Still Waiting to Head North
Little by little, things are improving farther north and I am still getting little things done on the RV as I wait here in Albuquerque. Found those misplaced festoon lights and replaced the three aisle lights for better night time maneuvering and help in avoiding kicking things with my bare feet -- still get the occasional sticker brought in from walking around the campground -- too hard to see those nasty little things without getting down on my hands and knees.
Ordered a new control panel yesterday for the hydraulic leveling system and it's due in this Friday. Of course, the old one decided to work again today around midday so, I will have a backup either way. I also got under the RV this afternoon and replaced the tail pipe hanger and u-bolt so, now I don't have to worry about it falling off when I head for Colorado or elsewhere after the summer. Also, I think I have found every circuit breaker panel and nearly every fuse box inside and outside of this RV and may have to get some backup fuses of various amps in case something happens to blow one of them (no time soon hopefully).
Still haven't gotten to the Sandia Peak Tramway since I spent Monday getting that part ordered and the tramway was only open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today -- too windy and dusty to consider going there today. Thursday, I plan to head for Chaco Canyon and that neighbor (Marilyn) has agreed to join me. It will be nice to have company for the 3 or more hour drive and someone to take in the sights with too.
I can see the moon out there in the sky above tonight but, the wind is still blowing and visibility along the horizon is pretty poor due to the dust -- most of the clouds have cleared (I think) and it's supposed to get down near freezing tonight so I will monitor the outside temp and crank up the space heaters as needed.
