Slobbering . . .
We had our coffee and breakfast inside this morning, so we wouldn’t have to worry about being blown away. The wind picked up during night, prefacing the front coming through tomorrow, bringing 3 or 4 days of forecasted rain. But, as usual, we’ll see.
I spent the morning working on some internet stuff before heading outside to look for my slobber tube. But first I crawled back under the passenger side of the engine again to check for any more leakage around the oil pan drain plug.
I had wiped it off the other day to see if it was leaking around the plug, but found no new wetness. So I was out and back under on the other side to check out there. And after a quick look, it was obvious where it was.
Based on what I’d heard about the location I was expecting to find it hanging down a little further, but it’s actually above the oil pan gasket area.
And it was obvious from the surrounding wetness that it had been leaking.
So now, again based on what I’ve read about it, my next step is to come up with a way to hang a bottle or can under the slobber tube to catch the outflow. One, to contain the oil so it doesn’t end up on the toad, and two, to check that that is actually where the oil is coming from.
So hopefully, I’ll be able to come up with something before we leave here next Sunday.
While I was under there, I also noticed another oil leak, coming from the hydraulic line that feeds the engine cooling fan. So I’ll keep an eye on that too.
And also I was able to see the oil filter that had been changed out last February by RV Mobile Lube.
it’s nice to see that they sign and date them to keep track of them.
Finishing up, and coming back in to find Jan napping on the sofa, I decide that was a good idea too, so I headed back to the bedroom for my share of nap time.
When I got up I got back on my pantry organization project using Alexa on the Amazon Echo to record and print out the list as I sorted through the items and consolidated them on the various shelves.
By the time I got finished later tonight, it looked like this.

For dinner tonight we had the Chicken Tortilla Soup that I put together yesterday, and let simmer all day. Really good, if I do say so.
And Jan does too.
I’ve now done the magic six loads in my repaired washer, so hopefully, it’ll keep on working.
