     Well, Helloooo There!
     When we were out last weekend with the mobile WAYWARD INN, I discovered that one of the bench seats was literally coming apart at the seams. Was it from rough housing? Or someone's unruly Yard Ape jumping on the seat? Not a chance!

     Shoddy workmanship! I know that our towing vehicle looks as if it needs to be watered so it could grow up to be a full sized Ford. But, I assure you that it can legally tow this trailer. The trailer itself is maybe eight years old and I have been noticing some things that are getting worn out or need to be replaced a long time before the should have to be. The reason is that I continually consult with the Sages about things. They have trailered to Alaska and back twice. In fact, they couldn't make our wedding because they had booked a non-refundable ferry to Alaska. It wasn't their fault life just happens.

     The Wisdom of the Sages: Given that the mobile WAYWARD INN is a "lite" trailer it is built using more retention strips, glue and staples than proper bracing and screws. Its a case of "every ounce counts" in order to get under some official weight classification to be a "lite trailer". And another thing, many people don't keep the same travel trailer for more than five years. The family dynamic is fluid and as it changes the requirements for an RV also changes. Bigger, smaller or not at all. So a "lite" RV is almost planned obsolescence. Make it last until it is traded in then the RV dealer can spruce it up and re-sell it.

     Anyone seen the new hospital building lately? That is going to be a big place. I don't know if the contractors are ahead of the curve yet. Doubtful. I do question the lack of parking though. Again, if I had the shekels I would buy the empty lot across the road and put in a three storey pay parking lot with a covered overhead walkway right over Veteran's Memorial Parkway.

     Ha!
     I fixed it. That shoddy bench seat in the mobile WAYWARD INN has been re-manufactured. It took a bit of engineering but it will be the last thing that falls apart on this unit. Now I'll just have to wait until the next thing goes kaput.

     We have heard some news through the grapevine.  It would seem that my BETTER HALF's Cuz'n in River City has been surprised with the wedding of one of their daughters. They have three girls and each are very different from each other. And they live at different ends of the earth. The lucky bride to be is a Sous on the very exclusive SS Moneybags. Rest assured that she is secure in her job because she's marrying the Chef of SS Moneybags. Congrats from us at the WAYWARD INN.
