Bay Doors and Waste Valves . . .

As is pretty normal, Jan had one of her ‘rebound’ 2nd day migraines, not as bad as the first one yesterday, but still not fun.

A little after 11am I called American Coach with some questions on several projects I’ve got in work on our coach, and as usual, they came thru with great info.

Then Nick Russell called a few minutes later to talk about finishing up our battery checks from yesterday. Since we picked up some distilled water last night, we’re good to go today.

The latest news on my dented bay door is not good. The fairgrounds and the landscapers are pretty much denying that they did it.

But it was not there last Wednesday when we moved from site 407 to site 404 to get a 50 amp hookup. We haven’t moved since, and no one else has been back there, except them.

And since I just changed from Progressive Insurance to GMAC I really hate to file a claim less than two weeks after I got my new policy.

Still deciding what to do.

After lunch Nick and I got back to work on checking our battery’s water level. Nick has been dissatisfied with the capacity of the 3 12volt Interstate Batteries he installed after he got the new coach. So we checked water level, connections, etc.

Then next we look at a starting problem with his Onan generator, but of course today when we were looking at it, it started fine. So we’ll have to keep an eye on it to see if the problem returns.

About 4:15 pm Jan and I headed in Tucson to meet Nick and Terry, and Nick’s cousin Beverly at Poco & Mom’s, a very small, very delicous Mexican restaurant that we were introduced to last year by our friends Al & Adrienne.

Poco & Mom’s does wonderful things with Green Hatch chilies, and we always eat here when we’re in Tucson.

Coming home, we detoured over to Camping World to pick up new black tank waste valves for both Nick and I.

Valterra ValveWe both have valves that leak slightly and want to replace them. I suspect mine may just have something stuck in the gate, but since I have to remove it anyway, I figure I might as well just replace it instead of cleaning it.

Mine looks to be pretty easy to remove and replace, but Nick’s may be more problematic.

We’ll see.

I got an email this afternoon that the paperwork for my Thousand Trails membership is in the mail and hopefully will be here Monday. Don’t yet know how long it will take to get everything wrapped up.

That’s about it for today. Hopefully Jan will be feeling better tomorrow, since Al & Adrienne are coming over tomorrow morning to check out Nick & Terry’s computer desk.

More tomorrow . . .
