Wanda woke up at 5am and cuz JW was still snoozin’ decided to do some readin’. We wanted to head out by 9 or 10 this mornin’. We were right on track. We had th’ car on th’ dolly and were ready to pull out when Wanda noticed the bathtub was half full of water. JW drained the gray tank, but th’ tub still had water standin’ in it. About 30 minutes later we had that little problem taken care of and a sparklin’ bathtub. So we left Strafford at 10:30. After we had been on th’ road for a while JW decided to stop and check on th’ car. It was then that he realized he had not put th’ lockin’ drift pin in th’ dolly. Guess it’s still at the campground in Strafford. Well, I guess that’s alright, now we git ta go shoppin’ agin.
[ Now, this here picture in th' Dairy Queen in Cabool, kinda puts me to mind of what a lot of my FaceBook friends are a sayin' is a gonna happen in th' near future, iff'n things don't change.] I don't believe it though!
------------------------------------------------------------
We stopped in Cabool at noon for lunch. We’d been back on th’ road for about 30 minutes before JW remembered he hadn't hooked up the travel lights on th’ car. Now did we really need to rush back to Camping World last night? He decided since we'd come this far without 'em, he'd just hook 'em up before we hit the road tomorrow. I guess that’s all fine and dandy, that is if none of these Highway Patrolmen notice the error of his ways. Ya know, sometimes I get a little concerned about ole Granpaw Jay.
We finally arrived in Hayti, Mo (that’s down in the bootheel of Missouri and pronounced HEY TIE) at 6:00 pm Sunday night, havin’ drivin’ close to 350 miles. Now not that we wanted to drive that far or, for that matter that late, but there were no campgrounds open. AND since ol’ JW had not put the travel lights on th’ car, we really couldn’t risk goin’ any farther after dark. So, guess where we camped ? Drury Inn & Suites. Whoo boy, HOT and long showers tonight, yeah!!! Free supper and breakfast at th’ Drury and really good. Later . . .
