Things are not looking up today. The radiator arrived and when the mechanic was taking out the damaged radiator, he found that one of the cooling fans had completely broken apart and put a hole through the shroud causing the damage in the radiator. Our life-savior in San Diego has the fan assembly that will be shipped overnight, but not the shroud and brackets. They have to come from a VW dealer in Indio, CA and we can't get them until Friday. So we are here in Twentynine Palms for at least two more nights.
My daughter Sally Ann (I will call her this because I also have a sister Sally who is following our blog) recommended a great little cafe for breakfast here in Twentynine Palms. Sally Ann, the pancakes were teriffic!!! We all raved about them. Service was excellent, too at the Carousel Cafe. We spent the day trying to find a dealer who had either Continental or Nokian tires for Amye's 'Tilton Hilton and after about 4 steady hours of phone calls, Joan found four in West Sacramento. Hopefully we can get them installed on Monday after the 4th of July. The Rialta requires special tires and it seems we are having more and more difficulty getting them.
This afternoon we ate lunch at the local Mickey D's....where else?! Not bad for the price since I have to conserve money. Found a grocery store to stock up on some needed items and did our laundry. Guess we will read or play on our computers tonight. Time for a margarita!!

If it wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed breakfast. Go see Amboy Crater tomorrow and the "town" of Amboy.
Love you, Mom!
I think you girls should have taken your trip with your cars. Those motor homes are to expensive and break to often.
