High Life......

Things are finally getting back to where we were expecting to be a couple of weeks ago (we fully expected to be on the road heading east exactly two weeks ago).
We got the Endeavor back this past Wednesday complete with a shiny new drive shaft. After a quick over nighter a few miles west of Pendleton and very pleasurable drive, we arrived in Jamie's driveway......only about 5 weeks late. Have spent the days since on simple maintenance items that we had uncovered during the drive here and wanted to complete while we had a port that allowed us the luxury of a garage and tooling. Things like.....a sticky bay door hatch, TV cable routing / hookups for DVD player and satellite dish, some drawer latches that were not holding securely, loose door handle, check of items like belts and hoses....those types of things. Hoping to get in a wash and polish before heading out next Monday but incoming rains could put a kibosh to that plan.
Our exit route is a little up in the air. With it being later into October and the northern temps maybe heading to winter levels a couple of weeks early, there is a chance we may head south down the coast from here instead of staying north and heading east. Having done a lot of California in the past that isn't as appealing to us as the route east into areas that we have never ventured into. Will monitor the weather and if it looks like it will still be fall warm and none of the winter air, we will trip as previously planned with a slight shortening of the journey. Head south from around the Chicago region, through Tennessee and eventually into Hemphill Texas where we have a Nov 1 date with a resort that we plan on wintering in. It is appr 250 miles northeast of Houston.
So......in a few days this BLOG will contain the things that were intended and make for some livelier reading.

Road Rash.......

Again...nothing to report.  Yaaaaaaay!!!!!!!
