It’s that time of year again.  Time to service the Ram.  I had made the appointment a few weeks ago.  We are going to go to Melbourne, AR this morning to have the oil changed and fuel filters replaced.  This is necessary for a couple of reasons.  First and foremost is that it is good “health” for the truck.  The second is that we are out of town again and it is time to register the truck.  Last year we got an exception when we were in Colorado.  I just have to show proof of service and that it is in good condition and file online with the state.  Then I can get it registered.  The drive was interesting.  20 miles of windy and curving road.  They even had a sign saying the same thing. We did see a couple of white tail deer on the trip.  Definitely taking a different way home.

Actually we are not going straight home.  In the kitchen in the Inn we have a peninsula that is a good place to hang out, especially when we are waiting for our guests to finish eating so we can clean up.  We have 3 wooden stools but they are not real comfortable as they have no padding in the seat nor do they have a back.  Nancy found a couple of stools for $25 in Rose Bud, AR.  So we are headed to Rose Bud.  It was an uneventful drive.  The stools turned out to be a great find.  Once we had the stools, we headed home.  about 45 minutes to an hour drive.  On the way we decided to call Moix RV to see what the status of our repair was.  Low and behold, it is ready.  Why we never got a call is beyond us but none the less.  It is ready.  We blocked out the cottage for Sunday through Wednesday of next week.  We get to move our stuff again.  Looking forward to getting our home back.
