Today
was a relaxing day for some of the party.
The girls spent most of the day at the springs. (Sharon realized the next day; she’d actually
gotten sunburned!! Wasn’t thinking about
that possibility!!)
Bob
went on an expedition to fine some parts to repair the motorhome. When I leveled the motorhome, it lifted the
front wheels off the ground as normal.
After a few minutes we heard this loud noise and discovered that the
airbag on the left front of the motorhome had blown off the mounting
bracket. Nothing was broken, it just
came off the bracket from the weight of the axle (this was an aftermarket
product Bob installed to soften the ride). I determined that a couple of large hose
clamps would remedy the situation. In
the middle of nowhere hose clamps are a mirage.
Just across the road from the provincial park was a little RV park and restaurant. I took a stroll over there and struck a
conversation with the guy that pumped gas and asked if he knew where a fellow
like me could fine a couple of hose clamps?
He said “follow me.” We went into his storage building and low and
behold he had just what I needed. What a blessing! So having the parts I needed, I went to work
and made the repair. So far the fix is
holding.
If
you were wondering how the windshield wiper situation worked out it working
fine. After a few trial and errors (on my part) I finally figured out how to
make it work. I had a lot of road time to come up with the right combination to
fix it. So, for the time being, we are
fully operational. That’s not to say
we’ll stay that way. 
After
the ladies got back that afternoon, we cooked steaks out on the grill and
enjoyed a beautiful evening by the fire. 
Oh by the way, we took one more quick trip to the springs. On the way back from the springs we came across a mother goose with 4 little babies. She threw a fit when I approached her. You know how mothers are very protective of their young.
