The first outing with Smokey is over.

This morning we got up and watched TV while enjoying all the room we now have with Smokey.  The stuff we really are enjoying is the fridge that is big and the water heater.  I never had a water heater that my wife could handle and with the hose hooked up, which is something I never had before either, we seem to have an endless supply of hot water.
Good looking rugs for $5.00?

We decided to stop by Home Depot and look at window blinds and carpet.  We have decided on using blinds, like Wilbur has, on the dinning room window where the covering is gone.  And then we found a deal on some throw rugs on clearance.  So we stocked up with rugs and have plenty of those all around.
After checking in with the Elks Lodge and paying our $15.00 a night we had lunch and packed up for our trip home.  Oh and I got to use the dump station.  Now this is really living large.  The one hose is connected in the "wet bay" and without even bending over to look under the coach you pull one handle for each tank and it's all done.  There is a faucet in the wet bay for cleaning up and even a hose connection on the black tank to flush it out.
I did have a comment to the Elks with their electric boxes.  They just replaced the power boxes with a small box like used on the side of a house for a 15Amp receptacle with a flip up cover.  And my new 30Amp plug would not even come close to fitting in the box.  I ended up buying a 30Amp extension cord and that would just barely fit in the box.
The trip home went just fine.  I think their might be a vacuum leak because the cruise control works sort of and the heater does not switch from defrost to heat.  All the heat and air comes out the defrost vents and not so much out the bottom of the dash.  Always something to do along with our long list we worked on this weekend.
Nice looking dash.......except for the red light that I don't know what it's for.
 We drove 150 miles with NO SMOKING either.
