Monday .....September 8th....2008

We're on the road with a few problems.....our refrigerator quit....coming up the hot dry highway in California....come to find out a heat switch was the culprit as the installer at the factory had used "duct tape" instead of a heat tape...and while using propane to run the refrigerator, a heat switch cut it off because of the duct tape overheating..shame on them!...anyway who knows who will ultimately pay!

We also have a jack on the RV which malfunctioned because the RV site we stayed was not level and the automatic jacks tried their best and then blew a seal.....it is being fixed now....we hardly know the difference as the RV is sitting pretty flat now....who knows who pays for that...oh well!

The following pictures are of our recent visit to Ventura, California a few days ago...We saw friends Mark and Kathy who used to be our neighbors at the NASCAR track in Fontana...they took us out to a great dinner (I had stuffed roasted Pasilla chilis...great! great! great!). Linda's dear friend Mary, who lives in Oak Park, was able to visit and have dinner..

What would life be without a few "challenges?" We are going through a few "this old house" moments, too. The exception is that our house IS old. We are having a chunk of our kitchen floor tested for asbestos. The installers had to halt the floor removal until we get the results. John is into demolition in the other rooms...removing carpeting and tacking. We sold some furniture and have the rest stored downstairs. See what fun you are missing by taking your dwelling on the road! I think I will go for a bike ride. Too much chaos around here for me.
Happy trails.

Looks like you are having a wonderful time in spite of the detours.
