And another delay
Susan and I had planned a two-day trip to (finally) get us to Tombstone. We made our first stop at a place where we’d stayed before, in Wickenburg, Arizona. As it happened, however, while backing into the assigned space, I rolled down the driver’s-side window to check my alignment …
… and it wouldn’t go up again. The window motor was still in operation, but the window itself wouldn’t move. I covered the window (with a towel the first night, then subsequently taped a garbage bag over it) to keep out the cold while we were parked, but I wasn’t about to try and drive several hours down Interstate highways with the window stuck open. The regulator for the window drive had to be special-ordered, and the mechanic told me he wouldn’t be able to get me in until next Wednesday. Susan and I had contentedly stayed a week in Wickenburg before, so it was just a matter of extending our plans.
It’s beginning to get a bit comical, though. We started off in November with the specific plan of spending the winter in Tombstone, and we haven’t made it there yet. Furthermore, despite my having told them in advance not to do so, the VA has sent yet another of my prescriptions to the place in New Mexico were we stayed before, so I’ll need to go there to pick it up.
Wickenburg is nice. Not a hardship at all. It remains to be seen, however, whether we’ll ever get to Tombstone before it’s time to head eastward again for previously scheduled medical appointments.
