Jim and Nick are spending one more night in CT as they wait for the van in MA. The mechanic has fixed all of the things that failed, broke or loosened due to the soon to be identified master problem. Now since the catalytic converter is changed and the injectors cleaned up and adjusted and a sensor or two replaced there is still a problem with compression in two cylinders. It runs but roughly and that's better than it did a couple of days ago.....more to come.
Princess Olivia turned 4 today. We went shopping and she got skates, a camera (for kids), and a sundry list of other smaller things. She also got a couple of cute outfits at the mall.
We confirmed we will be back in Calico this October. (last two weekends.)
We will be at the Tri-county fair in Winnemucca this Sat. and Sun. But without our sound guy and without Jim. We have worked without them before but we are going to miss them.
The last 2 and half days have been insane with clean up from the summer tour and preparations for Nevada. Also Cynthia will have surgery on her Achilles tendon this month so she may be out of a few shows. And Victor Jr is still a couple of weeks from being free of his brace. What a motley crew we are. We may have to make some changes in our tour. I will keep you all informed.
Maine was great. We ate lobster, blueberries, and drank Moxie. And we visted two light houses.
Prices were cheaper in Maine and somehow it was less oppressive than the rest of New England. It was open and clear. Houses were normal not super perfect...some even need a paint job. The people we polite and kind. I loved the older Maine-iacs accent...sounded like that old Peperedge Farms commercial spokesman.
