We are attempting to create a "blog". I'm still not sure just how to do all of this stuff but I'm going to give it a try.
We are currently in Palm Springs (CA) and will be going to Phoenix in the morning. We were at our daughter Karen's house for the last couple of weeks. We were there in Mission Viejo because Joanne had "jury duty". She had to go in for just one day and then was released. Also, while we were there, we needed to get some repairs done to our rig. We had developed a hydraulic leak again (different place than last time) and I discovered that when our 'gray' water holding tank would get full, it would leak into one of our storage compartments. Well, the hydraulic leak was apparently no big deal, they just tightened the fitting (so they say) (we will see.....). As for the gray water tank, they had to drop the tank and they found a broken fitting. They repaired the fitting and we are back in business. Of course, while we were at Joanne's old work (Santa Margarita Ford), we were actually over at their "fleet center" (which is different then the dealership), to have them look at the hydraulic leak and of course, while I was showing the mechanic the problem, their parts truck backed into our rig. I went to the back to see what happened, and the guy sez, "I backed into your tow bar, I don't think it hurt anything". I looked at the tow bar and it looked OK, so I waved him on. The next day I was behind the rig looking at something, and WOW!!!!! The guy had hit my bumper (not the tow bar) and I was too dumb to check everything out at the time. So....Joanne jumped in our little Kia, and hot footed it over to the dealership and told them what had happened. Well, to make a short story of it (I know, I'm too late for that)....they agreed to fix it. So we had to get estimates for that repair (and we are still trying to get the damage fixed from when we were in Las Vegas and the ol' lady with the maintenance cart ran into us. So now we have two "damage" repairs to get done. We are going to meet up with our good friends, Bob and Carole Tripp, in Phoenix. We are all going to an Angles pre-season baseball game. Then.....we are going to caravan around the Southwest (AZ, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado) for awhile (6 weeks or so)
Well, I guess this is a start........
I'll try to add more soon.....
