I thought I&#8217;d be on my way to Kansas by now! My host is in absolutely no hurry to get rid of me (thank you!) and the weather up north is so iffy. I might as well hang out a few more days. I have to say that I really like Dallas. It just feels like a more accessible city driving-wise than did San Antonio. Then again, I&#8217;m not doing any driving here. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Today is an at home day working on projects. Ms. Cinnamon has a tentative field trip planned for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I had to call the bank holding my RV mortgage to make some changes to my account. In the past, such changes have had to be made in person at a branch, but then they started to accept signed faxes. Today, they accepted a scanned document sent by email! It&#8217;s so nice to see business practices finally moving into the 21st century. I had tried the fax route using a free &#8216;fax from your computer&#8217; service and the bank got the fax, but not the signature for some weird reason. I was able to use <a href=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/?p=15371\">my wonderful printer<\/a> to not only scan the signed document, but also email it.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, the address change I made last year didn&#8217;t stick, so they still had me living in Dawson City. The lady was delightfully confused about my Alberta mailing address and North Dakota telephone number. Ah, the life of a wandering nomad!<\/p>\n<p>I checked the balance on the loan and it is more than half paid, which makes sense since I&#8217;m at about the halfway mark in payments. It&#8217;s really exciting to finally be on the right side of the loan. If a worst case scenario happened, I&#8217;d now be able to get out of this loan and have enough left over for a decent down payment on another used rig. Not that I would want this to happen!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already Friday. I thought I&#8217;d be on my way to Kansas by now!
