If It’s Tuesday….

Leaving Topeka this morning headed for Onawa, Iowa. Thunderstorm warnings and flood watches ahead of us; that ought to be fun.

Our traveling companions are not fairing so well. Before they got to Dallas, they stopped for a vibration and ended up replacing two tires - Michelins for the motorhome = $800 plus . They got to Ardmore and their generator went out; no boondocking at Wal-Mart, so they ended up parked next to us in the RV park. The gennie is still under warranty, so they can have it replaced when they get home; everything is still a go.

Yesterday, they got about five miles before their drive-shaft fell out on the street. They are still in Ardmore and hope to have a replacement shaft delivered and installed tomorrow or the day after. They are still hoping to catch up with us in the Black Hills.

I hope they do, but if it were me, I think I would write off the trip and head for home.
