Sierra Repair Report

 

Adventure Location:

Decatur, Alabama

Date: July 8, 2024

Good Evening Folks. We have nasty weather creeping up on us as a result of the hurricane pushing a front towards us. It should not be a big thing except for the rain. The brunt of the hurricane left over should go on past us and into nearby Tennessee to the north. At least We hope it is not a lot of rain.

This mornings walk was another very nice walk. The purpose was to see what was a “natural feeling distance” for our joints to go without beginning to ache very much. It was highly successful. Our best distance worked out to be right around 2.5 miles. So now the walking research seems over and we can aim at walks of 2,5 miles in the future. Joint pain is not for pushing to make it better.

Two times more during the day we made brisk one mile walks to the dumpsters and those walks went just fine so we hope we are getting this walking worked out again for a good while.

After lunch we went to the car dealer to see what was happening with our new truck transmission. The service writer said it had not arrived yet but he has my phone number in his phone to call me the moment something develops. He is hoping for a Thursday-Friday job this week. The OFM will be ready to not have to nurse Sierra around town any more. We shall see???

In the mean time we are piddling with making traveling plans for after mid September departure if things hold together. One big bugger in the planning is not knowing what New Mexico is going to do to their state parks fee structure. That change can have a major impact on travel and fun in that state when they make whatever change they decide upon.

So in the mean time we will just have a good time here in Alabama, which we are finding is a pretty good place for fun also.
