First, there is no way you could keep your mouth shut.

Second, I have heard you sing. You should go to Hollywood to one of those talent shows. The walk would do you good.

Ohms to Larry for continued healing. Prayers for you both. Ohms for all of the other afflicted mutants. Get well muteys.

We're about to embark on a 12 day cruise out of Miami (Belize, Bahamas, Jamacia, Costa Rica, Columbia, and Panama (thru the canal). We will be able to receive and send text, check emails, and use internet (For $54) but cellular hookup is expensive. So . . . . . we'll and you'll have to suffer thru the silence for #5. Another item checked off our bucket list.. Woot Woot

Pondering clothes for 12 days was a treat. We need 2 pack mules to haul the luggage to the group bus our Activity Committee set up.

Tell Mary Ann to leave some shoes at home and you could travel lighter. (Don't tell her I said that!)

Okay, this is sort of our "shake down" time. We are here at Fort Sam and we have three problems to be looked at. One is important but it is lucky we have a bath and a quarter. The Tecma Thetford was leaking. Not being at all familiar with electric toilets except to sit on them on occasion we called a mobile repair man. He is familiar with them and got right to the problem of a 90 degree valve coming off the solenoid had broke spewing water.

It is unfathomable that there is not a shot off valve to the toilet (there is now) and one would have to turn off the water supply to the whole motor home.

Well gee, a small little plastic 90˚ elbow reducer from 1 inch to 1/2 inch.....yeah but they cannot be found anywhere and trust me we searched and searched and after 3 days I found an RV place the could have one in 24 hours, and not have to pay shipping.

Well duh! I think shipping was included in the $48 parts cost, and they provided a toilet seal with the valve. Duh again. Tecma macerator toilets don't have a hole in the floor. Any one need a toilet floor seal.

Anyhow, I have the part and the repair person will be here today. Wonder what his labor is going to cost.

Second item is my mirror controls on the left panel next to the pilots chair. The breaker is no tripped. I"m thinking a wire may have fallen off...but who knows. (That was a search for a response)

The third s supposedly simple. Back flush inlet leaking. A new inlet should take care of that. I check the conections and all ar tight. Faulty seal between female thread and back of plate.

Oh well, y'all have a pleasant day. It is only 57˚ here in SA at 12:32 p.m.

Yup we got some more!! I didn't want to whine but it was not as bad as the last one. I didn't have to get my buddy with his 966 cat loader to plow us out. It is warming up again I hope.

Well, I'm all caught up again. Had a trip to Miami Monday/tuesday ... heading back Next Friday and will be there until Monday or Tuesday depending on how well things go .
Getting through Atlanta was hard... all the planes were backed up, running late, etc. Don't go through Atlanta if ya don't have to!
Omms n prayers for Dwayne, Shara ( who are sick it seems), and Ray , and Larry, and any others who need them. IT Omms sounded like they are needed up northwest... Do we have a term for that yet? COOMS? Computer omms... Anyway... HI!
