Back on Florida soil...

October 23 – Back on the road a few minutes late this morning.  We were on schedule until I received a phone call from a manager of Agero, the company that handles the Roadside Assistance program for Safeco Insurance.  She was reaching out to apologize for the poor service we received and let us know the person who we had first that screwed up royally was going to be retrained.  She also said for me to send her the photos of our damage to the RV and the estimate for repairs and they will reimburse me and collect from the tow company.  Nice!  She’s sending me a claim form and once we get home and get an estimate I can submit it.

So that was a pretty nice start of the day!  It was a rather boring drive today.  We opted for Rts 45 & 84 which were sometimes 4 lane but mostly 2 lane back roads with little traffic but quite a few small towns.  It was scenic and lots of cotton fields along the way. 

It was well after 1 when we stopped in Andalusia, AL at David’s Catfish House for lunch.  OMG, was it good.  Bill didn’t care for the Southern sides and had chicken tenders, hush puppies and cole slaw.  I had a whole fried catfish with hush puppies, cheese grits and turnip greens.  Omm, was it ever good.  I didn’t leave a crumb and Bill took 2 hush puppies and a chicken tender with him!!!  I do love my country cooking every once in a while!

We arrived a Sunset King RV in Defuniak Springs around 3:00.  I hooked up the cable and Bill emptied the tank and back-washed the black tank.  We have a bad leak behind the panel and it just runs water in the compartment.  One more thing to add to the list.

Since the power worked last night on the washer and AC, I figured I’d do a load of Bill’s rag towels and wouldn’t you know, the washer and back AC won’t work again.  There must be a short or something loose somewhere!  I’m so over this!

I adjusted the clasp on the silverware drawer so that shuts now.  I used Bruce’s trick with a toothpick to repair a couple of screw holes in the washer/dryer compartment.  Thanks Bruce! 

Time for some dinner!  I made a couple of hamburgers, cooked 2 ears of corn, heated up a leftover piece of chicken, green beans, asparagus and Bill’s lunch chicken.  Ended up with a burger and some green beans!  We’re meeting Jean and Paul for dinner in Tallahassee tomorrow night so was hoping to knock out all of the leftovers – well, there’s still lunch tomorrow….

We opened our half gallon of Huckleberry Ice Cream and had small bowls for dessert.  Yum!

Time to do a bit of reading!!
