Short Extension

We've had some challenges the last couple days.  Not directly involving Jan and I, but close family.  Our son is going through some trials and tribulations, and is hopefully going to have good prospects ahead.
Another had a scare that turned out to be nothing.
Karen may soon be setting records in problems with motorhomes.  I mentioned she had her coach serviced and they found a leaking gasket that was causing the dripping under her coach.  Well, yesterday, I got looking and thought the puddle under her coach was too far back to be caused by some gasket.  I walk to the rear of her coach and first of all notice the entire rear cap and her tow bar is covered in oil.  I open up the engine cover and everything is awash in oil!  And right there in front of me is the cap for the oil fill sitting on top of a battery!  So it spewed oil all over the place all the way from the service facility to the campground!  She was tied up this morning so I drove it back down to have the gasket repaired and as I'm showing the service manger all the oil, we notice she has a leak in her coolant tank to add to the fun!  So now they are trying to find a new one that can be installed before she has to drive home.

We are really having a great time here with Nancy and CT, Viv and Karen.  We've been gathering at Nancy's house and having a nice relaxing time.  So much that we decided with all the other stuff going on we would extend one day to keep up with the festivities and issues.  It gives us a chance to see Viv some more as we won't see her for quite awhile once we leave.
