Bad Luck Came By To Try To Stop Us Again

 

Adventure Location:

Date: January 22, 2024

Just like the last five months as soon as the OFM got some plans going for rolling, trouble showed up. About 0830 this morning the shut down plans call came in. The Teams credit card showed it was involved in a bunch of stuff in something in Australia and needed to be stopped until the situation was resolved. Yep here we go again something to slow down or prevent us from rolling.

At lunch with Jerry, The OFM went to order our burger and our credit card was declined. A nice loooooong lunch time talking with Jerry let the OFM calm down a lot. It was about 1400 when we rolled back to the Castle and tackled the trouble again.

To make the story a lot shorter the situation was resolved in our favor as we did nothing wrong (beyond trying to get rolling) and they would unlock the credit card “ in bout three minutes.”

Since our confidence level was very high (yeah right) the OFM waited four minutes by walking to the campground store and found that they had actually done what they promised in the promised time. The credit card worked correctly and the candy bar we purchased to try out the credit card went into the prize bucket for the campground coloring competition. So for now we are back on schedule for leaving Feb.1



Then later tonight the OFM got an email that an Amazon package that was being delayed will now be received tomorrow. Maybe we used up all of our four months of bad luck during the miseries of this fall of getting the Castle, Sierra and the OFM repaired and ready to roll.

The good news is the afternoon weather will often be nice enough to get out and do some walking again to help the OFM with his attitude lately.

It is time for everyone to work on trying to have tooooo much fun again.

  2. Very good. The last time my credit card got scammed, they had to cancel my card/numbers because it was out there in the Ethernet waiting to be used by another undesirable. I had to wait a couple weeks to receive my new one. That is why I carry two. Good luck.
