Ted is still coughing but feeling better. The bug hit him hard on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday afternoon Peg came over to watch the Charger game and eat with us! She made dinner for us but we all filled up on chips and dip so Ted and I are having her pork chops for dinner tonight!
Yesterday we left Pio Pico for Soledad which is south and east of Magic Mountain, almost in Palmdale. We set up the RV and then took the truck down to Fontana to get looked at. We had taken it to a Ford Dealer in San Diego County and they thought there was a problem with the torque converter. It would take $800 just to find out if that was the problem and another $1000 to fix it. We decided to take it back to Fontana because they had found the head gasket problem after going to five other Ford Dealerships while traveling in Texas.
We dropped off the truck yesterday afternoon and got a rental car to get back to the campground. They called today and so far have found three injectors that were bad. They are at least covered under warranty (except for $100 deductible) which is good because they are $250 each ($750 - yikes). Still not sure about our other problem but they want to wait and check the truck first thing tomorrow morning while it's cold.
Speaking of cold, our elevation is around 3000' here and it is about 15 degrees cooler than it was in Fontana. It was low 40's this morning and chilly and breezy here today.
When we left yesterday I didn't check to make sure the living room tv was secure in the cabinet and the road was bumpy enough that the tv fell out of the cabinet. Fortunately the tv is ok but the plastic anchors on the bottom of the tv broke off. Ted will have to figure out a way to secure the tv because we can't drive with it in the cabinet unsecured. I hope he can figure something out - I feel really bad that I didn't remember to check the tv.
A blessing that at least the tv still works..."Ain't Life Grand!"
