We picked up our new Bighorn back in May and spent the summer traveling here and there. Jerry officially retired May 1. My plans for exit from the DOC have been moved up to September 2016. At the present time - I'm planning to go back to Tech School for a semester and get a Sterilization Tech diploma. This degree would enable me to get certified and work in hospitals sterilizing surgical instruments. I have found many short term temp jobs (like traveling nurses) around the country that would provide a back up plan if we find ourselves lacking in the money or health insurance department down the road.
This morning we left on our first BIG adventure. Our end point is Davenport, Florida. Today's travels had us leaving home headed to Madison to pick up Optimus (Prime... That is the fifth wheel... He does quite a Transformation when setting up). Optimus needed some warranty work done and had been at Camping World for the past month allegedly getting the work done. Upon arriving... Not so much. They did about 1/4 of the work they were supposed to. While I walked the dog - Jerry made a scene and got called into the office. After Jerry unloaded on the store manager enough and as my vacation clock was ticking, we loaded up, headed out and will plan to get the work done in Florida. We are now headed for Rend Lake in Southern Illinois where we will spend the first two nights of our journey at a Corps of Engineers campground. For those who enjoy camping - look into the C.O.E. parks. They have beautiful, big sites on water and are very inexpensive. We have our yellow lab Dagwood (aka Diggy) joining us on the trip. He's old and arthritic and Jerry figured he would appreciate wintering in Florida as opposed to freezing his old bones in Wisconsin. We will continue to update our progress on our official maiden voyage.
