It's Friday evening - hooray - the work week is over - and it's time to take our first camping trip of the season in our new/used camper!!
Glenn has to do templates for an upcoming granite job way down around LaVeta which is south - where it's much warmer than here in the mountains! So I 've cleaned the camper - packed it up and now it's ready for Glenn to load it on the back of the truck and fill it with water!
It loaded easily - always a plus! I went on into the house to make some pizza for dinner and Glenn came in a little while later with the news - water problems! Seems like we forgot to blow out the water lines last fall when we picked up the camper - darn..............
The damage wasn't bad - 2 broken pipes that we knew of and 2 flooded cupboards - luckily one was below the kitchen sink where I had a dishpan that seemed to catch most of it - and the other one was under the bathroom sink where of course I had most of the towels and linens! An easy enough clean-up!
Now the decision on what to do - if we took the camper, we wouldn't have any water so the decision was mine! Of course I chose to STILL go camping - since we always grill for dinner anyway, the dishes are minimum and the breakfast dishes could just be brought back to the house for washing!! I just packed another jug of water and we were good!
I KNEW there was a reason for doing a short camping trip prior to our 3 or 4 night upcoming Memorial Day camping trip! And this time it sure paid off! Put some new water lines on the list!
And we're off!
