Friday we hung around US 281 Truck and Trailer until after noon, hoping the repaired solenoid and jack would arrive. The hydraulic repair people kept promising, just not delivering. When we left the latest promise was 3 PM Friday, which didn't leave enough time to do the work. We drove back to Lakewood/Harlingen. I have a 8:30 appointment Tuesday to get the work finished.
This morning I went to my 9:30 conversational Spanish class. Nine people attended. It is supposed to last 30 minutes, but stretched to 45 minutes. When I got home we went to Sam's so Kathy could get some onions and hot dog buns for this afternoons Christmas for the Children meal/fundraiser. She made "chili" for the chili dogs. They started serving at 4 PM, I think they sold around 60 of them.
A couple came in and started providing entertainment around 4:30. They were good. They played C&W plus oldies, Kathy even enjoyed some of their music. Lots of people dancing to it. Maybe a dozen people out line dancing several times, only one guy in the group. Nine couples out during another song.
Late Thursday evening, after everything was off and I was setting reading, I heard the water pump come on very briefly. It kept doing it every minute or so. I check all the faucets for one that was dripping but all of them seemed OK. Friday morning we turned the pump back as we were making breakfast and it was doing the same thing. I went out and saw that water was dripping (big drip) out of the basement bay next to the water heater. I think the water heater is original. 18 years for a RV water heater is probably a good service life. I was able to shut off a bypass valve, stopping the leak, but no hot water.
This afternoon I unloaded the basement bay next to the water heater, in hopes that I could replace it. After crawling in the basement and starting the dismantling to get at the water heater connections I realized that there was no way I could contort myself enough to get at the water and electrical connections to remove it. Monday I will call a local RV guy. He replaced one of our AC units several years ago and last year showed me how to get to pump/compressor for our Sleep Number bed.
I took a cold shower last night. It seemed better than walking over to the clubhouse for a shower. Tonight I'm walking to the clubhouse.😊
Weather is cool here today. Yesterday the high was 78, today the high was a cloudy, damp 64. We got a very brief, very light shower this morning; hardly enough to wet the asphalt. It's 58 at 9 PM.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
