Today we started in Shreveport, LA when at 6:30am the co-pilot made it clear that he wanted to go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. We hung out for a bit can chatted with the park owners. We headed out at 8:30am to get gas and some Cracky. We got to Cracky and were seated where the co-pilot announced what he wanted for breakfast then left.
Our waitress stopped by and I ordered are food … about five minutes later the co-pilot returned. He had a few sips of his tea and got up and left again. Our food arrived so I began to eat. The co-pilot returned had two bits of his French Toast, choked and left again. I finished my breakfast got a to go box for his food and paid the bill. I looked around a bit for the co-pilot but could not locate him. I walked out to the RV and there he was standing next to it.
We headed out for our first stop of the day in Dallas, TX … 180 plus miles down the road. We got there and it was nothing special … co-pilot got 5 regular issues patches and that was all. We had another 130 miles to go to Wichita Falls, TX. We made our stop there a day early and the co-pilot loaded up on patches at this stop. He picked up around 25 patches in Wichita Falls.
We stayed at an RV park in Wichita Falls … a nice older park that was only $22.50 a night with full hookups, cable and internet. While hooking up the RV I had a little trouble with the cable. While I was figuring it out Walt the parks 80+ year old handy man stopped by and helped out. Walt was a talker and explained to me how cable tv works. His spin on it was instead of having an antenna locally there are 100 miles of cable attached to one big antenna. He failed to mention the satellites that are involved.
After everything was working to co-pilot was sitting on the couch … neglecting his chores. His job is to hand to privacy curtain in the cab when we stop. I took Chops for a walk and when we returned the co-pilot was still sitting on the couch … privacy curtain still not up. I watched two movies and when I went back out he had moved to the dinette and was eating cold mash taters and collar greens. I called it a night and went to bed.
