We’ve had a problem adjusting to the time change. Normally I’m up at 7 AM, but now it is still dark at 7AM. So for several days I’ve been waking to the cheerful voice of our caravan leader saying, “Good morning, this is Gracie…”
This wake-up call comes from a very old technology. We find it handy to have a CB radio both in our truck and in the trailer. The truck CB of course is for communicating with our caravan mates on the road. The trailer CB is less critical but is great for communications within the camp. Many leaders like to hold drivers meetings by CB if the weather is bad – nobody need get wet.
Al and Gracie like to give 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM schedule updates and reminders by CB. We leave the trailer CB on 24 hours a day, tuned so we don’t hear truckers; otherwise we will forget to turn it on and miss the updates.
So previously we were up and around by the time of her 8:00 AM broadcast; lately we have been half-asleep when she comes on the air. And good morning to you, too, Gracie.
I’ll miss that pleasant morning wake-up.
