In Oklahoma!

We spent a nice week with our friends Bill and Ginny.  We took our truck to Springfield to get worked on so they drove us around to dinner and sightseeing in between having contractors over to work on building a really cool barn.  The barn is going to have a wood shop and a "pad shop", an apartment and a turret with office space and sitting room!  Bill owned a bindery shop and kept some of his equipment when he retired.  He makes dental pads that the dentist uses to mix the epoxy for glueing the cap on your tooth.  He has enough clients that it gives him some extra income and doesn't take too much time!  The barn is really going to be nice when it gets finished.  It is just in the beginning stages.  We will still have plenty of room to park the RV!  The house area is on 10 of their 300 acres!

One day we went to Bennett Springs State Park.  We had gone their last year.  It's a beautiful spring on the river that has shades of greens and blues and produces 71 million gallons of water per day!    They have a nice lodge and we had a nice lunch there.

We visited Verizon one day and we are now on Mifi instead of Broadband for internet.  It took us a little time to figure out the installation but it's working well!

We got the truck back on Friday.   They replaced 4 more injectors so now there is only 1 original injector.  Fortunately they were still under warranty.  They also found our electrical problem!  They only charged $80 for that (we had a bid of $600 by another Ford Dealer in Arizona)!  They changed the oil/fuel filters also.

Last night a storm hit the area and fortunately we were far enough north to miss the really bad stuff!  Just had some rain, thunder and lightning.

This morning they took us to the Lion's Club Trail Ride breakfast before we got on the road.  We are spending tonight in Afton, Oklahoma, just west of Missouri.  We will only spend one night here before continuing west toward California.
