On the Road Again
To borrow from Willy Nelson, yes folks, we are fixed, locked, loaded and on the road…..again.
The Mothership has been given a clean bill of health, so we loaded her up with fresh water, fresh tanks (black and grey). And it must be noted officially that our “foul smell de toilette” has been rectified finally! So with a freshly installed alternator, courtesy of our friends, Keith, Roger, Jeremy and the boyz at Woods Ford in Fredericton, we hit the ground running this morning, Saturday, September 13th at exactly 6:20am. Cross your fingers this one works!
In this ever changing run journey, we have to roll with whatever we are faced with and always say, “it could have been worse”. This time was no different and the timing was, again, perfect for other things which needed attention. We were bummed at having to be towed into Fredericton (almost 200km’s), but like always, we knew there was a bigger reason for the fire and the timing for it to show up. We all were in need of some sleep and a chance to set up our eastern events, as well as, our entry into America in just over 5 weeks.
After contemplating the lost miles, we remembered reading in Rick Hanson’s book about the fire they had in their RV and how Rick had to be pulled from the back of the burning bus and the subsequent miles which had to be driven as a result. Again we considered ourselves very lucky and knew that sometimes things just happen and all we can do is roll baby roll.
So Steph continued her marathon crackberry and computer sessions writing to our partners, event schools, and team so were well ahead of the game. Vanessa spent her time calculating our miles, routes and all the other 100 tasks she handles on a weekly basis. And I spent my time calling schools and media, making more friends with secretaries and front end gals for school events and interviews, as well as, setting up some of our 1st partner events in the US.
From highway #105 just east of Fredericton, New Brunswick, we say hi to all our family, friends and supporters and hope you’re all doing grrrrrreat!
V, Steph and Me 🙂
