Heading home

Los Alamos to Ross Oklahoma (472 miles)

Wednesday, October 24, 2018

Millie and I finished up the projects we’ve been working on at the Kolman house. We’ve put everything in place in the motorhome and tomorrow morning we head for home. As of now, we are canceling our side trip to Magnolia in Waco Texas. It will take us four days to go straight home and we would like to get there as quick as possible in case pain flairs back up in the infected tooth. The grandkids are disappointed, they wanted us to stay for the town Halloween festivities this weekend, but they’ll get over it.

Goodbyes were said and we were on the road by about 8:45 this morning.  It was foggy until we got down off the mountain, but its slow going down the curvy mountain road anyhow. Once we got on I-40 it was a 70 mph day that helped us rack up a total of 472 miles for the day.

Tooth update: So far so good, Ibuprofen and antibiotics keeping the pain at bay. Records from Los Alamos dentist sent to my two dentists at home.

Truck update: We’re still running the REMCO transmission lubrication system but it is still causing a lot of anxiety. The pump allows us to tow the automatic transmission equipped pickup and it is still acting up. So far it’s still running but we randomly get pressure warnings in the motorhome control panel. When I go back and check it, everything is running fine. We have a back up plan if needed, I can remove the driveshaft and tow it without using the pump if need be.

That’s all for now, I will wrap this trip log up when we get back to Myrtle Beach.
