April 23rd

We were hooked up early Tuesday morning and ready to head back to our sons house to start packing this rig up for our next trip. We left about 8:00 AM for home out of Pasco, WA.  It was not to bad of a drive but, about the time we were really rolling the truck told me it was having a problem.  Lost all boast when climbing a small hill.  When we were back on some what flat ground everything was working OK.  So we found a Ford dealer in Prosser, WA.  The mechanic that worked on the truck did a great job.  After checking everything out, fuel filter replaced, checked pressure of fuel pump, checked turbo and all of that OK.  I should say we checked air filter to start with and it looked clean, notice I said look clean.  After doing all those test and no problems, we noticed the air check showed the air filter plugged.  So we took the air filter out again and dropped it on the ground, and guess what fell out a ton of nice white dust!!!!  New air filter another test drive and everything is good as new.  Its hard to believe that when we looked at the filter to start with it looked pretty good.  Oh well, back on the road two hours later and truck is running great.  We made to our son's house with no other problems.
Yesterday we spend all day building shelf's in where the wash/dryer are at and in the pantry so Cyndy has better us of the space.  If I say so we have done a pretty good job.  I have one more shelf to build but we have to look at it a little closer.
  Up in out closet, we think Turbo may have found a place he can hide.  He has really been checking things out and making sure it is safe for us both.  We both are real happy with this rig.  It has a nice homey felling to it.  I think the nice thing we like the most is the two recliners, they have a build in massage and heat for after a long day of unpacking stuff and moving it three or four times.

Here is kind of what the kitchen looks like.  We are hoping to have everything pretty much set up by Friday, or later Saturday.  We will be heading to Longbeach on Monday for three weeks to see what else we can find that needs fixing before we head to Alaska.  We may have to stop over in Pasco for a few minor repairs but we will see.
Hope to have more pictures as we bet things cleaned up a little bit more in the next day or so.
