Toodling down I-20 in the rain today by Fort Worth, TX and the windshield cracks from top to bottom. There were no apparent road hazard hits so don't know what is up with that. Then 100 miles further- in Dallas- there was a new loud noise that sounded like it was on the roof. So we stopped to see what the deal was. Turns out it was the satellite again. This time the zip tie that the installer used to hold the front of the base to the roof mounting bracket had broken. That's right- zip tie. The bolt had sheared off at an earlier time and the repair was a giant zip tie. Jim managed to get a nut under the bracket and ran a stove bolt down and got it threaded and tight enough to hold it down. That only took an hour soooo we are happy to have a few more days for this trip to redneck heaven. The only good point was that it was not raining during this repair. It had been raining the previous six hours. We drove by the turn off for the Texas Speedway, where the race is this weekend. It is straight north of Fort Worth. The Nationwide race is delayed for today and may even be postponed. We will have to see.
We got the last spot at the planned RV stop for today. And two homemade cookies! This park will get a good review...but there is a big tree that will have to get moved before we can get out easily!!
That's the fun for today.
