| Quick Update. The rains came and No leaks!! And now I will be moving down to where we will stay till they get the work done. Had to be put on hold for a few days as it rained and poured all last weekend. the desert floor is sand and that much rain turns the sand to Quicksand!!! I don't want to take that chance so I waited. Tomorrow we should be there will let you know if I did or didn't make it, Later Dan |

well, Bad news for us, The rear window is a insulated model and one piece. We had replaced it as the other one was always cold when in the wintertime so we had them replace it. It started to leak tuesday and now we are getting ready to rock and roll down there!. Don't know how long to be down thee maybe couple of days?? Will check in later, Dan
Hope it is something simple!! They told me that the awning came in too!! So maybe they will get it all finished while we are down there!!

| I'd be happy for a high of 26! Right now its 9 degrees. Lots of wind and snow blowing around. Oh well, guess I'll go snow mobiling this afternoon. Gotta make the best of it you know. |

Hi there, Sorry I have been missing lately but We had two Computers go down and that wasn't in the game plan. My old Dell died from old age,3+ years old. Debs New HP died at four months and it took three weeks but they called and we got another Brand new computer as the HP was in a recall program. Something about 64 bit Nvidia on a 32 bit board or something like that. I know I hated the damn thing and this one has the Vista on it too but is as different as night and day!! this one seems good! It is a Compaq but I like it better than the HP we had. Best Buy steped up to the plate and gave us a better computer than the other one as a..gift?? Whatever, but We both like this one better. I am saving up for a Acer that they had there. Will see.
On another note I have had to gety another toad as our Mazda died..early. We put a new motor in it about 4 years ago but the oil pump went out and I spun a bearing. Seems they had this sort of problem with the 2.0 4 bangers!! Its a shame But i was able to get a 1990 Isuzu trooper II. 2.8 V-6 and has all I had before and a few other confort features. I knew the old boy who owned it and he had a stroke in the truck and made it off the road before it could hit anyone. there was some minor damage but easy to fix,[done]. I have the beast on the road already but that truck has taken our funding for this years trip. I paid cash!! We like it but I always get so attached to my buggys and I hate it when I have to let go of them.I guess its a good thing that I don't have open property as all of the cars vans trucks and rv's would be there rusting slowly away......  I will recycle it but will miss it as it was a loyal truck! I am sure the Isuzu will be the same way but it takes awhile to get 'in' love with a vehicle! We go to roadrunner monday to have the finish of there work done and then we will sit and pay off bills and save up to travel some..If we can. Don't know where or when, but we will!! later all, and hope you have a Happy New Year!! Dan
