I don't know how long it has been since I read my friends posts. I think about a month but LJ would only let me go back to Dec. 18 perhaps if I took some feeds off my friends list I could update faster. The local weekly and LOL Cats took up a lot of space ( Read more... )

I'm making good time. I drove from Deming, NM to Liberal, KS on Monday and from Liberal, KS to Bethany, MO ( Read more... )

We are leaving early tomorrow morning for Scottsdale. We will meet my sister at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. We will hear a presentation about MDS by a Dr. James Slack of the Mayo Clinic.
I hope wayfinder38 has enough energy for the day. We have not left this area for 16 months ( Read more... )

We limped into Tucson at sunset Saturday. We had to unhitch the car in New Mexico and I drove it while wayfinder38 drove the motorhome. He had to stop several times to let the engine compartment cool down. We made it up the Texas Canyon summit, we took a rest there and the weather was cooling down. There is a long uphill grade coming out of the San Pedro ( Read more... )

We told him we would make other arrangements and moved to a RV Park. Since the Emergency Road Service told us that ( Read more... )

We stayed an extra day in Pecos as wayfinder38 got his blood draw in the morning and then it was 11 o'clock. I wanted to drive 300 miles which would take us about 7 hours including stopping to switch off drivers and have some lunch ( Read more... )

We got up at 7:30 but did not get underway until about 11 a.m. If we start to check our email and our LJ friends page we can consume quite a bit of time that probably would be better spent going on down the road. wayfinder38 drove the first 30 miles to the Flying J at Tye, TX. We filled up the propane tank and filled up with diesel as the price was the best ( Read more... )

I let the anniversary of my starting my LJ account pass by without notice. I started Oct. 10, 2004 so I have been writing about our travels and travails for over two years. Many of my friends are on LJ and I really am quite addicted to my friends page ( Read more... )
