Repairs :-(

We have been in Knoxville two and half weeks now. Linda's rig has a leaking radiator. Few days to diagnose the problem, one week to deliver a new $3000 radiator, and now a week waiting in the queue for shop space. The good news is Spartan will cover the radiator and the 12 hours of labor to install it.
It was great weather when we arrived, but now we are on the edge of the storm hitting NY and Washington DC.



Serenity is hopefully dry and warm in Brawley, CA. She is in the capable hands of Rod at David and Sons. Her engine has been pulled. The number three piston at sized. Her engine is being rebuilt. I hope to be home soon.

      It was a wonderful spot to spend a few days. It is also where people launch small boats. Luckily no one wanted to launch while I was there.

    I'm in need of repairs, too. I'm letting the leaky radiator go for now in lieu of fixing the hydraulics.
    I'm still in OK, near the TX border. TN will be after the repairs, if the snow has melted! I hope you're staying warm! Safe travels!
