Trouble and challenges

It was Wednesday morning, 29th October, 2013; it was another beautiful sunny day. I got up, fold the blanket, change my clothes, brush my teeth; got something to eat then I was on my way, at about 12:00 P.M, I say a sign welcoming me to West Virginia; it also said a welcoming station is a mile away. On my arrival, I drove into the Welcoming Station, use the wash room and, do a little work on the camper.

By this time I realized the wipers had stop working. I had no clue how to fix the wiper, so it was a good thing it was not raining. However, there was rain predicted for the next few days. It’s impossible and extremely unsafe to drive in the rain with none-functioning windshield wipers.

In my effort to repair the wipers I opened the front compartment of the RV, took out my trusted tester and I began to probe. I discovered that electricity was going to the windshield wipers motor, I tried bridging the wires to test the motor, but nothing worked. I was convinced that the wiper motor had failed.

I disconnected the wiper motor and disassembled it from its fix position on the front of the vehicle. After removing the motor I try powering up the motor but it did not respond. It seems like I have to replace the wiper motor. So I tied the other part of the windshield assembly together then I left the welcoming facility, but not before I got some important information as it relates to banking and transferring of money. It was particularly important that I access a money transfer facility in a hurry.

This was important to me because, the deadline to pay for my daughter: Jem's advance level examination was fast approaching. So I followed the instruction of the attendant at the welcoming facility, I took exit 23 into Falling Waters. While in Falling Waters I came upon a small shopping plaza with a large Supermarket. On inquiry, I discovered there was a remote Western Union operation. I did the transaction using the prescribed telephone then I paid the value to the cashier. I then contacted my daughter with the necessary information letting her know the money is on its way.

I was still on a proud high celebrating my daughter Alana’s accomplishment of receiving a national scholar’s award and scholarship. I also know Jem is a very determine young lady with the ability to follow in her sister's educational footsteps/path. I then left Falling Water West Virginia and stopped in Martinsburg.
