When I look back upon my life
and the many things that I have done
mostly on the better side
but here and there a stupid one
I would like to say that I am not dumb
and have a brain that can think
but now and then just for fun
it goes to sleep in a wink
and crazy things happen then
resulting from my non thinking brain
making poor decisions who knows when
and my life is forever changed
at the time that this happens again
it was a good plan all the same
but the end results in things gone wrong
generally resulting in a claim
that cost money, time and prolongs
how long we stay in one place
and I am the one that pays the price
the end results in losing face
waiting to see what is my choice
is it something very profound
or just as simple as pay the fee
for whatever my misdeeds abound
there is always a something else to see
hoping that good sense will be found.
as life is still a mystery
as the world spins slowly around.

Yep, your brain had definitely taken a little nap when you decided to back the RV up instead of disconnecting the jeep. It’s amazing how far-reaching the consequences of just those few seconds can be.
I had already disconnected and reconnected the Jeep 4 times already that day due to road works and such and I thought I could get away with just a tiny back up. Wrong.
I remember. A decision made in minutes and repercussions that lasted for months.
Hang in there. You got this.
Well, I finally moved out of the other campground today and now on the way back to Henly with a couple of stops along the way. Currently in Harrison, AR for just a couple of days.
Yay!!!! it’s not exactly warm here but it’s certainly going to be better than Arkansas.
