Not Much To Report

Pretty much a waiting game here right now.  We haven't gotten the call yet saying our captain's chairs are done, still haven't gotten the switch pad back either.  So we haven't washed the rig yet cause it is so much easier if you pull in the slides, but we can't do that without the switch panel.   

But we haven't just been sitting on our laurels either.  After Jan had her crown put in while in Atlanta, she has had just a bit of discomfort, and found that when she flossed she thinks it is moving slightly, I agree peering down her throat with a flashlight.  We thought no big deal, we can get it taken care of in March when we get back to Atlanta.  NO!  Our dentist who Jan had contacted gave her a call back and said it would be necessary to have it looked at either here or there to determine what was what, if the implant itself is loose there is a chance an infection could get down in the bone, so.........we are making a road trip.  

A couple years ago, on one of our Oregon trips, Scott at Amazing Creations made a cat drawer for us.  We put Bert's food and litter box in there, he made it so Bert could go in and out, but also made up a panel that we could attach to it after Bert went to cat heaven.  It has taken a bit of time to deal with this project, but we got it done.

We have a slight hesitation starting our coach's engine now and then, very intermittent, and usually when it has been running for awhile, shut off, then restarted like we do when we pull into a campsite.  I mentioned it to Detroit Diesel when we had it in, and the service manager suggested it might be the starter solenoid, easy to install and cheap and if it were him he would try that first.  So I ordered one and we put it in, simple job.

It resides on our rear run panel near the engine

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to have solved our problem as the first start had a little hesitation.  So at some point we will either wait for our starter to die or maybe next year when we have our engine serviced we'll swap out the starter.  

We are still working on our black tank, the sensor is reading a little better, down to a low of 64%.  We keep flushing and flushing and have been adding a strong enzyme treatment to try to eat away at the scum inside the tank.  I don't expect total success until we can get moving again when we leave Florida to really slosh the tank clean.

And I'll leave you with our visit from Mad Max who arrived at the hardware store while I was there:-)

Hopefully I will have a lot more to report in the next post.
