16 Days and Counting . . .
Our day started off with good coffee from our daughter-in-law’s Christmas present, and then got even better.
About 12:30 Jan’s dentist called with a cancellation, so Jan will get her last appointment done tomorrow afternoon, instead of Feb. 16th. So this means we can push up our departure date from the 17th to the 9th. Which means we’ve got 16 days and counting before we leave.
Yayyyy!
The hitch itch is getting bad, believe me.
Later we left the rig about 1:45 to meet our friends Bob & Maria at King Food up in Webster, our favorite local Chinese place. As usual we sat around just talking for a good while. We’ve known Bob & Maria since the mid-80’s and always have fun together.
Finally leaving King Food, we stopped off at Brandi’s to drop off some clothes for Landon that Jan got at Kohl’s yesterday. BabyDaddy Lowell was already home working from there when we stopped by.
As we were heading home, Nick Russell called about a problem he was having with his slides and levelers. Sounded like to me that he was right in thinking that his hydraulic pump system was low on fluid. He said he’d checked the level with the levelers down and the slides out. I told him that on my PowerGear system, the levelers had to be retracted before you can check the fluid level. His HWH hydraulic system handles both his levelers and his slides. Our levelers are hydraulic, but our slide is all electric.
Passing thru Dickinson, we stopped at the Sonic Drive-In to pick Jan up a foot-long chili cheese coney to have later for supper, along with some Ched’R Poppers.
We got home a little before 5:30 and were really glad to be in out of the rain. It started raining yesterday evening, and has pretty much rained ever since. All this rain we’re having is certainly not helping me get all the outside jobs done on the RV. Hopefully it will dry up soon.
Nick called back a little after 6 saying that his fluid level was low, and that adding a quart of transmission fluid had fixed the problem. Glad he got it taken care of.
Speaking of Nick, he and Terry have been heading west, hoping to find warmer weather. But so far, it’s not working very well. A couple of nights ago in Livingston, TX, it was 42 degrees. Last night it was 29 degrees in Abilene.
Tonight in Sweetwater, they’re expecting a inch of snow.
What’s wrong with this picture, Nick?
