Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Our time spent at the country music festival was fun and interesting. Our first time volunteering in the music world and we met some new friends. Our job was to help set up chairs, monitor supplies in the restrooms and keeping all but the main entrance door closed. Most of our time was spent closing doors that were either not closed tight when people left or deliberately propped open to let people in that were supposed to be using the main door. The enjoyable part was listening to the musicians all day. We helped clean up on Sunday night and drove to Sioux City on Monday the 7th. Back in Sioux City we had a few appointments and as always some maintenance work to do as well as getting to spend some time with our family there. A little over 2 weeks passed quickly and on Thursday we hit the road for Arizona. After a late start, we decided to overnight in Kansas City. Friday morning we planned to head down to Pittsburg, KS to spend a couple of days visiting a couple of friends that we met a few years ago in Texas. When we tried to raise our jack to leave, the front one would not come up and oil was pouring out of it. Our only solution was to crawl under the motor home and remove it. We called the factory and they recommended an RV and truck repair shop in Kansas City. The shop could not get us in until Tuesday, so we made the appointment and headed on to Pittsburg after a trip to Walmart for kitty litter to clean up the mess we had made. We enjoyed our visit with them as usual and now we are back in Kansas City parked outside the repair shop and plugged into their electric outlet ready for our appointment tomorrow. Hopefully repairs will not take too long, as the nights are getting colder and snow is predicted this week here. We are not on a tight schedule to get to Arizona, so we shouldn't have to travel in bad weather though.
