More updates

The awning is now fixed with a new lever that allows it to open (and stay open) and close. Both the front cabover window and the rear kitchen window have new rain gutters and have been caulked. The big thing left to do is the sealing the roof. However, that will have to wait until Chuck has recovered from his cataract surgery, to take place tomorrow morning.

The black tank is leaking again (brown icicles in the morning--ick), so it looks like a new tank is in order. Chuck knows a guy here in town who made a tank for one of his RVs -- not as "pretty" as the regular ones but about 1/4 the cost. So we'll be tracking him down.

Went to Show Low Monday for Chuck's dermatology appointment (he's got some weird rash), and had a nice lunch at a fancy Mexican restaurant. Returned the fluorescent lights I'd gotten the last time at Home Depot -- realized they weren't 12v so not suited to the RV. Went on ebay and found a set of 4 nice-looking lights for about what one 12v light sells for retail. Any I don't use, Chuck will buy from me.

Going to Show Low is always an all-day excursion. First, it's 100 miles roundtrip, a lovely drive through the piney woods. Second, lots of errands to do while there, so even though it's not very big, there's a lot of drive here, park, do business, drive there, park, do business, drive to next place, etc etc.

Wifi has been acting up the last few days. No connection till about 10pm. Odd.

Am looking forward to getting on the road about Dec 1 and heading for California, though I'm not sure yet exactly where I'll wind up, except it'll be within 150 miles of San Francisco.
