Not an exciting day, went down to Spin Cycle and did the laundry, came back to the coach and defrosted the fridge. Ron cleaned bays and serviced the batteries. Sun shone all day the inside of the coach got up into the 80's, I did not want to shut it out so it stays warmer tonight, nights are some chilly here.
Here is hopeing they can get us on the road tomorrow.

Leak in the air bag and dash
This morning we left the Balloon Park at 8 am to get the coach to the Freightliner shop to have the two air leaks repaired. Our appointment was not until 10am but we thought the earlier we could get it in the better.
Came back at 10:30 am and it was still parked waiting to go in so thought we better give them time and headed down to the 66 Casino to try our luck. I(Elaine) was the winner today while.
Guess what, you are right it still is not in the shop, rrrrrr. So of course it is going to be next and around 3pm it did finally go in.
4:30pm they come to say the part for the dash had arrived and had been replaced, however they did not have the proper airbag, would order it and it will be in tomorrow. We asked if we could park on the lot for the night and they do not allow it so we asked if it was driveable to go the 10 miles down the road to the casino and got an okay.
Got out on to the freeway, with me following in the truck and Ron comes over the radio, he is in trouble, he cannot control the coach, it is bouncing and bucking all over the road, he will find the next exit and go back. Yes, guess what the next exit was 10 miles down the road at the casino.
We had the freeway in turmoil, the fastest he could go was 30 miles an hour at best, it was a very scary trip. Once we got to the casino exit we decided to park it and run back in the truck, well when we came through that door they knew by my face that their was a problem. They appologized said they thought the bags would be okay and told of a side road that we could bring it back in the morning.

We went downtown and at Costco the most beautiful trees were in bloom, made me feel good.
Got back to the coach and I convinced Ron to get himself a ticket for Travis Tritt playing at the casino, he said the show was wonderful.
I just needed some time to myself to wind down.
Here is to better luck tomorrow.
