First days on the road and lessons learned.   

1.  If  something works today, it may not tomorrow.
2.  If something is tight and difficult to move, don't force it.
3.  Don't use the washer and take a shower at same time with the tank valves closed.
4.  Just because a park has wi-fi, it may not be enough to download photos and post to your blog.

We left Las Vegas at 4:45 Sunday morning.  We had to leave early because there was a NASCAR race that day and we needed to drive right by the Speedway. We headed North and the sun came up just across the Utah state line. It was a drive of over 450 miles. I don't think we will drive such long distances on future jaunts. We were tired when we checked in since we stayed out late on Saturday night with old dear friends.  We had a great time, gonna miss them!   As we were setting up, the levelers wouldn't go down.  The slide out hydraulics were leaking.  Too tired to do anything more than settle in, we decided we had all week to get to repairs. The satellite was working, then it stopped in the middle of Walking Dead.  Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
On Monday, we called a couple of repairmen and I was shocked they were able to come that day, we're on time, professional and did all the repairs.  I was amazed. Customer service is alive and well in Salt Lake City.  Tuesday I discovered that just because you think the tank valves are open, it may not be so.  The shower stopped draining and the washer backed up. Easy fixes both,  whew this may be getting easier.  Wednesday morning we awake to the tv not working. This time it was the splitter box. Trying to get it separated from the DVD player it was attached to, the hdmi cable broke off.  Not the one that goes to the front tv, but the one that runs to the back. The day was spent repairing that problem.
The wi fi at the park is not not strong enough for anything other than a quick check of email. I'm posting with the iPad. I think I'll check with Verizon to see if there is something that will get us a better signal where ever we are.  I'm not very good with the iPad yet and don't know how to transfer pictures from my phone to the iPad. It's all a learning process!
Today is Thursday and fingers crossed, all is well!  I spent the morning making "adopt me" harnesses for the local no kill shelters dogs who are walking in the St Patricks day parade on Saturday. Hubby spent  the day at our daughters school celebrating 'pi day'.  This retirement stuff is pretty good!
