Maintenance Day

No pictures today. We found a leak in the basement and while Doug was investigating where the washing machine could be leaking, he discovered that the water filter for the ice maker was leaking. So, we were off to Hollister RV to find a new water filter. It was a fairly easy fix, but still took most of the day between visiting with neighbors and running to the store and actually doing the replacement.

Our neighbors have been full timing since 1995. And, they own a fifth wheel made by the same company as our Alpine Coach. Interesting people and we learned a lot from them as well as shared some of our own discoveries. We sure meet interesting people when we are traveling.

Anyway, one problem eliminated and tomorrow we look for the washing machine leak. This requires Doug removing the unit from the closet (not an easy task) and then being a contortionist to examine the water lines and machines in such a small space. Neither one of us is looking forward to this but neither are we liking the idea of using a laundromat. Rough life, huh?

The weather is cooling off considerably at night. It was down to 36 degrees last night, but the days are still around 80. It is lovely waking up and knowing that the sky is blue and the sun is shining.
