Leak

It rained all night last night. I was anxious to find out whether our leaks had been fixed. Ken reported that the carpet in his closet was dry--excellent. However, in the kitchen I was very unhappy to find water seeping from under the stove and fridge. It was only a little, so I guess that's progress, but the bottom line is that any leak is very bad for an RV.

Today was our last day with Dick and Carol and Debbie and family. Dick and Carol treated us to lunch at Villa Montez, the "mansion on the hill." We're pretty sure that we were at the same table as the last two times we've gone to this restaurant. This time Carol insisted that we were celebrating Ken and my birthdays, a bit belatedly. Next spring we'll have to celebrate their birthdays (which actually occur in the spring).





Carol had to go back into work for a bit in the afternoon, while we caught up on our laundry. Afterwards the Frith family came over. Robert had some reading to do for work. Carol and Debbie and Ken and I played Boggle--another family tradition. We each won a round or two, and everyone had fun.




We said goodbye and headed back to get ready for our move tomorrow to Paris to reunite with old friends from the RGV for the TEXPACC (Texas Plus Advanced and Challenge Convention). We haven't square danced since May, so we'll have to do some quick reviewing before the dancing starts Friday evening.

Tonight we had to put DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) in our truck. We've been very comfortable using the DEF at the pump available at most truck stops, but this time we got the warning that we were running short on DEF we haven't seen any truck stops. We had to buy a container of DEF and pour it in ourselves, not something we enjoy doing!

I fill up our DEF at PIlots and the like as well; but keep a 2-1/2 gallon jug of it in the back of the truck just in case. If you get it from the Ford place it comes with this little siphon thing that makes it easy to get it into the fill neck, I had to pour it once from a gallon bottle just by hand with a funnel and that was a pain.
