Magic Smoke and Hooters…
Jan and I slept late this morning. It was the first time in about a week or so that we didn’t have something to do early in the morning.
I fixed coffee and we set around and just enjoyed life. Then about 11 Jan heated up the last of the Da Boyz pizza leftover from Yuma. I think it was even better than it was originally.
About 11:30 Nick called and said the new motor should be here at any time. And he was right. Seven minutes later he called back and said it was here.
A little while later I headed over to install the new motor. Jan decided to stay home since she was immersed in catching up on the laundry.
The motor was a real pain in the butt to install. It was obvious that the motor had originally been installed from the top before the floor was laid down. And the fact that that I was having to hold the heavy motor over my head didn’t help either. But finally, after a couple of hours, it was installed and checked out.
Now for the smoke test, as in, if the magic smoke gets out, it doesn’t work anymore.
But luckily, no smoke was seen, the jacks went down, the slides went out, and all was right with the world.
After cleaning up a bit, I drove back to our rig to pick up Jan and then went back to pick up Nick and Terry for a trip to Hooters. Nick and Terry had never been and wanted to check it out.
It turns out that this Hooters was actually in a casino. I don’t know if that affected their menu, but it was different from the ones in Texas we frequent. They had no wings hotter than 911, and did not have the Honey BBQ, Cajun Spice, or Garlic Flavored like we have found in other Hooters. But what we had was pretty good so all was not lost.
Leaving Hooters, we stopped off at an AutoZone to pick up some fuses and fuse holders to wire up a charge line for his toad.
After that, we decided to call it a day and head home, as we have a full day planned tomorrow.
More then…
