NJ may be getting ice & snow & wind, but the Johns were out and about in Cousin John's dump truck with the snow plow on the front. After all, "the beast" was waiting for new parts, John & Judy are trying to get rid of us before spring thaw, and John & Patty WOULD like to make it to Louisiana by Sunday.The good news was the part came in this morning. The bad news was it had an extra "something" attached to the side. The good news was they didn't cut it off. Another mechanic from down the street was able to tell them the "bad" part we had was jury-rigged in the first place and the new one should work IF the "something" was attached.
Anyway, the Johns are off attacking and attaching and hopefully getting "the beast" running again. In the meantime, Judy & Patty are napping and cooking and staying cozy in front of the fire. Not a bad division of labor.
