We traveled to Tuscola, IL on Oct 20th to visit relatives . We pulled into my cousins (Darrell and Lori Ford) driveway to stay for a few days. Denny started hooking us up to power and water and discovered WE HAVE NO ELECTRICITY in the Monster. We had electricity in Peoria that morning, no problem. Denny has been working on it for 2 days with no luck. As you all know, he is a very handy guy and can usually fix anything. The one good thing about it is that we are at Darrell's. He knows who to call for help and where to go. Denny is very frustrated, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and pay someone to get it done. Amazingly, there is an RV place in Farina, a very small town close to Kinmundy, our destination. Never thought that there would be an RV place in such a small town. He is trying a couple more things and will call to make an apportionment. He talked to the technician and he thought he could fix it. Hope so. We have never had anything major go wrong with the RV since we started our snowbird trips. We will probably go to Farina tomorrow and be able to stay at the family farm while the Monster gets worked on. Wish us luck!
Now to the Denny is legal part. Before we left, we tried to get things done ahead of time that were due while we were gone. Thought we had everything covered. Denny's birthday was Oct. 8th. I was talking to Nicole, our next door neighbor who is getting our mail and asked her if anything looked important. She said there was something from the licensing bureau, did Denny need to renew his license. OH NO! Sure enough, Denny needed to renew and it was on his birthday we discovered this, What to do ? I called the WA licensing in Olympia. We had to download a form, fill it out and include $5.00. It is for a 12 month extension. They would email us the form that shows he is okay for another year. Until we got it back in the email, he was driving without a current license. Came in 10 days, which isn't really long for a gov. agency, but it seemed like it took forever. Everyday Denny would ask if it came yet. Finally came and he is now legal. He has to carry the paper with his license. He has 60 days from the time we return to get a new one. We at first panicked on what to do.
