Day 4 - Monday, December 2 - Spent the Day in Iuka

Overnight low last night was 25, today's high was a sunny 49.

We were next door in the Lakeshore parking lot at 7 AM, waiting for them to open the doors. I showed Bryan my list of things I  wanted fixed and we headed for Iuka, about 10 miles from here. It was frosty overnight. The road was clear but the grass on the sides of the road were certainly frosty.

We stopped at McDonald's where I had breakfast and Kathy had a Coke, she is not a breakfast eater. We caught up with news and email using the free WiFi. While Kathy finished up online I went next door to the gas station and filled up. When I got back into the car to move back to McDonald's I noticed the low tire warning light. Conveniently there was an air pump at the station so added air to the tire that was obviously low. After picking Kathy up I headed to a local tire shop. After a lot of looking they young man at the tire shop found the pinhole leak. Even with 60 psi in the tire it barely made bubbles when the hole was covered in soap solution. He broke the tire down patched it from the inside and put it back on the car. He charged $20 which I thought was reasonably considering how long it took to find the leak. I got a big smile from him when I gave him a $5 tip.

Kathy and I occasionally talk about how blessed we have been during our travels. We have had issues but we have never been stranded. Needing to have a tire fixed while in a town with tire repair shops is nothing. If that tire had went flat while we were pulling it behind the RV I hate to think what might have happened before it was bad enough that we noticed that something was wrong.

After the tire repair we parked in downtown Iuka where Kathy visited a couple of stores. We then sat in the car at the at the little downtown park and relaxed enjoying the sunny day.

We went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch. The food was good. After that we went to the larger downtown park and sat parked in the sun.

There are lots of Christmas lights around the park. I bet it is pretty at night.

The log cabin just right of center in the photo below is the same one on the left side of the last photo.

When we got back to Lakeshore the guys had already moved the coach back onto the parking pad for us and had the heat running full blast. They finished most of the items but were waiting on parts for a couple of items. The parts are supposed to arrive tomorrow.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
