We left the campground at 6:35 this morning, in the dark. It was 44 miles over to US 281 Truck & Trailer Services in Edinburg, TX. We arrived, for our appointment, just as they opened at 7:30. After unhooking the car Kathy pulled the coach into their shop.
I asked the lady in the office about a good place to get breakfast and she recommended Zamora's in Edinburg. I had their breakfast special, 2 eggs, hash browns & a sausage patty. Kathy got a bacon and egg breakfast taco. The food was great.
After breakfast we drove down to the Costco in McAllen. You can get a really good parking place when you arrive an hour before they open. We sat in the car, Kathy napped and I read.
After killing some time "shopping" we headed back up to US 281 Truck & Trailer. They called us while we were on the way to tell us that they were done.
One of the problems was that a knob on the dash worked a cable which in turn opened and closed a damper adjusting hot/cold air in the duct work. The control mechanism is no longer available. They rigged up a new cable that we can use to operate the door. It is kind of a Rube Goldberg device, but it works. (Great job guys!) It was kind of a pain driving all that way for service but I was pleased with their work and would use them again if we have a problem.
I took the photos below as we were leaving. It is an interesting place. Note the old diesels "stored". Also not the "cattle gate" we drove over entering and exiting.
We were back home and set back up by 3 PM. Kathy headed to the puzzle room and I took a nap.
Today's weather was warm, high of 82, mostly sunny and a little windy (its windy most of the time here).
God is good. I pray that He bless you and yours. He has blessed me.
