Tuesday (1st) We got up and dressed. After breakfast we started packing the RV. We finished about 11:00 or so and then Steve took a shower. We were ready to get on the road. We stopped at Bill's Corner (12 mi east of town) so Steve could fix the mirror. Then Steve turned onto the wrong highway - but we got turned around right away. We headed north on 177 toward Ponca City and about 11 or 12 miles down the road we had no power. The RV was barely moving. So Steve got us off the highway and started looking around for a problem. He had to remove the cover of the doghouse and fiddle around with some stuff. It seemed like a fuel issue. Anyway - he finally got it running - so we turned around and went home to work on it. Thank goodness we were able to get it going and back home. We didn't need a tow truck! Steve started researching the problem while I unloaded the RV. After he had a good idea what the problem might be, we went to O'Reilly's and bought a code reader.

Wednesday (2nd) We got up and around this morning. I was on the computer getting Going to The Sun Road entrance tickets on recreation.gov and Steve was researching the codes that came up on the RV problem. About 10:45 we left for Bartlesville and arrived at 1:00 PM. We stopped outside of Pawhuska at Casey's and used the restroom and got some scratch off tickets. I think we won $4! We went out to eat at Chili's with Pam & JC. Then we visited with Pam while JC went to a caregiver meeting and later to choir. We got home about 9:45 PM and went to bed soon after. Thursday (3rd) Today we started a little slow then got around. The problem with the RV is the Throttle actuator control and a sensor. We went to O'Reilly's to get a gasket and order a part. Also we bought some cleaner for the sensor. Steve worked on the RV Park. After lunch he moved the refrigerator (in the house) to clean out a fan underneath, so it would keep working. Then it was back to the RV for more work and get the part - air flow sensor. So our little trip was put on hold until things are operating better. Friday (4th) Today we picked up the gasket and went to Walmart for groceries. We were back home by 1:15 PM. As we were unloading groceries, our dog, Poopsie came running out to see us. I started to pick her up and tripped on a concrete crack and fell down kind of landing on top of her (but not squishing her). Anyway we were both kind of hurt, but not seriously. Steve fixed the RV and put on the sensor and the throttle body actuator. Then we relaxed. Saturday (5th) Today we took it easy most of the day. I pad a few bills and we putzed around the house. We did take two walks today. Sunday (6th) Today was chilly again! It rained in the afternoon. Today was mostly an inside day.
Monday (7th) Another pretty cold day 27º in the morning and 39º at 5:30. So we did our laundry and some household chores. Tuesday (8th) After the routine things and lunch, I ordered Covid tests. Then we checked in with H & R Block to see if we needed to file taxes - no need. Yea! I had found some clothes to donate and we dropped them off at Operation Blessing. We also visited with Linda and picked up our mail. We enjoyed our supper at La Macarena and celebrated Hazel's birthday a little early! Wednesday (9th) Today we drove the RV to Stillwater for a test drive. Steve drove the RV and I followed him in the pickup. While we were there we did grocery shopping. The RV did great and we had no problems. Thursday (10th) Another cold day with a wind chill of 19º! So it was an inside day -did some bill paying and other putzing around stuff. Friday (11th) Today we had snow in the morning and again more cold weather. We listened to the Dear Bob and Sue Podcast during lunch. Our snow melted by 1:00 PM. We decided, it's cold! Too cold for fun! Saturday (12th) It was 18º at 7 AM! So we stayed inside until after lunch. We walked the dogs around the square downtown - so they wouldn't get cabin fever! LOL Steve also cleaned the RV Windows. Sunday (13th) One of the first things we did today was change the clocks. Today is Spring Forward Day! As the day went on , we started packing the RV and doing laundry. We are going to leave tomorrow for El Reno. It is Spring Break in Oklahoma and we are going to help Logan look for a vehicle.
