LAZY SATURDAY

Today is cold and dreary here in Springfield, Ohio! Not much going on today due to all the errands and grocery shopping we did yesterday. Why is it running around all day makes you more tired than if you worked 8 hours? We did shop for the whole month of February so I guess once we get on the road we'll be shopping more often. Most RV refrigerators unless you have one of the new double refrigerators we saw at the Dayton RV Show, don't hold much, and the freezer section is even smaller. It was suggested to me in RV Dreams chat that one of the things you can do is to shrink wrap everything, and then the food doesn't take up so much room. I will be checking this option out to see about the cost, weight, and how much space one of these units will take up in the fifth wheel. I'll keep ya posted on the progress with that. Sounds like it could be a good idea though. Most of the chatters I talked to said they shop once or twice a week. Wow will be alot of changes to get used to, once we're on the road! Then again I think we should be living at a more relaxed pace than we do now with the kids and grandkids running in and out, doctor appointments, and so on!

NEW TIRES AND FIFTH WHEEL HITCH:
Before we go on the road, we have to get 6 new tires for our truck! In the days of oxen pulled wagons they had to have food and water for their oxen, so I guess having to put tires on every once in a while is comparable. We want to start out with brand new tires just for peace of mind. When we bought the truck it had pretty good tires on it so we want to wait until the last minute
before we leave to have new ones put on.
When we bought our fifth wheel, we bought the hitch at the same time. So we need to make an appointment to get our hitch installed in the back of the truck, before we can even pick up our new fifth wheel! There is a lot to be done and it seems to be taking forever, perhaps I'm getting a little inpatient to get our trailer picked up, and start putting things into it! This last stage before getting on the road feels like its going to last forever! Then there is so much we still need to buy before we can go. The internet and tv options are so confusing it can scare you to even make a decision!
