Sunday, Nov 14

Hi all, well, I managed to tweak my back getting up on Friday morning before we went to work, and I ended up staying home while Ron went to work. I hurt too much to even get dressed to take him to work so I could visit the chiropractor. I put ice on it all day and by the time Ron got home, he managed to talk me into going to Urgent Care in the next town north, which is Independence, about 20 miles away. I got some muscle relaxers and we went home.

On Saturday afternoon, I went to the chiropractor and he put helped me with my hip, but, this morning, Sunday, it's still hurting, so I finally told Ron, I don't think I can go back to work to stand for 10 hours putting boxes on the conveyor belt, so we're quitting tomorrow. We'll go in early to say goodbye to all the friends we've made and then turn in our badges and be on our way south tomorrow. It's been an adventure and a learning experience. I guess my body was just not up to finishing out our time here, this job is definitely for the younger, stronger crowd.

Ron is outside right now, taking off the sunshades and emptying out the black tank. I'll do the inside stuff later today. Since we'll be on the road again, we should have some pictures to share soon. Ron seems glad we are leaving, so I don't feel guilty about not working one more week.

We'll be spending Thanksgiving with our good bus friends, Troyce & Lisa, in Graham, TX. He's going to help Ron figure out where our major oil leak is, we just hope it's something simple to fix and nothing major. After we get it fixed, we should be heading west again.

Hi Sharon: Just saw your post about your back. Ouch! Doesn't sound like any fun at all. Glad you cut the job short. And hope the muscle relaxers are bringing you along well. Take care. Hugs to you both, Nancy and Jerry
