Not So Fast, Missy

Yesterday's exuberant post about how we were going CAAAAMPING in OCTOOOOOBER may have been premature. (Cue sad trombone music.)

In addition to my breakfast dishes that are not yet in the dishwasher, this photo shows just a few of the camper parts we discovered last night have suffered from three years of outdoor storage. These parts are indispensable to the water and electricity systems. Oh, also to the propane. These gizmos are crucial to our ability to read at night, make coffee, watch the movies we've checked out of the library, or wake up toasty warm after the furnace kicks on.

In other words, without replacing these parts our camping trip would be almost like...well, camping.

Eeeewwwwwww.

I'm making an emergency run to the camper repair place today. Stay tuned for updates.
