Big Water Leak In Motor Home...........

.......well not so big; but, a leak anyway. Becky turned on the bathroom faucet and heard some water running, looked down and saw it running on the floor and started yelling that we had a leak. I didn't have any shoes on so by the time I got outside to shut the water off we had a nice little stream running toward the front of the M/H. Pipe cracked at an elbow leading to the intake part of the hot water heater. Fortunately it's easily accessible. There was a shut off valve in front of the broken elbow so at least we have water..............just no hot water. Gotta decide now whether to see if Winnebago dealer has time to fix it tomorrow or just call a mobile rv repairman. It'd be a PIA to have to unhook and then drive it across the river to Portland, plus it'd be about a 60+ or so mile round trip. Will figure it out in the morning.

Yesterday evening we joined Dug, Tami and Twerps for dinner at Ikea (whoever heard of going to a furniture store for dinner???). It was "Rib Night" and I gotta admit the food was pretty good.........at least for a furniture store. Might even have to go back.

Another sunny day today and we ran a few errands, filled a prescription and then went shopping for a new computer for "B". Checked Costco and then stopped at Best Buy in Oregon.........no sales tax there. We looked at a bunch of them and found a Toshiba that would fill the bill and reasonably priced. Decided to get a new printer also and of course Becky had to have a new mouse. Then the salesman went to get the computer and found out that they didn't have any in stock!! The computer, according to the salesman, had arrived less than a week ago. He said we could pay for it there and then drive to their Jantzen Beach store to pick it up. I told him to piss off............if we had to go to another store we'd buy everything there. Hope he's on commission.

Looks like Becky's new computer is on hold until we get the leak fixed and then if there's time before the bridge traffic gets backed up we'll head to Jantzen Beach.

That was our day..............later. W&B
