More Wheel Woes

We kept our appointment at the Les Schwab Brakes Shop yesterday morning at 8 AM. It was a hassle getting everything organized and put away to tow the RV the 1 1/2 blocks up the street to get the broken lug replaced. The estimate from them was anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour to complete the job:





After waiting in the lobby for over an hour, I went to the RV to check on the progress. The wheel was still off and the broken lug had not yet been replaced. After speaking with the shop manager, I discovered that they have been calling all over Eastern Washington trying to find a match for the broken lug. Evidently, the lug is a unique one for RV's which they don't carry. To make a long story short, they agreed to get one overnighted from a shop in Seattle and come to our site at the Fairgrounds today to install it on the wheel. Sheesh! It is never easy.

Josie did some laundry and I washed the truck in the afternoon. I also washed the bugs off the front of the RV but I'll wait until we get settled in Jackson before washing the rest of the trailer. I also have a service appointment scheduled for the truck for tomorrow at 1:30 in Spokane. That is the closest Ford dealer to us - 70 miles. I thought every town had a Ford dealer.

Kristine and Philo will be over for dinner tonight as we are getting close to our departure for Wyoming...
