Bob and I spent Tuesday night in front of the Cummins repair shop in San Antonio. It was noisy from the highway steps from our door, and hot since we couldn’t plug into shore power, but we were in our own bed. On Wednesday morning the technician hooked us up to the computer and diagnosed the problem. Apparently, when an engine has had hose failures and coolant has sprayed all over the place, some coolant gets into the engine oil and contaminates it. We needed an oil change and a clean oil filter.
By about 1:00 the oil was changed, the engine was recharged, and we were ready for a test drive as the heavens opened and rain poured down. We drove around for 20 minutes or so and returned to be hooked up to the computer one last time. And we passed, the sun came out, and Bob hooked up the car and ran in to pay the bill. We were off to the campground, about 25 minutes away.
We are looking forward to the next six days in San Antonio, despite a lousy weather report showing rain just about every day. We don’t care; we will make the most of our visit. Unfortunately we won’t be able to get together with our friends, Ron and Kathy but we will plan on seeing them the next time our plans cross.
