This morning was our last time to go to the Rec Hall for our work out and morning walk as tomorrow we will be closing up the 5th wheel and hitting the road for the summer. We always look forward to getting on the road, but this year it’s going to be harder to leave as we have made so many good friends that we won’t see for six months. I had only a few things to get done today so I could take it easy, well it didn’t turn out that way. I was checking the lights on the 5th wheel and I had one on the motorcycle lift that didn’t work. I checked the bulb and it was ok. I traced the wiring back to the plug and figured it was bad and when I by pass the plug everything was working. So I made a quick trip to Wal-Mart to get new wiring plugs and picked up new LED lights as I noticed the other one on the motorcycle lift has a couple of the LED not working. Of course the plugs on the lights were different and so I had to go to the storage shed to get the soldering gun. Long story short I work on the lights until 11:00 am. I had to quit and get showered and ready to leave for my doctor’s appointment in Tampa. Being it was such a nice day I decided to take the motorcycle for one more ride. Well when I got home at 3:30 pm I had collected a lot of love bugs on the front of the motorcycle, made me sick to see it as I had spent 4 hours the other day cleaning it. After I got home I went back to work on the lights and with all new wiring and lights everything is a go. Wrong the right tail light still didn’t work. Well longer story short the problem all along was it had lost its ground. I was really mad at myself because I should have known that was the problem and could have had it fixed in five minutes instead of the four hours that it took me. The only good thing about it is I now have new lights and wiring. This evening we went out to eat with our Life Group friends as a send off for other trip this summer. We sure are going to miss them, nice to know that they will be praying for us to have a safe and adventurer us trip. On the way home we stopped to see Grandma. I had to show her how to add new e-mail addresses to her computer. Then it was time to say good bye, we may not get to see her in the morning before we leave as she has a doctor’s appointment that Carol is taking her for. Cheri spent the day putting away the last few things and getting the trailer ready inside for travel.
