 Last Day of September.  Steve was up early and off with the truck to the repair shop.  He was back before 10. Worse case scenario another 8,000 dollars.  Of course it turned out to be the worse case senario.  So we signed on here for at least a week more. We thought we were going to have to move and Jeff from Murphy's was willing to come help us move the trailer but at the last minute they told us we would not have to move.  We unloaded the bike and made toom in the back for Steve. Changed all our medical appointments and started to enjoy our stay.  The weather is moderate.  We have the bike so Steve can get a few groceries.   Jeff offered to take me shopping.  Thought that was nice. So we hung out here. Took walks with the dogs. Sat outside.  It has been very pleasant.

 Another road trip from hell.  We left Coarsegold about 7:30.  Earlier than we planned. Thanks to Mr Rush budget .  We got to the beginning of the climb to cross the Tehachapi's and decided to sit and take a potty break and rest the truck. we no soon started the climb and realized the thermostat wasn't the cure for our problems.  We we stopped again.  The sat and cooled down.  The about 20 miles west of Tehachapi we were over heated again.  We sat there about 4.5  hours.  We had to call roadside service and wait for a truck to pull the rig so we could get the truck to the campsite in Tehachapi.  I sat in the sun and broiled for 4 and half hours.  Read, did puzzles until we were rescued.  Steve ran the battery on the truck down talking thru the truck in the phone . Had to have jump to get going again. Fortunately Steve had cables.   Finally the truck came to tow us to the park.   We got set up and neither is felt like eating a big meal.  This is incredibly the worse time we have had this much trouble.  Sad to leave our site in Park Sierra.

 This is our last night as Park Sierra members.  It is bitter sweet.  Steve let me sleep until 7:30.  I fixed breakfast sandwiches. Then at 10 we met the Ely's  in the Club house. We chatted for about 2 hours . Came home I defrosted the fridge . The Steve dumped.  We are ready to head out tomorrow.   Pray that the truck behaves.  Pot pies for dinner. Stitching the latter part of the day.

 This was not a quiet day. We got up early.  We were out the door  We had a 10 am toe appointment.  Not real happy but it is done.  The a quick stop at the quilt store. Von's for food.  Cash machine and gas.  Then home for BBQ  brats.  Then over to the laundromat with 5 loads of laundry.   Took me until 4:30.  The we BBQ'ed hot dogs and Steve had one of each.  Stitching was difficult and I have some frogging to do.  3cdays till we are back to real life.

 We were up early, thank you Steve McCrumb.  He was out the door about 10 after 8.  I got up and dressed and took a walk. Yeah for me.  I watched TV what I wanted.  They replaced the thermostat and hopefully that will take care of the problem.  He was home about 12:30.  Dogs were happy.  We went down to the office and turned in our leaving papers.  Boo hook.  Then despite Steve bringing home 4 pot pies we had shrimp for dinner.  TV  and stitching for the rest of the night.
