We got up and ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel. We split a breakfast as usual and left with two coffees to go and filled stomachs. With tip$13.05 out the door. For some reason the frig didn’t fix itself. Hey, you never know with this modern technology stuff. Next stop will be El Paso. In the mean time here are some pics from yesterday and today.
We got fuel before heading for the night at Cracker Barrel’s parking lot. It was at the H.E.B. grocery store. At $3.67 I’m getting to the pump. Yes I blocked traffic but everyone was nice about it. the Beast was a little thirsty at 83 gallons. There went that $300 bucks.
The wind was a blowing during the day and it was a head wind. I’m glad we were on back roads most of the day.
Here’s my dash with my two other ladies.
Is that snow?
Yepper….and they’re were quite a few of these snow covered cars going south. And we are going north at the time!
I can dig it…….
Well over 200 of these things.
We got buffalo roaming around. Didn’t see any antelope or deer playing though.
We get to El Paso around lunch time. The tech said it sounded like a circuit board in the frig. There was a Good Sam Park right next door to the repair shop so that was a no brainer. FHU 50 AMP, cable $35. Plus we got a $25 refund (mail in) from Good Sam club. We’re not use to paying that but all things considered it was a good deal.
The tech came out and after doing some checking he found a blown 5 AMP fuse in the back of the frig in the circuit board box. When I looked at it it didn’t look bad but I couldn’t see all of the fuse in my defense. Cost me $25 for the repair which was pretty good I feel. Most places it’s a minimum $100 bucks or so.
No food went bad in the frig. It went about 30 hours without power. The ice just barely melted in the freezer. Mark gave us some brisket so I had to eat all of it so it wouldn’t go bad. It was good!….
Well, we got 800 miles behind us with 300 miles tomorrow to Don & Sharon’s. We got a call from Carol & Jerry Dale. They are hard down in Las Cruces, NM with a broken steering box in their motorhome. Jerry said it actually broke while doing 40 MPH. That could have been very bad. They’re in a Passport America park in Las Cruces waiting for parts. We will try and stop and cheer them up since we are going thru there.
See ya……
