Morning update

  

This morning's view.

 

The bus came back to life just after midnight last night.  It needed a new ECM alright.  The ECM is a nice clean computer part, but some of the connections for it were hidden underneath behind dirty parts.  The change-out required hours of working underneath the engine of the bus by flashlight and headlights in the rain.  Our guy stuck with it and the new computer was functioning well enough the bus would run again.  He followed us the four miles up the road to a parking pullout where we spent the night to make sure we got there, then he headed off for the one more emergency call he had to make that night.  Wow.

We were in a place we could open a couple slides and spent a comfortable remainder of the night, being able to shower and sleep in our own bed.  We ran the generator and air conditioning all night and got a good night's sleep.  Now we're going back into Corpus Christi to meet George so he can get our new computer calibrated to our coach so not only will it run right, but all the gauges will work properly as well.

 

Tonight, maybe Choke Canyon?
