Delayed Trip

We decided to delay our trip for one day. We have a lot left to do to get the house ready for our departure and to get us and Roadie ready too. EJ pulled a muscle in her back and has been going to the chiropractor. Her last appointment was this morning.

Rather than get a late start now that the days are so short, we opted to get away Thurdsay morning instead of rushing this afternoon. That's what retirement is all about, you make the schedule instead of someone making it for you.

Roadie, our 2004 Roadtrek Class B motorhome, got new tires in anticipation of this trip. The rear tires were pretty much square because of a bad alignment done in Las Vegas. The back tires were originally on the front, but it got to the point when you hit a significant bump, the steering would begin jerking back and forth uncontrollably. It was pretty scary. We put on 5 new tires (spare included) of the same brand that came on Roadie when he was brand new. Bridgestone V-Steel radials.

We also replaced the blackwater and greywater drain valves. We had a slow leak through the greywater valve so I hope this cures it.
