The first thing Sena did was jump up on my dad's walker and the two of them had quite a conversation. My dad is 92 yrs old and his heart is giving out. He sure enjoyed Sena and Lily.

That little monkey is sure a cutie, even if she likes Wayne more than me.

Hard to fathom that people are terrified of her.

OK up date time. Rain maker is at it again. I planned on finishing the first round of sanding and then bam. The water heater sprung a leak water was coming out of the place there was supposed to be flames. Uugg there goes tire money! So I pull the old 6 gal water heater out and all I could find around us was a 10 gal. Oh darn more hot water. So I remember after I got it it's 3" taller ugh. So I cut the hole bigger no big deal right! Wrong now the sink drain is in the way and water line and a plug outlet ugh. So I get all that done go to install it shoot it longer so I rebuild the cabinet so less space for Shara😠 install it and turn it on find another leak ugh. Finally got it done about 6 PM. So no sanding yesterday. I'll try again today. Wish me luck. Wanted to leave by November 4 but that's not going to happen so now we shoot for December 4. If I can find some cheap tires lol it might take a while they are 11r 24.5's lol anyway many oowwmms out to any one that needs them.

So Dwayne, when are you going to write an RV'ers book like Crowded Camper has done ? It could be a best seller. Oh and good luck with those tires, but there has to be some around there someplace, at least you would think so.

Hmm, good idea. She is better with zippers than I am.

To tell the truth, many monkeys do bite. Sena was raised with my 2 foster daughters who had profound physical and cognitive challenges. I was insistent that she not use her teeth, even in play. That early lesson has never been forgotten.

If only that neighbor would have taken a few minutes with Sena. Oh well, you can't fix stupid or people who believe everything they read on the internet.

It's always something, isn't it. Have you tried searching online for tires?

We have eight. Three macaws, four Eclectus and a Senegal. They eat better than we do. We get their leftovers. We even have one that demands his favorites. "Got nuts, Mom?" "Bring grapes!" "Mmmm. Yummy. Want some!"

Pretty good news! Both the turbo and head are in good shape. We also found an oil line to the turbo in such bad shape that it broke while taking it off the turbo so we caught that before we really had a blown turbo and maybe a fire hazard.

So, we will have the old style, 1 piece exhaust manifold replaced with an upgraded, 2 piece manifold and new gaskets. We will also have all hoses and lines inspected and replaced as needed.

We expect it back in our hands tomorrow. We will probably stay a couple days for free at the Cummins place and leave out Sunday morning for Las Vegas.

So, one night in a hotel isn't too bad and getting the bus back in good shape is always a grand thing. Now, we wait to find out how much the ESW covers but as it stands, no poor house for us! LOL

You just given me an idea. When parks ask how old Bonita is I can tell them - well she's a 2014 turbo, with 2014 tires, a 2014 Amish Cooling Unit, with a 2016 ECM, air dryer with a 2015 Splendide, on a 08 freightliner chassis and Cummins. With a full body paint box by Fleetwood with 08 paint.
