April 26, 2019 Rainbow's End RV Park, Livingston TX

Well this day was a surprise.   As the leaf Springs turn.
Early this morning Sophie was freaking out about something.  She pestered both Steve and I by climbing all over our heads and going around and around til  at 6 am I took them both out.
We were getting the truck weighed then hitting the road to Mississippi .  I quickly changed our reservation from Catfish Haven in St.Martinsville Louisana  to Riverview in Vidalia due to weather concerns. which I did while we were getting weighed.  So we found a big problem while getting weighed.  The new leaf springs we put on were too heavy duty.  And there is also a problem with the shackles. We were 1500 pounds over weight. 
  So off to the office we went to extend our stay.  Here in Livingston.  We have a new spot .  Unfortunately we have no shade but we do have 50 am service so we can run the air constantly.  Once we unhitched and got mostly set up we took a ride over to an actual trailer mechanic.  He will order the correct Springs and Steve ordered the correct shackles.  So we are back to square one. 
We came back ate lunch and both of us took a long nap. 
It was too hot in the back to sew so we just hung out in the trailer watched TV. We had left over taco meat in our tacos. 
Then TV and games and a shower later.  We will be here at least another 2 weeks so we will have cancel all the reservations we made until the one at Space  Coast beginning.May 17th.  We will try to leave here around the 10th and just dead head to Florida.   Never a dull moment  on this trip.  I just thank the Lord we were already set up in a nice park and they had room for us.  Were weren't stuck on the side of the road in bad weather.   Now we will have a chance to possible get together with Steve's friend Kathy Keene.  Also there will be more time to  sew since we won't be moving from place to place and I could see Steve was thinking about not taking the bike out for quite some time.  And really if we are somewhere for 2 or 3 days it is hardly worth the effort of taking the bike out.  I guess we are getting jaded as we are not as energetic about doing excess set up and take down..
