What's next?


Put in a rebuilt power steering pump last Thursday. Was leaking. Installed a transmission cooler to help with the temps in high 90's and going up Mtn's. Drained the transmission pan put in a new filter and 5 qts oil. Drained the coolant and put in the 5 year stuff.
Have eliminated about 140# of stuff we didn't need in the RV and watching every ounce we put back in. We have only added about 160#'s, so were only up 20#'s or so. Plus the trailer and bike of about 1100#'s. I've eliminated 2 of the 3 rails for bikes. Each was 29#'s and had flat (wind resistant) channels. Replaced with much lighter wood for my feet for balancing the bike in the center channel/rail, which I'm staining and varnishing.
Going to Glendale AZ to be with my sister and brother in law in July. We want to go to the White Mtn's in east AZ and the Magallon Mtn's in western NM later this month. The Cat Walk is there too.
Worked on my Red 92 Suzuki 1100. Bad spark plug, very frustrating trying to figure what was wrong.
Linda's Aunt Mary, 3 cousins (John, Sue, Shelly) and his wife, Miriam, were here Friday-Sunday, very much fun people. In pool twice (our 3rd time this yr). They went El Paso site seeing, shopping, "Viva El Paso" and to Carlsbad caverns.
Want to replace the fuel filter and change out the differential fluid on the RV next.
Just read that many people in the world recognize the shape of the GREAT STATE OF... (where?) in the pic.
