It’s like deja vu
What can I say? I feel like we are back in Las Vegas waiting for engine parts.
Ciela was laying flat on her stomach.
Had I been the one ordering the sensor for the rv engine it would have arrived Thursday. Colin asked for it to be expedited 😐 not sure what that means. I would have insisted on overnight. So as of this afternoon the part is somewhere in some Kenworth shop 😯
Colin gifted me with this last week. Love it.
If the part arrives by Tuesday we hope that it can be installed at the latest end of day Wednesday. Then there is the windshield, the glass company is still without staff. He sounded so dejected on the phone. All he said to us at end of today was to call him when we could get the RV to him and he will try and do the best he can. The window is very heavy and special scaffolding needs to be set up, etc. So perhaps we will get the RV end of day Thursday.
Most wonderful hour of my life in the past few weeks. I learnt something new and we were able to converse. Colleen taught me how to video talk via Messenger. So very easy. I never could never figure out FaceTime. I can hardly wait to see mi amiga especial.
One new thing is that Colin told me today that the crack is in the very top left corner of the windshield. It is a curve no longer than seven inches from the top to the left. The important thing I found out is that the crack is on the inside of the window. You can feel it with your finger. Usually cracks are on the outer side of the windshield.
A neighbour out enjoying the most wonderful October that we are having. Sun, heat and no rain.
We are still enjoying our garden but for some reason the carrots were wonky this season.
My question to you is, would we be able to travel with that crack safely? Would it help to have the inside crack repaired with a UV-activated epoxy and resin? What about using Gorilla glue on the crack? These are serious questions that I am asking and would really value your advice or even an opinion.
Everyday I fall more and more in love with our chocolates.
The park here recently changed the rules and we are no longer allowed to put the RV out front for more than two nights, it used to be three nights which was much better. Someone must have complained, not about us but others. So we had planned to put the RV out front this weekend and start loading and then back in storage for a few days. Obviously that is not going to happen. I am going to ask permission to please allow us ( under the circumstances ) at least three nights may even four nights. Because so much is up in the air we have held back from ordering our Mexican liability in surname and a few other things. If they can’t repair the RV we will be spending the winter here. We are not in the position of purchasing even a used RV. So I really need you all to keep your fingers crossed and to send positive thoughts our way. Hopefully by end of day Tuesday we should have an idea of the que pasa of our RV.
Obviously they love each other.
In other news I was able to get my fourth booster yesterday which was the Moderna bivalent vaccine. The Pfizer bivalent was only approved for use in Canada today. The way the system works here in BC, Canada is that invitations are sent out by email to the oldest, those with compromised immune system and then those under 90, then 85, 80 etc. I know people over 85 who have not yet received an invite. So I called the BC 1 800 Covid number and explained that we were leaving in two weeks and how can I get that fourth booster. I was simply asked what day and what time would I like 😯 This vaccine is not mandatory. I was there yesterday at the vaccine clinic and was surprised to see so many professionals waiting to give the vaccine and very very few people in attendance. FYI my last vaccine was just over 3 months ago so if you want the vaccine make a call and reserve your time slot. Colin decided to pass on this particular booster. We all have to do what is right for ourselves. I am not a fan of vaccines and have never had the flu shot nor the shingles shot and have never had either. However Covid to me is an entire new direction.
Sunset on the Isla last evening. I can hardly wait. Thank you Dallas.
Today we went to my wonderful hairdresser who works out of her home and she cut hair for both of us and I got my haired coloured, I am going darker. The girls love going there, Tana is our executor and she also gets the girls should something happen to both of us.
Mother Nature treated us tonight.

Given where the crack is located in the windshield- perhaps consider coating the area with a reinforcement (epoxy?) & a clear tape- have the replacement done when return from Mexico.Definitely confer with the glass guy & see what he can suggest- as long as the crack can be confined & not migrate y’all should be good to go-Enjoy!All the best.
Thank you for your input. Really appreciate it. We are beginning to think about waiting and only doing it when we return.
Sonny and I got our boosters 2 weeks ago and we’re notified by text.
As to the windshield I would call a glass shop and ask those questions…can you get it fixed in Vegas? Hope the parts get here! ????
Bill swears by this product Bob Smith Industries Inc. Insta-Cure+- It is a gap filling glue Cyanoacrylate
He says it will work on windshield…. Amazon has it.
Hey my friend… The saga of the RV continues. You have the patience of a saint. I hope that all can be resolved regarding the windshield and that you can safely leave BC and head out on the road towards Mexico. Let’s try to have another little visit on messenger before you leave. Short and sweet and a glimpse of each other before we do so in Mexico. (Fingers and toes crossed for all to go well)
