Today…we’re dipping our toes in Iowa, then back to Minnesota. Anyways, we interrupted my nap (imagine my crankiness) to fill up with gas. Carole chidingly says, “If you weren’t so full of yourself, you’d see our need for gas….” I only wanted to reduce my beauty wrinkles – what’s wrong with that?
We fill up. One “tradition” we have is figuring out gas mileage after every guzzle. I break out the Carole’s Camper’s Log and calculate the damage. Wow! “We got 14 mpg!” I announce. Carole dubiously asks, “How’s that possible?” “We had a heck of a tail wind on the way here”.
Laughter and ridicule would best describe the response. I’m insulted! Of course our 20,000 lb behemoth could get 14 mpg with a tail wind, and sail, and coasting in neutral 50% of the time. Why not? I scour the Camper’s Journal for the missing entry. Oops.
8.6 mpg. Well…that’s better than the past 7 mpg. I still think the tailwind helped. Or maybe it was all my driving in neutral.
We still didn’t do the tick check. I guess they probably all checked out by now.

Wow, you almost saved $120 in gas with the misplacement of a little information. Maybe you shouldn't have remembered!!!!
Why do you have to check for ticks?
