Tuesday and Hello Cowtown
We are finally here. We had to make a stop at the Ford service department in Weatherford, TX today as we had a "service engine soon" light. It turns out that the air intake was sucking in water and the air filter got too wet to let air pass. Hence, we have an engine problem, kinda. While it was there, we had scheduled service performed for the year. The truck part is good for a year. Time for a visit to the RV dealer for RV service. Total for parts and labor listed below:
a. service engine light....................$89.95
b. engine oil change........................$15.71
c. transmission fluid change..............$126.40
d. replace fuel filters.......................$71.20
..........................................................add tax and total..................................$314.87
We will have the rear jacks repaired (leaks), bedroom awning replaced (its has some holes) and the windshield gap repaired. All this will be more than the Ford factory trained total. The RV service has to be a rip-off. More on this when it happens.
Mileage: 377 from parking space in Lovington, NM to Benbrook Lake COE at Bear Creek came to 377. Gas in NM was $2.689, $150.00 to get here and $2.579, $137.00 just before we pulled into the COE. The car was driven by DW and she put in 8.5 gallons for 377 miles. And the car is a 94 Cavalier with 154, xxx miles. How's that for gas mileage. Don't ya dare check the RV, no comparison!
Temp: 83 with pc skies. No rain since yesterday and we have had more than enough.
