Monday- March 16
Monday was another beautiful travel day. We got to our next campsite in Briierfield, Al at about 5:00 after a long 370 miles. We got the electric & water hooked up and discovered another problem...the hydraulic jacks would not go down. Luckily we were on fairly level ground. This is a huge problem because the jacks level the motorhome when parked & the refrigerator has to be level to work properly. Richard could not understand this because they worked perfectly fine the night before. He said we will have to deal with it in the morning. Since we didn't have television we played cards for a while, but Richard was really tired being that he does all the driving. There is no way he would trust me to drive (I'm sure everyone knows my driving history) not that I would even want to! It's like driving a train...31 feet of motorhome pulling my car on a tow dolly. I know I couldn't handle that!! In the morning we got a good surprise. Richard said he didn't sleep very well because the jack problem was really bothering him, then he remembered...... The jacks will only go down when the emergency brake is engaged. Being tired last night, he forgot to put on the emergency brake! That's not like him to forget something like that, but he was really tired so we chalked it up to one of those "senior moments" (after all we are not spring chickens, ha-ha. ) Anyway the jacks are working fine now and a big problem was averted. I know one thing.. We won't forget again, at least not until next year! Now we have to get the TV working. Speaking of "senior moments" as soon as I remember how to post pictures, I will!!
