figuring its time to get a make a little progress in our summer tip plans, a little while ago my wife started making reservations for the campgrounds shown above .... we ended up having to delete one choice and find a replacement .... as can be seen, as of now, 3 of the 4 reservations have been confirmed .... hopefully the 4th can be taken care of shortly .... sometime after we get home on the first of April we hope to be able to take care of a few (hopefully) minor mechanical issues with our truck and camper .... as one trip draws to a close, its nice to have another in the planning stage

as the door closes on one trip, it opens for another .. 8-) .. as noted, some plans for a June trip to South Dakota have been made .... first up will be scheduling our truck to go in to find a leak in its pressurized air system sometime within the next two weeks .... while the truck is fully operational, this is an issue I want resolved ... we would have had it taken care of in Texas but that would have required renting vehicle, an expense we didn't need .... the good news is, no need to replace the tires on both the truck and camper .... a thorough washing is going to be scheduled as soon as our record pollen counts go way down ....

the top item on our pre-trip get done list is to eliminate a leak in the truck's pressurize air system .... somewhere there is a leak .... I believe that moisture in some line or some fitting froze and broke during our week of subfreezing temps while we were in Texas .... we've arranged to take it over to our local garage Monday morning .... our hope is the leak will be easy to find and repair

this morning we plan to drive to a fabric shop to purchase material to make new curtains for all of our camper's windows .... the OEM's were installed when the camper was built back in October of '05 .... lets just say its time for them to go ;)

Sportchassis delivered to a local garage this morning at 8AM .... for me that's a bit early but we made it .... I told them there isn't any major rush so I don't anticipate hearing anything until late this week .... a bit later we got our second Covid shots so another pre-trip item has been checked off .... we've made the decision to not replace any tires on the truck or camper until after we get back from South Dakota (at the earliest), so another item checked off .... we hope to get busy on making new curtains for the camper next week but that's still way up in the air
