Well we finally got on the road about 3:00 yesterday afternoon with the plan to drive till we got tired as we were going to boondock (read free) for the night.
Well we went up one steep hill and the home started struggling. Once going down hill it went just fine. Another steep hill and it chugged and sputtered. Then we got on I90 and headed up the pass to Snoqualmie and it just didn't want to climb so we made the decision to stop at our mechanics for the night, as he was closed when we got here at 6:15 p.m. and let him take a gander at it in the morning.
Well it is now 11:15 and he hasn't had a chance to look at it yet, though he thinks it is the fuel filter or something electronic in the back by the fuel pump. Ron is dealing with him.
As some of you know I started getting sick on Sunday and woke up Monday with a full blown cold so have tried to rest between things. Since we had no power and I ran the battery down on the computer and mifi I went to bed about 7:00 p.m. last night and slept till 9:30 this morning. Though I did get up with Ron at 7;15, got dressed and crawled back under the covers. That was so in case they were working on the motor home when I woke up I would not be embarrassed to be half dressed or half naked, whichever way you looked at it. I did go back to sleep till 9;30.
Came into the mechanics office about 10;00 and got myself plugged in, charging the battery to the computer and the mifi and have been here ever since
Hope they get things figured out soon. Our first goal/time line is to be in Lewiston, ID by 3:00 p.m. tomorrow so Ron can go to Brandon's basketball game. If I am still not feeling well I will hang out in the motor home and get more rest so I have the weekend with the grands. Need to get those hugs.
That's all from this spot on the map for now. I have thought about opening a fund "donate to the Wandering Workentins' so they can get to Hondo, TX to actually start making some moolah"
