Traveler's comfort zones?

     I am on the road to my story about the "wild man of Catemaco", but I have a moment to digress to talk about my travel partner.  We have been together for 33, going on 34 years.  A second marriage with no children of our own....5 between us.  We both soon discovered that we have a gypsy spirit between us.  We owned 17 houses before we realized that maybe home ownership wasn't what we really wanted.  So, in 2005, we sold our 18th house and bought a fifth wheel.  Thus began the story of the fulltimer's.  During the next four years, we owned three more fifth wheels and one motor home.  The Motor home was the vehicle that was used for our trip to MX.

     My beloved is not driven to have the cleanest RV in town and only fixes things when they cause us not to move on down the road.  The brakes were the first sign of a bit of paranoia about the state of the RV.  There were many more to come.

     After the brakes, it became apparent that we might need the revive the generator on the RV and it just simply refused to start.  We are still in Lake Catemaco and here comes a nice fellow who is going to help with the generator.  He and his partner ( the young woman who met the wild man in the jungle) are now our new best friends and he is attempting the fix the stubborn generator or at least give my beloved good advice.  The oil is drained and the controller arm is adjusted.  Luckily,  our new friend has the same kind of Rig, albiet a big shorter.  The generator is running, a bit rough, and we are set for a trip to town with our new friends.  More to Come
