And off we go

Tomorrow is the end of out 17 gay trip. We added a night in Lee Vining California. We had a tire separate in Kanab Utah. Luckily one of the teo tire shops within 100 miles had a D rated tire we installed a s a spare. I have over 17,000 miles on these tires this year. The next day the shower pan cracked. Luckily I had some Eternabond tape on board to patch it until I order and install a new one. It's held up good for almost two weeks. Then the third problem....the upper radiator hose on my 2000 F350 was sliced by my serpentine belt. Someone had installed the wrong hose. I never noticed just how close that hose was to that belt. That happened in Page Arizona....no man's land. Again, luck struck. An Autozone had ONE hose left. $38 later, we were off again.

My wife and the two 15# mutts are pretty anxious about tomorrow. King size bed vs this short queen. 3,000 sqft house vs a 27' 5th wheel. And, best of all for my wife.... a real shower to wash her hair. Me? I could go either way.
