I feel like Jack Benny. Life is a dialogue with Rochester.
Things are progressing to a March 7th departure. The Fifth Wheel has new tires and the truck got a thorough check up at the local diesel shop. I wish I could find a shop like this in every town. These guys can “use the force” when they are under the hood. If we are back here next year with the same rig, I might give it to them for the complete makeover. They remove a bunch of hardware and boost the milage considerably. Dodge would not be thrilled, something about voiding the warranty, but with $5 diesel around the corner..........
We’re having Molly and Spencer overnight tomorrow. That should be fun, hopefully for all. We have been slowly assembling a giant playhouse/swing set at the Soden’s. It has finally grown enough in the carport that we will have to move it to it’s final resting place in the back yard to progress much further. I’ll see about some pics soon.
Getting warmer, time to move on. We’ll be moving west along I 10, then up to Death Valley by March 20th. Should be plenty warm there. I’ll feel better when we get back into Oregon in April.
Stay well.
