DAY 10: It Was A No Good, Very Bad Day for Chuck......

DAY 10:  Colorado Springs, CO
TEMP:  88 Degrees

Today was a  

NO GOOD, 

VERY BAD DAY 

for 

CHUCK

It actually started out looking to be a good day for him........afterall, his Body Healer from yesterday came back this morning and performed some more "healing" on him......

But then everything quickly went downhill......

He lost the key to his portable scooter......the one thing that gives him mobility most every where we go.  This was right before we were scheduled to move out of our favorite RV park, Pikes Peak RV Park, and head on over to another town.  We looked EVERYWHERE for that key.  Couldn't find it to save our life!  I finally quit trying to find this on our own and shot a quick prayer up to the only One who knew where that key was.......WHALAA!!  Within 5 minutes, I found the key laying on the ground behind the motorcyle.  Coincidence?  I don't think soooooooo.............  As you can tell by the photo, it was near impossible to see on the ground.

And then..........the worst part of his day happened.  As he was pulling the motorcycle trailer with the trike from the overflow parking to our awaiting RV, he "mowed" down the RV park's mailbox.  It was seriously one of those "slow motion" moments.......Here I was in the drivers seat of the RV, watching Chuck come closer on the trike with the motorcycle trailer following close behind....he has a great big smile on his face as he's watching us watch him, when BAMMM......the trailer (which is wider than the trike) literally drove right up and over a huge mailbox on a post.  He stopped for a moment as the trailer was sitting on top of the downed mailbox with that stumped look on his face; trailer now lopsided to the left, and then he just proceeded on.......That's when I ever-so-slowly got out of the motorhome with my phone and started taking pictures.  As everyone ran out of the office to see what all the noise was about, they reminded me at least I didn't have to find something to Blog about tonight!

Now, you may recall he tripped over the flower pot at this same RV park earlier this week and we just got that replaced yesterday; tomorrow we'll be paying for a new mailbox and post......Now I know you think I'm picking on poor Charlie.......and I guess I kinda am......but it's with his blessing and his wonderful sense of humor that he allows me to tell you these things.  We laughed so hard we cried as we, Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, headed out to see what damage we could cause at the next RV park......
