| The pump that should move the slide |
Yesterday (16th)was
another day of little activity. I did
get the roof vent installed and we (mostly Ella) did some more rearranging our
living space to make it more functional.
Hillcountry RV called about 3:30 to let us know that the other vent has
arrived. We decided to not make a
special trip into Marble
Falls

Today (17th)
is my youngest daughter’s, Heather, birthday. We had made plans to spend the
day with her and Mike (until he had to leave for work). However, I awoke about two this morning with
diarrhea and vomiting. I thought I was
over it by five. However, after I ate a
half a bowl of oatmeal, it started over.
Heather had a managers’ meeting this morning, so I sent her a text
letting her know what was going on and that we would not be spending the day
with her after all. I also called Mike
to let him know what was going on just in case she returned home without
reading the text.
I went back
to bed and slept until nearly 3:30. I
was feeling better (not good … but better) so we decided to go to Marble Falls
and get the refrigerator side vent that had Hillcountry had called us about
yesterday. It is about thirty miles to
get to any town from here. Burnet, Llalo
and Marble Falls

When we
arrived at Hillcountry I found that they couldn’t sell just the door of the
vent but the whole vent kit. I was
hoping to just got back to the trailer and fit the door in place. I did try that. However, the new door did not fit the old
trim piece. I removed the old trim and
was relieved that the new unit fit the opening.
It is installed. I will pick up
some putty tape the next time I’m in a town with a hardware. I will then need to uninstall, add the putty
and reinstall.
While at
Hillcountry we learned that the model hydraulic pump that we have is
obsolete. Larry is searching for the
pump model that replaces the old. I’m
still not entirely sure that the pump is the problem. I hate the thought of spending the money
(still unknown but I’m guessing around a thousand dollars) and finding that the
slide still will not go out.
After
installing the new vent, I finally felt that I could safely eat something. So, I fixed a couple of eggs and some toast. I then went up to bed and watched something
on my Droid TV. That was probably
sometime before six. I woke up about
nine. I fixed some more toast (with
honey this time) and a cup of highly sugared coffee with milk. I normally drink it black. However, I seemed to be craving the sweet
stuff.
I’ve been
working on this blog since then and am thinking that I’ll go back to bed as
soon as I’m done posting this. (it is now nine forty-five p.m.) I really hope that Ella doesn’t get what ever
this was/is.
