Well it's been a week and there's not much to report. I resumed working on Monday. Why not? No reason to burn vacation hours just sitting in an RV park. We can't really go anywhere or see anything because every second the truck engine runs is one second closer to complete failure and then we'd really be stuck and at the mercy of delivery services. If I were of normal size instead of a 6' 10" giant that's built like an overweight NFL lineman, I'd just rent a car. Well I assume there is a car rental place here somewhere. But whether there is or not is irrelevant as I just do not fit in any vehicles any more. About 3 years ago when deciding between buying a new truck or fixing the old, I went to the local automall and "tried on" trucks from Ford, Dodge, and GMC. I couldn't even get into a Ford and close the door. The Dodge had a little more room but not enough to actually drive it. The GMC models had the most room. I probably could drive them a few miles to the grocery store but there was no way I could drive them much further than that. Sometimes it's hell being 6' 10" in a 5' 10" world...
I have made a few runs with the truck. Picked up a pizza on Sunday. Ran a few errands on Monday, getting a propane tank filled and stopping by WalMart for some much needed groceries and other household items. We didn't really bring much in the way of food with us as we planned to just shop when we arrived in Colorado. The truck still sounds the same and I just hope it keeps going until the new engine arrives.

To keep ourselves entertained, we stream TV via a Verizon 4G hotspot and we play dominos. We consider a tournament to be the best three out of five games.
