Herschel has left Ohio

Postby BirdbyBird » Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:56 pm

Herschel is now sitting on my bed resting here at the Horse Park just north of Lexington. I had to make a last minute run down to my step mother's appt this morning to confirm with her over some family issues. With her hearing I don't like to have improtant discussions over the phone. As it is she will forget some of the info but over all she remembers that I explain things to her and she feels respected....even if she forgets the details. :?

Anyway it kept getting later and later but I promised Herschel we would get out of town. I was just so ready. And all I can say is ACK ACK ACK.....it tried to rain around Cincinnati and I couldn't tell if it was windy of just the traffic and the different feel of towing the Honda ....but I kept my big girl panties on and kept thinking of Soos' towing terrors and everyone else that has to do something for the first time. All I could think of was how much money the system costs and how easily if would be to get something not hooked up right.......There goes the new Honda :? So I think I got the hook up and the unhooking part. I am still a little concerned about the switch I had put in to keep it simple...but I have an emergency PM in to Birdie for help with that, since she has a similar system......because when I unhooked at the PArk to drive to my sight, the Honda would not start, sigh. :? There was a plan in driving here. Plenty of people and support till I figure the details out. :)

Oh, yes and as I was driving down I 75 my daughter calls to tell me the her in laws had not written down the camping weekend dates and they won't be able to come that second weekend in July. Well, and she is trying to decide whether to try to reschedule for the following weekend, forget the whole thing or just have me stop by Charlotte and go to the WHitewater Center where she works part time........ I told her to get back with me, so those jello plans for the week after next are up in the air again. Then again, it opens up all new possibilities.

Well, I am off to get ready for bed. I went to college in Lexington and plan to drive in tomorrow morning and maybe go over to the horse park tomorrow afternoon. Herschel, Remi and I got to watch some polo players earlier this afternoon. When I think about expensive hobbies...supporting a string of nice polo ponies and the trailer and and truck to haul them with would be right up there! They were pretty though....

I answered your PM Tina. Hopefully it will be the answer....auto lights - manual should tell you how to turn them off. The auto lights did me in with the Ford Edge a couple of times. Never did figure it out on it...Book told me on the HHR.

Oh and hugs to Herschel and Remi. Bet Remi is cute with his short hair cut...we need a pic of that.

Yep the ponies are enough of an expense...throw in the truck and trailer...Wow RVing gets cheap.

HAve fun on your trip and I hope the new learning curve on towing is easily remedied. I worried about the auto lights on my toad, but they don't come on - so wasn't something I had to consider. Hope that's it and that it's an easy fix!

I'm glad you made it out of town with the critters. Now you've got the first day of towing behind you, you can do anything!

Sounds like you're doing just fine with your learning curve. At least you have the right attitude about it, and as you say, lots of support here. Happy you're on the way and jello plans usually turn out for the best.

I can feel the angst departing your mind, Tina! Practice makes perfect...and you'll do fine. Can't wait to meet up with you next month here in Central VA. Have a blast in the meantime! :D :D :D

Towing terrors is a great term, Tina! I'll have to add that to my book of angst expressions! You'll know when things calm down when you realize your jaw muscles aren't twitching, clenching and unclenching, and the tooth grinding abates a bit!

Sure do wish you could hit the Adirondacks whilst out and about----Molly would love to see Herschel and Remi again! Plensty of room to park here at this campsite! (Although, the week of the 4th of July might be a tad busy!)

Happy trails to you all!

Way to go, Tina. The pups and I never doubted you could do it!
