cord was plugged in at the socket on the wall and it was plugged in at the keyboard, but there was a problem with that all-important middle part of the cord. It was missing. The cord ends appeared to have been chewed.
An examination of the dog. She didn’t seem to be feeling well. A visit to the Vet. An xray. A three foot wad of electrical cord coiled up in a dog stomach. Laxative. No success. They waited and watched until the electrical cord got close enough to one end of the dog or the other to reach in and pull it out. That worked.The keyboard cord has been bandaged and the dog is well, but there are some harsher names than “Angel” being bandied about.
Too cute
She took a nap and the babies took turns falling asleep, losing their balance, falling off the log, and climbing back on. Way cute.
Too cute?
She piled her eight babies on a small portion of a small log (the part that wasn’t already covered by turtles), and went about her business.
Life on the beach
Warm days and warm nights. Can’t sleep with the window open anymore; we run the air conditioning at night. We sleep in the sixties. To warm up the coach in the morning, we open the doors and windows and let the seventies back in. We get warblers in the yard in the mornings. Hummingbirds zip past my window as I work. We even had one fly in the open door, look around and leave. Terrible distractions.
