Yes it is true, we made it, everything, truck, all the tires, DaGirsl Rv, puppies.
We were up and out by 0700 and heading to Boerne to Boerne RV, where we had an appointment to inspect the Atwood Levelers system.
My goal, get an authorized service center to agree the system was bad and arrange funding go to a new system. After spending 15 minutes talking with Ron, he agreed with my assessment. So, hopefully within a week or 2 we will have a new system covered in part by our extended warranty.
Distance traveled on Friday was around 50 miles from Boerne to Fredericksburg. We, parked in a temporary site, until our site was vacant. Once we did a temporary setup, Boerne to the collision center. We spent over an hour waiting while the farm truck was inspected.
Final estimate ? $9500, current damage, with following open items:
tires, cause of check engine light and any hidden damage behind the grille, bumper and front end.
We are headed to recovery due to the 2 laughable incidents; Because what else can you do. We have our health, Dakota and Tilly are good, our friends are with us by phone and other tech means.
So, what were we up to in the last day or 2 ?
Off to Comfort, Tx.

Comfort was established in 1854 by German immigrants, who were Freethinkers and abolitionists.[5] Ernst Hermann Altgelt, at the age of twenty-two, is credited with surveying and measuring the lots that would later be sold to the incoming German immigrants. He stayed and married Emma (Murck) Altgelt, and they raised their nine children in the township of Comfort. Fritz and Betty Holekamp built the first house in Comfort having started construction before Comfort's official founding on September 3, 1854. The first churches were not established in Comfort until 1900. After some controversy, a cenotaph honoring "the Founding Freethinkers" was dedicated on November 2, 2002.
The downtown area is possibly one of the most well-preserved historic business districts in Texas. There are well over 100 structures in the area dating back to the 19th century, and seven of them were designed by the noted architect Alfred Giles. Mr. Giles lived in San Antonio, and he would ride horses, the stagecoach, and later the train to check his building sites in Comfort. Most of the population today is composed of descendants of those original pioneer families of the 1850s and the 1860s.
Comfort is also known for a tragic event that took place during the American Civil War. The Treue der Union Monument ("Loyalty to the Union") was dedicated in honor of thirty-five men who died at the Battle of the Nueces, which took place because they opposed the state's secession from the Union. The German settlers were killed on their way to Mexico during the Civil War. They were attacked by Confederate forces near Brackettville on August 10, 1862. The bodies were not buried and the bones were retrieved and placed here in 1865. The monument was erected in 1866.
In 1918, Albert Steves erected a Hygieostatic Bat Roost on his family farm in Comfort. This roost was built to attract bats in an effort to control mosquito populations by natural means. It was originally researched and developed by Dr. Charles Agustus Rosenheimer Campbell of San Antonio. The idea was to use bats against malaria carrying mosquitos. At one time, there were sixteen bat roosts built in the United States and Europe, of which only two sites now remain — one in Comfort and one in the Florida Keys.
We enjoyed our walk to the visitor center, a great cup of coffee at the " The Lobby Coffee Shop ". The real business is the "Rescue Dog Coffee Company", where part of the proceeds go to rescue dogs. So, who couldn't resist the urge to buy coffee and a few items.
