Tiger run

Another busy week on the front range. All the crews are done with the house. It has been patched up, touched up and spruced up. The kids came by and we all said our goodbyes to it. It went on the market yesterday.

At the same time, we had two Jeep repair days, and four motorhome repair days. Got lots of stuff done. Didn’t get everything done. The twice-yearly oil change was easy. We got a slide latch replaced. After a pause to let the proper parts get shipped, that was easy. The hydrohot got its annual service and some parts replaced. The dash air was a little more difficult. There was more to it than fixing a leak and replacing the coolant. They decided the condenser and the compressor both needed to be replaced. Couldn’t get those parts in time, so we left before the job was finished. We’ll watch for one more opportunity in the next three weeks to swing by the front range to finish the repair before we head south for the winter.

Spending the night at Tiger Run RV Resort outside Breckenridge. Go Longhorns. Go CU. CU has a brand new quarterback, a red-shirt freshman. Last week, with CU behind in the fourth quarter, the announcers had to say, “This quarterback doesn’t know how to lose”. “Right”, I thought, “Announcer hyperbole.” Then they went on to explain that the quarterback hadn’t lost a game since sixth grade. He was 59 and 0 coming into the opening game of the college season. CU came back to win in the fourth quarter. Cody Hawkins. 60 and 0.

We like Tiger Run. We’ve been meaning to stop and stay here for years; and just now finally managed to. Nine thousand feet high; we’re cooler than we’ve been lately. Got the rig washed. Got the cow snot rinsed off the Jeep. It’s all good.
