I posted on Saturday morning's post...
Short recap...I'm leaving today on a trip to NC and to FL and then home...3 weeks. Was planning on taking my jeep along, however, when I got home from the grocery store yesterday and decided I needed to gather the tow equipment together to get her ready, I realized that someone had stolen the backpack that was in my jeep that held the contents of my tow gear...safety cables, wire harness, pins that go into front of jeep to hook tow bar to...I was absolutely ill! Oh, they also stole my gps. It was in my glove box but it wasn't locked. See, I just trust in the goodness and honesty of human beings. I guess I trust too much and now I should be wearing that (I) for Idiot on my forehead! I always figured that the jeep is a soft top, so even if locked, they can get in really easy. I scrambled around for a bit...called the RV place to see if I could get replacements, but come to find out that I will have to order the pins from Blue Ox as they come with the base plate package, and will probably have to the the RV place tomake me a new wire because the end that connects to the MH is specific to the MH.
After being entirely too angry all day yesterday, I turned it over to the Powers that Be and figure it is what it is, everything happens for a reason. I went on line and reserved rental cars in NC and in Ft. Laud for while I'm there.
It just makes me ill that people will take stuff that doesn't belong to them...Hell, ask me for it and I would probably give it to you, but don't STEAL!
(Hm, that wasn't really a short recap, was it.)
Anyway, I thank all you ladies for your hugs and good thoughts. I've just about got everything in FRED and need to get the GD up and moving so we can head down the road.
Echo, I'll still be there Wednesday evening...Good Lord willing and the river don't rise!
