And you thought life on the road was a picnic…

One of the difficulties of life on the road is hair and nail appointments. You really never know what you’re going to get! Today, for example, Roberta and I set out to have our nails filled. We went into a nice looking salon and ‘Sarah’ could do us, although one at a time. I went first. Roberta ran off to do some grocery shopping. Over an hour later, Sarah was finally finished with what appears to be her very first set! We made an excuse for Roberta’s fills and practically ran out the door. It would be nice to say that “you get what you pay for” but at $35 (plus tip) this was almost double what I pay at home. And you thought life on the road was a picnic…

Lester made a big purchase today and bought supplemental brakes for the Tacoma. For all you mechanical types, he bought Smartbox Braking (Vacuum-Assisted Braking) and the model is called Air Force One. The best thing about this particular brand is that you don’t have to manually move a braking device in and out of the truck every time you want to unhook it from the RV. It will be installed on Friday.

Yesterday I attended a seminar about Habitat for Humanity. It reaffirmed what I had already suspected about this worthwhile cause. It is not a give-away program. Everyone who is selected has to put in their own ‘sweat equity’ and then they have a mortgage for their house. The people who are selected are considered the ‘working poor’. The concept is that everyone should have simple, decent housing. I urge anyone who’s had an interest to explore it more fully.

We’re excited to have made plans for dinner on Friday night with Danny & Sharon Alan, Danny is Tanda’s brother.

It’s a good day. But seriously, aren't they all?
