We got back to the property and got to visit a local brewery with some friends before the virus got real. We were able to get the shed insulated, Jim started working on the bathroom, we burned some stuff, and decided that, due to the “circumstances in the world”, we were likely grounded for the summer. We were enjoying the deer and turkeys, I even built a bird feeder (that the birds NEVER found). Unexpectedly, Jim got a call with a Workamper job offer in Montana. So, we ordered and replaced the wheels on the house, got the truck ready for the trip and took off. One thing I’ll tell ya – nothing goes as easily as it should. When replacing the fuel filter, the o-ring at the top fall off (without him noticing), causing the destruction of (and a lot of cursing at) that filter and a trip to town for another one. Later, the o-ring was found, safely hiding behind a tire, which caused a renewed wave of frustration. We also learned that putting tires on the house is NOT as easy as putting them on a truck. In addition, one of the lugs was stripped, so that had to be fixed prior to a 2,000 mile trip. It was a very intense, stressful week. Oh, and Bumper got a puppy and we got some awesome pics of the kid’s kid π

Thanks Elaine! I was giving the impression that nothing goes wrong and that you just get in the truck and go, which is definitely not the case. It’s worth it, though if you like this lifestyle. I’m so glad we were able to spend some time with you! Big hugs back!
