The past two weeks we have gotten all of our medical appointments taken care of and we are in good health. Yesterday we went and had a Covid-19 Rapid Test. It turned out to be not so rapid. Last week we called to set an appointment and they told us since the reason we wanted the test was because we would be travelling we could just show up and get the test. So yesterday we just showed up.
Not so fast, we were told. Without an appointment we would have to wait for an opening in the schedule. After all, the other people had appointments! So we waited almost two hours before we got in, then another 40 minutes until we were done. As we knew, we were negative, but we wanted the test before we left in case of any problems with authorities in different states.
Today we (95% Nancy) went through everything inside, and threw out a lot of stuff. We shredded old and private documents and rearranged the cabinets et al, to make everything fit.
I worked outside, checking fluid levels in the batteries, installed a transmitter at the back of the RV for use with our tire sensors, installed the sensors on the car (I had put them on the RV tires weeks ago), confirmed next year's reservations for here and for our 2nd and 3rd nights of travel this trip.
Yesterday we noticed that the basement door to our propane tank was very loose. It turns out it was several things: a bolt hole was enlarged allowing the catch to move, and the latch had a broken support which allowed it to pull out of its fixed position. So I did the smart thing: I called Danny, my stepson, a wizard at fixing things and designing parts (he does this for a living at refineries and hospitals). Sure enough, the two of us got both problems repaired after two hours. Thank goodness for Dan's ingenuity.
Soon enough we will be on the road. Our first day will be long, eight hours of driving to Southern Virginia. The next day 6 hours to Nashville, TN, where we will stay for two days. Then on to Little Rock, AR, and then onto Texas.
That's it for now.
