I am waaay behind, and will go back to read everything that's been going on around here when I get the chance. Just wanted to thank everyone for all of your thoughts and good wishes for Jim's surgery. Surgery went well. We had to be there at 9:00 yesterday morning. Silly me, I thought I'd be hanging around for the day. We got there early, and they let me stay in the waiting room with Jim, until they promptly took him to pre-op for his 11:00 surgery. I had to then go back home (about 1/2 hour from hospital). The surgeon called me around 1:00 and said all went well, but he couldn't believe the damage Jim had to his knee. Anyway, the surgeon said Jim would be in recovery for about 2 hours or so. I wound up calling the hospital after 4 to see if Jim was admitted to his room, and was told he was still in recovery. Jim finally called me at 5:00 to tell me he was in his room. He looked good, and we were told he could possibly be going home Tuesday, if his rehab went well. I talked to Jim this morning, and even though he hadn't started rehab yet, he felt that he'd be coming home with me today. So, here's hoping. If not today, tomorrow is another day. (I actually wouldn't mind if it was tomorrow, since we're going to be getting heavy rain, and it looks like it's about to begin). So..a big thanks to you all. You guys are the Best!!❤️ So happy that the surgery went well and he will be home soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping (hopping-hehe) he will be home later today. 🌼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just called and can't get it it act up, which....IIMHO...is worse than if they found something. Bucky off on his walk, and will go down there to get it out on the highway to check it out. So if it is not broke when they get it...nothing to fix. Gulp...wonder what it was? Maybe bad fuel, or carboned up...not sure. It did sit all summer. Sure don't want it acting up when we get all the way across the state. 😮 How frustrating. I hope they figure it out and you can get on the road soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to see if it would act up...is the RV service term for trying to see if it would run bad, like what we experienced when we first tried to take it down the highway first day we left, and were only 3 miles from the house. It would not go over 40 miles an hour down the 70 mile an hour speed limit highway. And was acting like it was about to totally shut down. When the RV service people checked it, .....it was running fine. We are all clueless. Can't fix what is not apparently broken now. Bucky just called as he is taking it down the interstate highway right now. He said so far, it is running well, just like before the problem we had. Could be bad fuel (from sitting so long all summer) or dirt in the fuel line, or carboned up (all my guess work). Whatever it was seems to have mysteriously disappeared. Just hope it continues to run well through our trip for the next 4 weeks, then get it back home and sell it. 😮😉 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted September 28, 2021 #31748 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) I've been traveling back and forth between Boise and Spokane for the last couple of weeks and have decided that this is where I retire. It is absolutely gorgeous. Low, low crime, inexpensive property and I think I like small town living too. As long as I have access to a decent larger town within a reasonable driving distance, that is. Full retirement is still a ways away but semi retirement seems it might just be right around the corner though. I'm getting weary. I've found a couple little towns in the middle of nowhere here with populations between 1000 and 2000 but within an hour of Lewiston and 3 hours of Spokane. I'm thinking maybe buying land now and use it with the RV occasionally until then. Maybe summer up here... and CA or cruise in winter. Now just have to convince DW. 🙂 Edited September 28, 2021 by Tree_skier 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
