Exercises in patience

I have still not managed to get Ruby out on her maiden voyage.

Scheduling issues, family obligations, and now a repair has left her free for day trips, which have been nice, but I still have to test all systems.

The pop top will always be a challenge until I get hydraulic assists installed - I don't think my arthritis-riddled upper body will ever be strong enough to do it myself. And I have yet to test my 'maiden in distress' pout on other unsuspecting campers. For some reason I am unreasonably nervous of propane and butane, in fact anything with a flame (all those years of smoking?) so have yet to test out the stove. I still have to fill the water tank, which I will be doing tomorrow night. But I have managed to download the YouTube video demonstrating how to put the Eazy awning together, which should be helpful if I remember to take along my laptop.

Today the van goes in to get the main sliding door repaired.

But all being well, I will get out for a group camp this weekend at Elk Falls campground near Campbell River. I have been to the falls before, and ignoring the Keep Out signs even managed to find myself a lovely place above the falls to bask and watch everyone else crossing the little suspension bridge. 



Which I'm looking forward to doing again.

Wish me luck.
