Finally we have truck parts!!

It's been a long wait for truck parts...nothing like poor Jim anticipating burning the midnight oil to get things done before we leave again.  It was getting very stressful - the weather hasn't been real cooperative and this will be an enormous job standing outside in the cold to put everything back together.  But the forecast showed nice weather for today and through part of Easter so we were desperate to get parts back so that Jim could get busy.

Our plan is to go back to New York over my spring break - which it is now officially spring break.  Originally, we were going to leave Monday and had hotel reservations through Friday.  However, the shop has had the head since Jim got it out and just today got finished with it so that Jim could pick it up.  So...plans are made to be changed so if all goes well, we will leave on Wednesday.  That will give us a couple days to check out the apartment, find a storage unit, unload all of the stuff on the truck...as well as talk to the well driller, electric company...  Okay, maybe that won't be enough time but we'll do the best we can with whatever time we have!

But anyway...Jim picked up the head before lunch today and is very happy with the job they did.  It looks like new!

All fixed and spiffied up!

I went to see my mom today since I had the day off - I knew we wouldn't have a chance to get down for Easter.  It was a nice day and it was so good to see her!

But while I was visiting, Jim started putting everything back together on the truck.  Here's the head back in the truck!  Lots more work to be done tomorrow!
