We ordered the scooter!

Posted by JacQ

Yes, we are moving real fast!

Today we ordered our scooter. It is the 2007 Boreem Motor Sports Pinnacle 150cc Scooter. Unfortunately, the manufacturer’s web site did not have all the right spec and numbers for the scooter. So I have pulled together some info from various sources.

As you can see, the green is totally Jacq Design color~ (^_^) I know, I am such a geek~

Can’t wait for it to get here. But, I don’t have a motorcycle license, Jeremy will be the one driving and I will be riding along till I take the test and all that jazz.

With the fuel efficiency up to 80 mpg, I can’t think of any better way to travel around town that is good for the environment and save money on gas~

The Fifth Wheel is in the shop for repair

Posted by JacQ

We had a little accident on the way back to Texas…

As we were approaching Texas, there was a little town that we were trying to get the gas tank filled up… Narrow streets, heavy traffic made the task a little harder to handle. We pulled out of the gas station parking lot too tight and scraped the right side of the Fifth Wheel with a telephone pole.

I started calling RV repair places in San Antonio and quickly found out with the holidays, it was almost impossible to get a shop to fix it in time for us to go to Miami in the RV.

As we were approaching Dallas, I started calling a couple of RV repair shops there to see if someone will be willing to take care of it.

Sandi from Metro RV Service, Inc. was the best person I had talked to compared to other shops, so I have decided to take the RV to them. She was not pushy and really sounded like she understood the situation and cared about what she can do to help us.

So we left the RV with her and will be picking it up after a month or so.

I think Jeremy still did a wonderful job getting us that far as a first time driver of a big truck pulling a 35′-long Fifth Wheel. If I was driving, we probably wouldn’t have made it out of Ohio~
