May 4 – Thursday

Brrrr!! It is still cold! Packing the van again for trip to West Chester by Cincinnati, OH. Camping (boondocking) at a shooting range. Learning about gun safety with a mix of girls. We will celebrate Cinco De Mayo and the Kentucky Derby. Should be a hoot.

Filled up the van and packed the water, food, and new air compressor for the tires. My old compressor just went in the cigarette lighter. You start the engine of the truck, and it will fill up the tires. It was on the countertop in the van, and I walked by it and bumped it, and it fell on the floor, and now it’s just hums and shuts off. It will probably be good for blowing up a beach ball.

Old one

So I ordered a new one. That’s supposed to be more powerful in this one clamps onto. the battery of the van. I opened the hood and found where the big red plus sign positive was, and way back behind the hinge is a rubber backed screw that said negative. So I took the rubber protector off and hooked it up and plug the cigarette lighter plug into the adapter start the engine and it filled up all 4 tires. So I am a happy camper.

New air compressor

They’re paving our road. I hope I can get out in the morning.

Happy trails.
