For all my readers who are emailing me, please know that I am receiving your mail but am unable to send out replies for some sad reason. I am now in a cafe in downtown St. Augustine, FL using their wireless system but my outgoing mail seems blocked.
Bashey and I had a harrowing experience on the way up here the other day. We were enjoying the ride but I needed some lunch so I stopped at a station, ran in to get a sandwich. When I restarted the MH, the brake pedal went to the floor and a warning light came on the dash. I pumped on the pedal a bit and got some pressure back but then it went right down to the floor with a thump. Pumped on it again while I debated what I should do. Decided to try to limp along for the next 2 hours to St. Augustine since I was in the middle of no where on Rt. 20. I had an emergency stop plan if I should need it but as I moved slowly on without using the brakes except when absolutely necessary. I used the transmission more and stayed back away from others. Plus I had the car braking system. Not that those brakes would stop a 21,000# vehicle. When I got here and met Ralph, we decided to call the Workhorse Chassis people. They told me there was still a full warranty on my chassis until May and felt the brakes were dragging and then building up heat to a boiling point. They called a large tow truck and found a Workhorse certified repair shop up in Jacksonville, FL. Bearfoot is up there now and I don't know when it will be back on the road. Supposed to move up to GA on Wed. this week so hope I can go. In the meantime, we are sightseeing and enjoying this historic city. The weather is cool but sunny.
My heart goes out to my friends who have just allowed their beloved Sis to pass over to a better place. What joy Sis brought to everyone she greeted.
Congratulations to the new Great Grandparents of Boston Emory. Can't believe you all are great grand parents. Picture of babe looks like his mom.
