day #76.
my first time connecting grand & bambi, i actually put the ball on upside down.
later, i forgot to turn my tow lights on. i've killed bambi's brand new batteries, twice. they actually had to be replaced. i drained my jeep battery & replaced it too. i've learned what my brakes smell like & remain afraid that i've hurt grand or bambi, because i don't know what i don't know. did you know that you have to take the sway bars off before you unhook & pull forward. i knew ...that too, but one time i didn't take the sway bars off. don't do that.
i had to drain my fresh water tank because i didn't want to tow that weight over the mountains. the only way that made sense to me...was to run my sink water & let it empty thru the grey tank. i forgot to take the plug out of the sink though. so, while i was goofing around outside...that sink filled & water overflowed onto the floor. when i realized that, i reached for towels & tossed the keys that were in my hands, into a stack of 17 pillows. imagine trying to find them.
my sewer water has come up thru my shower, multiple times. my shower has been cold, multiple times. i stayed in a hotel for 2 nights, after my generator spilled gasoline on the floor. i now store it in the shower while i travel, rather than next to the dinette.
my extension mirror really fell off on the freeway & shattered. one time, i glanced at my jeep monitor instead of my rear view mirror & thought bambi had fallen off. i left my side step out & it hit a curb. i have dents on my brand new floor, from decorations dropping on it. i have scratches on the aluminum from trees that got too close as i passed by.
i swerved one time & the swerve made grand & bambi swerve 6 times, at 60mph. i was sure someone should take my trailer mama privileges away. i considered turning myself into the local law enforcement office for reckless driving, but i'd probably just make an inappropriate comment about handcuffs.
how is it possible that my heart could feel so warm inside, even after all of that. maybe {your heart knows the right way. run that direction} my sweet friends.
wild heart • gypsy soul
