Sunrader Surgery

     Well, fair reader, this post has been a long time in coming, there is no denying. Let me give you the low down:
  1.  The sunrader is up and running at, roughly, 90% complete. It is fully usable, but without a bathroom. ;)
  2.  Being 90%, as my dad would say, we have 90% to go; meaning: the finishing touches could, hopefully not, take much longer than expected.
  3. That said: we are in Texas! More specifically, I am sitting in a mechanics, while the big rader of suns sits with its stomach wide open. In mechanical terms? The fuel pump gasket was leaking. It was an adventure getting the right part, but that is too long and laborious, a tale, for now. :P

     Enough with the numbers... After this sojourn, we will take it to get its tires replaced. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, the almond colored wonder is getting new feet! (That makes it sound kinda morbid, but I couldn’t think of any analogy that worked better.) Funny note, on that, the tires currently in place… yeah, they’re 1991’s. :-O I have had several mechanics/tire technicians tell me I must be lying about the year, then stand in stunned silence after reading it for themselves. Supposedly, it is quite unheard of for tires to last 23 years… who knew?
     As a side note, on the color, I’ve seen a lot of almonds in my day, and the outside is way darker than our RV… maybe, the color chooses to reference the inside? But if that is how we judge color, wouldn’t all apples be the same color? Also, people’s “skin” color would always be red… just a thought.
     Moving on!
     Morgan and I have been staying with family in the Waco area, and our puppies have been soooo good!
     Naga is becoming more socialized, every day. He hardly ever savages anyone, any more. ;) (More truthfully, he is more comfortable with more people, more quickly. He comes 96% of the time, when I call, 3.99% he is actively responding to the call of nature, and he comes as soon as he is finished. Also, he doesn't savage people, just thought I'd put that out there.)
     Calcifer is still wonderfully obedient and as cute as ever. He is officially not a puppy anymore, as his second birthday passed a few weeks back, but he has decided not to let labels hamper his play, and continues to terrorize….*cough* *cough*… play with any dog he can. :P
     I am transitioning back into “find editing work” mode, and will, hopefully, be filling my time in that regard, soon. In that vein, if any of you have any editing needs… :-D
     Morgan has added knitting(hats, scarves, hard drive cases, protective covers, etc.), roman shade creation, propane system installation, and Dutch oven, stove top baking to her long list of skills and talents.
     After we spend a few more days with family in the Waco/Dallas area, we plan on taking a slow journey back towards Sonora, CA, seeing the sites and field testing our RV along the way. When we reach that destination, we will finish off the beast, and hit the road once more, going wherever God leads us, and the road takes us.

     Until our next update, hopefully in the very near future, may God guide your path and keep you in His loving arms.
