Headed to Georgia

September 16 – The rains stopped before we got up this morning.  I made scrambled eggs with almond cheese this morning for a double dose of protein!  When Bill went out to unhook the utilities and run the car the prerequisite 5 minutes before towing, it was dead.  He/we forgot to turn the key off once we parked last night.  He asked the neighbor he was chatting with last night if he could drive his car over and jump it.  Instead he brought some little charger machine and it worked great.  Now Bill says we need to get one.

I drove the first shift.  My eyebrow still hurts and I hit my hit on the window edge and now the top of my head hurts too. I think I need a protective helmet.

It was quite foggy this morning through the mountains of Kentucky.  We drove a long way before stopping for a short break.  We arrived at the Camping World in Chattanooga around 2.  That is the biggest Camping World we have seen.  We were told it’s over 70 acres and has a campground and 2 service buildings in addition to the store and the units for sale.  I went into the first service building and told them I had called yesterday about my thermostat.  They called for a guy to come out for me.  He was really nice and asked me what was going on.  I gave him the instructions I was told by the manufacturer and he couldn’t get the module out easily either.  He asked for a Phillips screwdriver and removed the control panel below the thermostat and had easy access to the module.  I had considered that but was chicken to bugger up anything further.  He told me if it happened again to just remove that panel.  He did the steps and, Voila, we had the AC back.  The best part was they didn’t charge us.  It only took about 15 minutes of the guy’s time.  We were happy!

We moved out of the service area to the parking and had lunch before getting back on the road to Adairsville, GA.  We got in around 4:30 and it was a little on the creepy side.  There were only 2 pull through spaces that they used for overnighters and we had called ahead to have him save us one.  A guy got there before us and took one without checking in so I think he would have been told to leave if there wasn’t still the one place.  Some of the “creepy” places are through a half price camping membership we have and we don’t really mind for just overnight stays.  The price is cheap and it was full hook up and wifi.  $17.75.  The creepy part is that most of the sites are full time living quarters which they tend to allow to get junky.  The guy was really nice and Bill said the showers were immaculate.

We had leftover meats with sweet potatoes and steamed squash.  I don’t mind cooking when we get in early enough to do it.  The washer is still not working.  Drat!
