Furnace Repaired

Waco, Texas

Weather: low 32 degrees in Glen Rose, Texas, high 70 degrees in Waco, Texas, clear skies

We awoke to a cold morning, with a low temperature of 32 degrees. Normally, a temperature like that is not a concern for us. This morning, however, our furnace finally bit the dust. It would not come on at all. In an attempt to stay warm, we turned on both of our little electric heaters and put a couple of pots of water on the stove. It started warming up inside, and then the sun came up and started warming the outside. Soon, it was toasty and we were comfortable.

I took Carolyn to the Glen Rose Medical Center for the two tests she had performed today. The preliminary reports are that everything looks good, but we will not know for sure until the doctor reviews the results. While she was having her tests, I went back to the RV and waited on the RV serviceman to come back and repair the furnace. He received the new electronics board about noon. The new board was installed and the furnace worked as expected. It looks like we are ready for cold weather.

After the furnace was repaired and I settled up with the repairman, I went back to Glen Rose and picked up Carolyn. She finished with her tests early enough that we decided to hook up the RV to the truck and move down the road about 65 miles to Waco. We told Jerry and Joyce, the owners of Midway Pines RV Park, and Denise, another of our friends goodbye and headed south.

The trip over to Waco was uneventful, and we pulled into the Speegleville Corps of Engineers campground about an hour later. This campground is a very nice place to stay, and we have 3G speed for our air card, which is how we connect to the Internet. We'll stay here overnight and drive on to Bay City, where our daughter Lori and her family live.

More later, be safe.
