Today's trip was filled with the unexpected.
The best: a bald eagle flew across the road in front of us just east of St. Clair, MO.
The unexpected: we stopped in St. James Mo for lunch at Diana's Diner, where we have parked and dined several times. Today we parked in the large public parking lot, walked to the diner, found it was closed. We went back to the motor home, leaving through the same alley we have driven through every time we have stopped there.
But wait, this time it was different. There was a low-hanging cable line hanging across the alley. Yes, it caught on the top of the motor home. After a quick stop, Glen climbed to the roof to discover the line had jerked the air horn loose. Thankfully it wasn't the satellite dish or air conditioner or vents.
Glen had enough wires and tools and caulk to stabilize the air horn, and make it waterproof.
Waterproofing was necessary. As soon as we arrived at the Osage Beach RV Park around 4 p.m. the weather radio started broadcasting a litany of thunderstorm watches and warnings, tornado watches and warnings, flash flood warnings and possible damaging winds and hail.
There has been no damage in this area, but there has been lots of rain and thunder and lightning.
We are certainly enjoying having cell service as well as Internet. It is strange to come "home" and not go to my mother's.
