Stopped at the grocery store for a few goodies, then to Ron and Diana's rig for Farkle games. Back to rig by 4:30 so we could pay our bill and get ready to take off in the morning.

Well finally got on the road at noon. Had been ready before that but the hood clips they had installed on the Dodge didn't stay so they reworked those. Then J spotted the back trim piece has come unglued, so they screwed it in. Then:
12:45 pm- loop 1604 around n of SanAn to get to I-10 - gridlock - 1 hr 15 min - 4 miles...they were
putting up new large green highway signs. Egads...5 lanes into 1 just was a nightmare.
3:30 PM making good progress finally - beautiful sun - hadn't seen it since we left
FL! Tire blew tread...right side front this time - one of the two older tires which
Discount Tire had looked at when we were in FL and bought 6 new --said these
looked fine. Messed up underside of RV and blew off our new indoor/outdoor
thermometer which J had finally cable tied onto the underside of the steps.
Changed tire - back on road - lost another 45 min. Finally stopped at 5 pm
- Jerry was so p..... Found pizza hut for supper. I waited for it while he
parked in the hut/comfort inn parking lot nearby. Had a beer and two pieces of
pizza and went to bed to read... Thoroughly discouraged and disgusted.
Sunday, January 6, 2013 (My Mom's birthday - 1909)
Well, at least we have sun and 29 degrees this am in Sonora, TX. Frost on
the ground. I was up at 5:15 - didn't want to run generator as we're kind of close to
inn rooms. Used what battery I had on 'puter and on cell to check QCT, aol and play words. Then
put one light on and read my book. J up about 8:15.
Its Sunday, don't know if we will be able to find a tire but don't want to
go on road w/o a spare. I'm ready to call this RVing quits...sick of the problems....
Hope you have a great day! Hugs and love to all.
