Shhh! Mona's sound asleep!

The night closes in on a sleeping Mona and a typing Ken
Our home is now parked in front of our house.

Tonight we are sleeping in the coach for the first time since the trip to pick it up at David and Margaret Hickson's in Mobile, Alabama. Quo is 98% loaded with all we will be taking with us. Our clothing, our kitchen, our bathroom, our two offices (all greatly reduced in space requirements). The new smaller printer/copier/scanner is configured and ready for work. Our desks are either side of the dining table when dining is not happening. And the refrigerator is stocked with our fav ice cream.  It gets no better than that, unless its parked on a beach (stay tuned).

Tomorrow we off on a 10 mile away trek for two nights at French Creek State Park. There we will learn much more about how to live in our new home.  For instance, I learned today that the water pump was fine.  it just needed some air removed from the water lines with the correct sequence of start-up procedures. Yes, I read the book and Tim Gibble, our plumber, read the book and brought his own camping experience and professional skill to bear, but sometimes it just takes a learning curve, and a village of internet accessed RV techs  (TY Aaron at Shaeffer's RV above Hamburg, Pa).

The newly rebuilt leveler's were also giving us some fits till John McGrath drove over this morning from his shop in Monocacy Station, 2 miles away, to show me the best way to drop and reload the levelers in their lifters.  Ah, education.  it's amazing what a little can do!

We're hoping to confirm the start up procedure for the electric/gas hot water heater tomorrow before we get to the park.  Isn't it great that John MsGrath's shop is actually on the way to French Creek?  Oh Jo-hn!!!  :)
