Mishaps

While camping this weekend, I'll try not to screw up my hitch haul again. Two weeks ago, on its maiden voyage, I backed into one of those low wooden post things and bent the main bar. Ordered a replacement part which came in yesterday, so we're ready to roll again. I'll just avoid the reverse gear as much as possible this time. In retrospect, that was probably a huge blessing. If I'd backed the car up onto that thing, it could have jacked up all kinds of suspension components. Better that it only cost me $20 and a wounded ego...

Speaking of wounded egos, check this out... Maybe MamaLlama's written about it before. I almost had to pay a crooked redneck tow truck driver $100 to pull my dork-mobile out of the sand at Port Aransas two years ago. Fortunately, the friendly guy in the Chevy 4x4 saved me first, for free.

You do have to hand it to us, we keep our positive energy alive and continue to seek out adventures with the kids, despite some dumb mishaps.
