Sunday Morning

Sunday morning and all is quiet at our house.

Things are progressing nicely and it looks like we just might be ready to leave for Indiana on July 5th. Thinking positively, we made an appointment with the rv people for the morning of the 7th.

The driving lessons are going well, they think I am test ready on a number of points but I still have to work on the air brake inspection some more. Daughter Leslie suggested I cut it up into a bunch of small tests in my head and then just memorize a series of bite size pieces. I think it's going to work. I have the majority of it down pat and will have the rest by the end of next week when I hope to do the exam.

The hitch arrived from Kentucky on Friday and we moved the truck from one shop to another. Now it's going to get the hitch installed and a whole lot of little things done that are necessary to make it an rv puller. The big ones are the hitch and the electrical connections for the trailer. The truck has air brakes and the trailer has electric brakes so they have to install whatever it needs to do that conversion. Apparently it's no big deal but I know "0" about those mechanics.

On Monday afternoon we're going to licence it. We want to licence it as a motor home and I think we should be able to do it. Our provincial regulations say it has to have a bed plus a sink or fridge. It has a bed and we'll put our travel fridge in it. This makes it a motor home in my opinion, however "my opinion" doesn't really count for much with the insurance company. The savings amount to a few hundred $ per year and I would like to do it if I can.

So if this all falls into place we'll have our Freightliner motor home ready by next Friday. I just can't wait. The day we head out on the road with this thing will be a BIG BIG BIG day for us. We're close now.

Today we're going to a motorcycle poker derby, show and shine, and bud and spud dinner. It's called "Wings For Warren." Warren was a good friend who passed away last year from cancer and this is a fund raiser for cancer care.

I would like to encourage you to please leave a comment on here once in awhile if you're reading it. They don't bite and it will make it more fun for those that are reading it. I follow a couple of other "full time rv" blogs and the comments are great.

Have a great week, I have to go and study a "bite size piece" of an air brake manual.
