Well it is cloudy day...and one panic already and I told DH just to not worry about it. On his way home from work he was going to stop at the storage unit. To pickup the large Gatorade water cooler we have...to have at the family reunion, after all there will be about 40 people there. The keys are not in their usual spot. So as he was digging around the house. I told him not to worry about it. We could just take the two smaller ones. I guess we will worry about those keys after we get back. He thinks they might be in the trailer. I will find out when I head down there to start loading.
I feel somewhat behind...as we had not anticipated the truck being in the shop for 3 days. We thought it was just one day..oil change and brakes. But they discovered a few other issues, while it was there. At least all is fixed and it is better to have it discovered and fixed on this end...then somewhere out on the road. 2 of the items were covered under warranty, as they were starting to fail and yet had just been replaced about 10 months ago. So there was no charge for that, as the mechanic covered it, under their parts warranty. DS car will hopefully be looked at today. We think it is the O2 sensor, or fuel filter issue. Either way...our mechanic will get it fixed and then give DS a call and they will let him have his car and we will pay them when we get back from the trip. I really love the shop we go to. A bunch of honest great guys. In fact, the one time I was out of town and power steering pump failed. I called our shop, to ask about it. Then they did some checking and found a shop for me to take it to.
So not sure when I will get a chance to post again. Not sure how the wi-fi will work at some campgrounds...we will have broadband card also, but it is limited usage.
We head out tonight to Ellensburg the to Boise, ID (pick up my teenage nephew)..then on Saturday we head out toward Utah...Bryce and Zion Canyons. Then on to the family reunion in AZ next Thursday...spend the weekend in AZ and then on Monday head to the South Rim Grand Canyon then Las Vegas, then back up to Boise for 4th of July Weekend. Then finally back home.
One of the older boys will be here, and two of our friends are house sitting. We did not kennel the dogs..it would have been $$$$$$$$$$$$. So we figured that since DS would still be here...he has a few days of work/training at the Boy Scout camp. Then he officially starts July 5th. (We rtn July6th). The only think my friend is worried about is the dogs, she hopes they do not take off. Now normally 98% of the time they do not. Raider is great about coming right back if you call him. Roxy can sometimes take off...but 99% of time she will come back. If she does it usually means Daisy (the dog across the street) is out. I want this to be a restful time for our friends, a time to enjoy the space of a house. (they fulltime in a motorhome).
Well I better get off...got a zillion things to get done.
