Were home But our camper is still camping.

     We left last Sunday early to go camping I planed on staying 8 to 10 days. When we go to the gulf we stop at Atmore Al. there is an Indian  Casino we play at for a few hours each trip. I normaly set aside 200$ for us to play on 100 for her and 100 for me. Me and the wife have the normal split, I cover all loses and she pocket all winnings. This trip we lost 40$ and enjoyed 4 hours of gambling . While gambling over the years between me and her we are at even or maybe slightly ahead. Its just entertainment now my days of earning a living off gambling are past. 

      The trip to this point had gone smooth but the last 10 miles to Atmore I thought I felt a slight slip in the transmission. When we left the casino I defiantly could tell it was over revving before shifting gears. So the last 90 miles I babied it to the campground . 
     
         Once at the campground I tried to get a site for 8 nites so we could leave Monday the 7th . Nope nothing available we got one site till Wednesday and I snagged another site for one more night, but the weekend was booked solid. This is shoulder season and the campground was packed. I expect this in June and July and maybe the first week of august not April ,May. Other campers there was playing switch every day because they did like me and just popped in. We could have moved to gulf state park on the Alabama side for the weekend but this trip seemed doomed from the start.

          I let my wife stock the pantry before we left. while I was sick we had striped the camper of food.  I assumed she put in what we normally ate . I put a few cans of stuff I like in a bag, Hash, tamales, chicken and dumplings, beef stew.  After we set camp we went to Public's grocery they have good fried chicken . Well I asked if we needed anything to round out the steaks and chops and Burgers I had in the fridge. NO lets go ! My wife has been impatient a lot lately and rushing when we got nothing to rush to. This pissed me off when we got back to the camper I wanted creamed potatoes . No instant  ok   no milk  ok what had she brought veg all cream corn and can potatoes and nothing else. 

      Now I was realy pissed all she wanted to do was get back and scroll face book . I  spent the next 4 days being a quiet polite asshole determined to make the trip as miserable as I could because all she wanted was to scroll face book pages and play games. 

      Tuesday I found a mini storage lot that had a spot for the camper . 43$ a month, I think I will leave it for the summer and look at my truck situation . The Dodge did great ,returning home without the trailer but if it cant haul its just a BIG 2 seater car.

  3. at a certain age-ask me how i know- the need is vitamin e mixed natural tocopherols. get her some. introduce it on a good day, not the full moon.
    the 3 nights of the full moon i used to pace the floor like a tiger all night.
    next is vitamin d3 and vitamin b12, b12 comes in under tongue drops or chewable tablets.
    i've been at the point for years that daughter must inject b12 into me. really helps.
    removal of uterus and ovaries was a great relief, but that is only for extreme cases.
