unfortunately, no .... with batteries shutoff we know the batteries aren't the problem .... I watched them run test of for an electrical draw with the ignition key cut off .... forgotten the actual draw the truck's clock and such but it is tiny in other words normal .... their theory is some switch must be faulty and at times fails to shutoff as it should .... the only way they can find it is to have it fail when the truck is in their shop .... its literally spent something over two weeks in their shop and so far that hasn't happened ....

another item checked off of our pretrip to-do list .... ran our camper's propane furnace last night as a test and it worked well .... sometime after Thanksgiving we plan to fill the camper's propane tanks so they will be full when we head for Texas

our Tarheel Roadrunners camping club will once again camp at Raleigh Oaks this weekend .... this is our last scheduled outing for 2021 .... for the last few years this outing has served as our last systems test prior to pulling out for Texas shortly after New Years .... there is a good chance of rain moving through around dark today .... thankfully, Saturday promises to be beautiful with a high of 72 and only a 25% chance of rain .... anyone passing by on I-95 is more than welcome to stop by

well, I've said many times that our plans are absolute and final, subject to change at any second .... today, our plan to leave this coming Sunday and head to Texas for a couple of months proved just how frail our plans can be .... this morning while standing in line to pick up meds at our local Walmart pharmacy, Maureen blacked out and hit the floor .... she doesn't remember falling, hitting her head, being treated in the store with further treatment in an ambulance .... she doesn't remember the ride to a hospital, her first hazy memory is waking up in a hospital emergency room.... our oldest son who is a medical doctor joined us there shortly after our arrival .... thankfully over the next few hours of testing, the list of scary possible causes were eliminated ... beginning tomorrow elimination of other far less critical causes will begin .... factor in that this is the second time she's blanked out, until we learn more, I've decided to cancel this year's trip to Texas .... we will look at another trip a year form now but at our ages, we may have made our last trip to Texas

Real sorry to hear this Jim. Please give Maureen our best from Dolly and myself. I hope that things work out to where you can do it again if you are able to. Please keep us posted as to what you find.

Our prayers are with you, hope Maureen is ok. I know what you’re going through with my wife blacking out and all the testing that goes with it. Praying things turnout well!

Jim, prayers for your wife. Hopefully this is a minor problem.
My sister is dealing with a fainting issue. I got her to my cardiologist and he did a lot of testing. Including a heart monitor (14 days), echo cardiogram and several blood tests. He diagnosed low blood pressure coupled with any type of minor infection. Put her on some medication to raise her BP and she has been good for 3 months now.
