Day One on Our Adventure

Oct 2, 2012
  Our first day on our new adventure.
  We loaded the truck... boy did we load the truck, we decided to keep the dishcloth and dump a few books, clothes and other non essential items.  The porta potti found a home first in what's supposed to pass as a closet, its a small  rod under a shelf. The rod holds our 2 coats and 2 jackets thats it. Above the closet is a shelf for our laundry sheets (yup we go with the soap and softner all in one sheet). Our shampoo, conditioner (yup we share) soap scrubbies, (no we don't share scrubbies we may share all germs just not those)lol. Van's shave kit and my cosmetic's bag, mirror, hand sanitizer (we use alot of that as our only form of hand washing in the truck.)
the other side behind my seat is all cooking and food related items, microwave, refridge, coffeepot, paper plates, paper bowls, plastic spoons, forks, knives, and solo cups, paper towels, plastic bag holder. Above the kitchen is my book bag, our office supplies, wish I could say my lap top fits up there, it doesn't. We do have the dvd's and all the change we's hoarded for years.

 We picked up the trailer, Van started the refer as instructed before leaving the yard...oil poured out. So, the shop guy came out and said they had left the cap off the oil.:) he offered to wash the oil off.
He said, "I wish I could grow hair like you."
 Van said, "you can."
 he said, Noo I can't, and he pulled off his hat and showed Van his bald head."
 Van said, "Yes you can, and pulled his hat off."
 The kid laughed and asked to borrow Van's hat. he disappeared inside the shop wearing  Van's hair hat. We could hear laughter.

 On the truck again, I set the lady garmin for West bound and down, we are loaded up and trucking with Christmas lights, paper and toys:) We aren't sure where we're going but we're gonna have fun getting there.
  I had enough fun by 9:30, so I crawled into Van's pajamas as I can't find my own and climbed into the bunk. Yano those old fashioned vibrating beds you put a quarter in? Well I had my own free one... I have no idea why anyone would want a vibrating bed. My face itched in no time as it bounced on my sheet. I swiped Van's feather pillow and believe it or not... it didn't bounce nearly as bad.
 I will say this much, compared to our first truck we had, it was a 1979 Mack with a coffin sleeper. (that means they took out the window in the back of the truck, you crawled thru the boot and dropped onto the bed. It felt very much like a coffin.
 Van and his dad put innertubes (the kind you float down the river on) aired them half full of air under the sleeper to keep it from bouncing you so hard you physically left the bed on every bounce.
 That sleeper still bounced me so much I was sore the next day.
 Compared to THAT old sleeper back in the day... this one floats like a butterfly
