Helicopter at a Gas station

Our westward trek continues and it seems we are still leaving water in our wake as we here from our friends and see on the news that within 48 hours of us being somewhere it rains.
We drove from the cut off to Watonga off hwy 40 in OK  to New Mexico...rain was due there today....we shall see. And rain is due here in Tucumcari in the next cou9le of days....a few storms hit around us. The winds are crazy tonight.

On our drive we saw a full helicopter (rotors aligned) on a semi at a gas station.  We also saw a goodly number of military vehicles (over 100) drive past us along the way. I wanted to stop at the Chik fi la in Amarillo but we were in a sorta hurry today.
You see our fleet is aging. The rv would be hard pressed to pull a tailer all over tarnation anymore and being 13 years old it is ready to become some local fisherman's rig. The van got a new transmission last year but now is showing signs of a vacuum leak that is causing the aircon to default from coming out the vents to coming out the defroster. The hoses I need to check are in impossible to check places so we will hope for the best that is doesn't get bigger and cause engine trouble....the boys are only pulling the
Big tailer over the Rockies tomorrow......
Everyone is doing well. We are feeling the pressure of two less in the troupe. But reports from Miles and CC are all good.
