Just a few weeks ago Thor, our RV, was being towed into the shop and Chris was recovering from jaw surgery. But I’m happy to report all is well now and we are back on the road for our annual summer trip up north.
Thor needed a new water pump and it’s actually a good thing that we discovered it before we hit the road. He was on his way for his annual physical, also know as State Inspection. Instead, a 3-hour ordeal ensued.
First a tow truck that could handle Thor’s girth had to be located. Then Chris waited an hour and a half on the side of the road for the tow truck to arrive all the way from Conroe. Thirty minutes to hook it up to the tow truck and finally the tow to the RV repair shop, which seems to be Thor’s second home. I think Chris secretly enjoyed getting to ride in the cabin of the tow truck and chat it up with the driver.

We left for our journey on the day that Chris’s one-month no-chew diet ended. But he’s still on a soft-food diet so this time our blender is accompanying us instead of our toaster. Smoothies are replacing waffles.
Amazingly Thor was repaired in just under two weeks; our RV mechanic is usually ridiculously slow. Thor stopped off for his physical on the way home from the shop and passed inspection. So both Chris and Thor now have a clean bill of health. Let the summer vacation begin!
Our first stop is Oklahoma City. I love the Twin Fountains RV Park WiFi password: happycamper
