Well, OB and Mert left for Michigan yesterday morning and Benz and I are going to miss them. I spoke to them late last night, they had made it just inside of Nebraska and were looking for a place to settle down for the night. OB likes to stay in rest stops and Mert likes to stay at Wal-Mert parking lots (yes were changing the name to Wal-Mert).

I suspect that they will make Iowa tonight and will be in good position to get home by late Sunday afternoon. I know it’s driving my dad nuts, all the work that he has to do getting La Jefa fixed up. Here’s the list;

1. Repair the fiberglass on the front bumper where he ran into Killer
2. Rub out the scratch marks along the RH side where he hit a construction barrier
3. Fix the hole in the grey water tank where the drive shaft hit it
4. Repair the heater core that leaked and cause the bus to quit so many times before we just by-passed it
5. Repair the microwave (cans falling out of the cupboard broke the trim off one side
6. Repair the wood moulding above the microwave. (Shook apart from rough road)
7. Fix the toilet leak (cracked water valve)
8. Repair the upper and lower control arm ball joints (no grease zerks)
9. Repair or replace the 3-cargo doors that took that beating at our last campground
10. Repair the inverter that broke away from the storage compartment wall
