Good Afternoon, Everyone

Well its Sunday.. Nana and I are getting ready to head to the riverboat (again) ugh... no money, but they sent Nana a 100$ and a free room, and buffets,, sooo, guess we will be going to Lawrenceburg, Indiana in a little while.

FINALLY, made it to Camping World.. pretty neat place,, lots of things to buy for the RV. But no money this time to do any buying, LOL... thanks to the casino the other night.. We'll never learn.. lol,, but did make it over to the RV and got it running,, tightened up the fan belts,, and I bought a Power quick start at walmart, with enough charge to jump it and get it started.. pretty nifty.. glad I bought it.. 20 dollars off, and I did need one for emergencies.. Plus, I can use it for my pick up, to get it started and moving down the road.. 2 weeks til I get paid again, and that money is gone,, have to wait for the second check,, then I will be in the chips again, if I can stay the hell away from the casinos.. lmao..

The battery/alternator appeared to be charging on the RV, so that is a plus,, hope that was it,, least the belts arent screaming for help now,, LOL.. took a few measurements for mini blinds.. bought a couple, and will put them in when it warms up.. A/C wasnt working,, Gary, Nana's Brother, said it worked,, sooo, guess I will need to read the directions (usually after the third try, I read how to do things, lmao)  Then one of these days, I will take it down to Camping World, and have them put a new shroud on it,, looks like someone hit a low branch, or something and busted it up,, I would imagine it is from sun damage too,, inside, need light replacements,, they work, but the covers are crumbling from age and heat,, you know how plastic gets with age and being in the heat/sun.. Also need to figure out the alarm system on the RV,, inside,, there is an alarm, for dangerous fumes.. and when I turned it on, the alarm went off,, think it is carbon monoxide or CO2 or something, from the exhaust.. may need to look under it and check out the system,, Just going to take some time to get it fixed up to use.. little at a time.. its actually ready now, if we wanted to go.. just dont know how to work anything,, we have all the equipment to camp and cook, without using the inside RV equipment, so not a biggie right now.. will take it to CW (camping world) and have it charged (propane) and the water tanks flushed and filled, and make sure the toilet is going to be working in it.. If we can just stay out of the casino, it would be nice to have money saved to just jump in it and go at the spur of the moment,, sure wish Nana would retire.. we looked at newer Rv's yesterday,, 25-35k... man were they nice.. I told her if we would sell the house, we could just jump on the road and go,, right there would give up 1500-2000 a month extra.. hell, maybe even more than that.. I would really only have insurance on the vehicles..Then get us a mailbox in Tennessee or Florida, where they dont pay state income tax,, and that would save us 1000 a year.. plus no property taxes.. I think we could live pretty high on the hog,, let alone save money..

even if we bought a new truck,/5th wheel, with a nice pull behind trailer,, would be really nice... not quite what Im wanting, but a new truck sounded good,, lmao

Well, folks, hate to cut this short, but need to finish getting ready, and get something in my belly before we go.. Yall have a great Sunday afternoon/evening,, and wish me some LUCK this time.. lmao

Happy Farming
