Up a little earlier today. Wanda still not feeling any better. I have a headache and body aches also. Lounged around a bit then headed to iHop for breakfast. No WIFI at McClains RV Center so took the laptop with us in hopes of finding a McD’s As luck would have it, right next door to the iHop was a McD’s and they had really good WIFI. Took care of some internet business, downloaded about 300 emails (295 of them junk) and updated the travel Blog http://we3brvn.blogspot.com/ JW received a call from a friend of his, Jim Elkins, (the lead for the Frisco Silver Dollar Line Steam Train at SDC), he was in Rockport, Tx and wanted to have supper with us. JW told him that would be a little impossible as we were still 400 miles from Corpus Christi. He was leaving Rockport for Florida early on Friday morning. “See ya later Jim.” Returned to the Motorhome and awaited a call from the service dept. At 2:00 pm, the service man called and said to bring the coach over cuz the part was in. An hour and a half later after spending $825 to get a new motor installed so the jacks and slides will work, we were on the road once again at 3:50 pm. It seems to be becoming a habit of having the privilege to pay double the price quoted on RV repairs. Whatever?! We were just glad to be on the road again. We were headed to Austin and if we are feeling better tomorrow, we will visit the Texas State Capitol. Oh yeah, I think I mentioned earlier in the blog, that we were in need of fuel. No Wal-Marts were to be found (even using JW’s handy dandy Murphy app for the iPhone). Sooo, a few miles down the road, JW pulls into an Exxon station, $2.95 gal. WOW ! ! ! Gotta have fuel, so fill ‘er up. $150.00 later and we’re on the road again only to find a Wal-Mart Murphy down the road about 3 miles and $2.80 gal. JW just shook his head in disgust. Speaking of Murphy, all this must have something to do with Murphy’s Law, that’s all I can figure. 5:00 pm came and we found the first RV park available, Waco North KOA, a welcome sight indeed. Setup for the night (with jacks down and slides out), boy we got a lotta room. As sick as Wanda is, she still managed to fix our first meal on this trip. We’ll get an early ???? start in the morning. G’night all.
