Sorry Daize!!!

Full-timing must increase the odds of getting a boo-boo somewhere on 
the skins. Think of it as a battle scar, mark of pride in pulling your 
home everywhere you go. Yea right, I did some pretty stupid things this 
summer when tired. Before I had my FC raised I had to be very careful 
where I pulled off the road to avoid dragging the waste tank. I was 
especially  leery of gas stations off the highways that were up hills. 
But, one late day I was tired, about to pull off for the night and 
needed gas bad. Got off for a station and it was up a hill but I 
thought I had enough clearance for the way down. Wrong. I exited the 
way their traffic plan wanted you to go (opposite way I came in) and as 
I approached the bottom realized I'd drag not only the tank but the 
rear bumper as well! I had to do a 25 point turn to back up and go the 
other direction. I blocked ALL the traffic trying to exit. There was a 
gully behind me and two young guys had to direct me as I made the 
numerous turns. VERY embarrassing!

Oh well,

Patti
