California

Monday.

A morning visit with Tom and Kathy, and a late start. We just needed to
make it to somewhere in Nevada today. We stopped at Winnemucca. The High
Desert RV Park. Not a destination RV Park, but a nice overnighter along the
way. Now all four brothers have stayed here at one time or another.

Spoke with Jacob. He says not to hurry. They're home with the baby, Erin.
She's sleeping in a crib in their room, and they're still working on
adjusting to the baby being here already. We'll check in with them later in
the week to see how they're doing.

Figured out how to make the sliding closet doors in the back work better;
not perfect, I'll have to replace a broken roller for perfect, but much
better.

Before we met up with Tom, I had figured out why the vanity lights had quit
working and I replaced them. We figured out why the side door was
squeaking, and how to lubricate it to make it quiet. Strong cross-winds
would cause the outside rear view mirror housings to rotate out of range.
Found the set-screws and bought the right tool to use to put a stop to that.
Next up, replace a broken fitting for the driver's side windshield washer.
And then there is that window that creaks right next to my head when we're
driving on a rough road. A rough road, like, say, concrete without joiners.
Houses always need attention, don't they.
