Hope the clear wrapping tape holds til we get back
Even looks like an Auctioneer - if he had a hat
Lunenburg to Halifax - 50 miles - July 30, 2006
Our short day started as a bummer. Had raised the motor home front wheels about 3" off the ground to level it. One jack came down faster than the other when released, twisting the front - loud pop. It was the driver's windshield. The cracks go from bottom to top with many cross cracks. Not a Duct Tape solution; but clear wrapping tape on the inside and out seems to be a good temporary fix. At least it didn't get any worse on the drive to Halifax, even when we hit a couple of good Canadian potholes. Hopefully we will get back to Florida before it falls out.
The drive was uneventful. The scenery along the road is improving. Been pretty bland so far. We arrived in Woodhaven Campground early, but it's Sunday and Nova Scotia still has, and enforces, Blue Laws. Even Wally World and Costco were closed.
Evening entertainment was group generated: A "brown bag" auction of no longer needed items from tour members RV's by infamous Texas Auctioneer, Jim Funkhouser. Bidding was even more wildly confusing than normal as he ought bids like "A Toonie, a Loonie, and 5 quarters for the mysterious objects in the bags. Great fun and most wound up with someone else's useless object - equally useless to them until the next brown bag auction. Much like swapping knives in grade school. OOPS, can't carry knives to school any more like us kids could. Probably not a comparison the younger generation will recognize.
