No hookups
It's cold enough this weekend that I need to run a couple electric heaters at night to be comfortable. The reserved sites with electric hookups are reserved for the next couple of nights and the unreserved sites are occupied here at Leasburg Dam State Park so off I go again, this time to Deming where there are three State Parks and several private RV parks to choose from. I chose the Low-HI RV Ranch where I stayed a while last December. There is a major cold snap rolling in with lows forecast in the mid teens and I really wanted to be sure I nabbed a site with electric hookups before it hits. Done. Let 'er rip.
Sheesh, what is it this time?
Before pulling out of Leasburg Dam State Park this morning I checked the oil. That done I closed the hood. It didn't latch. Closed again. It didn't latch. Slammed it. It didn't latch. Huh? Turns out the cross bar in the hood that the latch grabs has gone missing. Really. Can you buy those? How does it attach? Sheesh.

Normal Damage
Personally, I've never been normal. But what I've only recently discovered is how much damage being made to feel I should be has done over the years. This is a revelation of the highest order and unspeakably liberating, once you've processed the accumulated side-effects.
