Since we got to Fon du Lac the frustration has been unbearable. Where we intended to park became a major controversy so we have spent almost half our time trying to find a place to park the motor home. Finally today we got one. I can finally get the mounting of the tv's done. We are replacing 2 old analog with 2 hdtv's of similar size. We got a bike rack and the kayak rack made by our friend Bill is fantastic. With out Bill and Barb our attempt to get going would be even further behind. At this stop we have wasted valuable time just lookig for our parking spot.
Tomorrow we will visit some of the kids but I'm sure we will be back again before we go. My fear right now is the first few days could be for snow removal it is still snowing out west but I plan to take it easy with the weather, trying to avoid that get there at any cost because of weather and to keep travel safe, but the further we can travel in a day gives us a better chance and a bit more tine to visit.
Making this change has taught me more and more the importance of accepting help from friends. I was always just a do it myself type of guy, now I have physical limitations that are hard to admit and harder to believe they are hard limits. If I push past them myself it can take days to recover. As someone once said "it takes a village". The disabilities we have can be overcome with just a little bit of letting someone in, and I know I'll never repay it but it will always be a part of me and how I will try to repay in kind. 9 days to go. Keep us with you and we will do the same.
