Face Squirt

 

Adventure Location:

Decatur, Alabama

Date: October 15, 2023

Let us label this day as a rough one. The shoulder was a real pain most of the night and still a smaller pain all day today. We are pretty sure it was the needle stick and not the medicine that caused the trouble. So another day or three and the OFM will be well.

The cool weather set in and slight drizzles settled in to make it a good day to not run around outside. So we took on the laundry task and it turned out to be a high point of the day since we met a neat fellow. He and the OFM shared stories of our early years that seemed to be very similar to each other except the OFM stories were about 20 years older. But it was a nice way to be at the campground laundry and enjoy a couple of hours of chores.

Somewhere in the day the OFM managed to order what we hope are the right size door latches for the Castle. They are due in about Friday and we hope the OFM can get them installed easily.

Today we needed the windshield wiper squirters and they acted like they were nearly out of water. So we added soapy water to the under the hood container to get them to function again. Sure enough when we were out and about tonight and needed them to squirt nothing squirted. Back at the campground the OFM added more water but the container was actually already full. So we tried them a couple of times more and then went looking for a hose knocked loose or ????

It was a big puzzle for a few minutes until for no reason they started working again. All we can figure out is the tubing was all empty and it took a bit for the water pump to get the tubing refilled because they suddenly started working as the OFM was looking into the nozzle for obstructions. What a surprise he got!

We are assuming the Castle will be ready to roll after Thursday and are trying to figure out where we might want to go. With cold weather beginning to come into the south a bit you can bet we are looking at places south of Interstate20/10. Cold weather and the OFM Teams are not friends.

Now for a good nights rest we hope and enough energy tomorrow to run around trying to have tooooo much fun.
