The worst is over

I hope. I awoke this morning to a sunny day knowing I had to fill my water tank before nightfall. It's running on fumes. Then I discovered my efforts to conserve water these last few days meant I was not using enough to keep the sink drains from freezing. The pipe into the gray water tank froze. I got that thawed out just in time to learn the park's water supply is shut down due to a broken faucet. Billy was going to open a frostproof faucet for me; now he's got to do a little plumbing first. Uh - oh...

Storms over

The park faucet got fixed, I took on water, and all is good to go. Phew! we made through it with no significant damage to the rig or my psyche.

The Bottom Line

...if you’re young, dear God, don’t try to live the way your parents did. You don’t need three bedrooms, although a roof is nice. Get the hell outa Dodge and stir things up. Leave! Adapt! Believe in yourself! Have fun! The bottom line is, do I have shelter and enough to eat. Everything else is optional. EVERYTHING! There are no rules!!! Just keep it simple: get that first bit down, no matter how, and you can get creative with the rest.
