THE BRIDGE IS SAFE!! BUT OUR RV IS STILL NOT A MAYTAG

Just a quick update.... we made it through the tunnel and across the bridge!  Bessy is fine, though Shade Tree Dave is only 1 for 3... We can now access all our gears, though the indicator is useless.  The new brake sensor did not fix the anti lock brakes.  I guess Dave's career as a Maytag repairman is somewhat in jeopardy!!  He is researching "professional help" in Boston.  After my last post we've heard from those who are concerned about our safety.  Dave assures me that these problems are more of an inconvenience than a concern.

Meanwhile we enjoyed our day on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.  We explored the towns of Cape Charles and Onacock and settled in for the evening on Chincotesgue  Island.  Tomorrow we hope to take a boat tour around the islands and see wild ponies.  Then it is on to Lum's Pond in Deleware to visit with Emily's college roommate, Kris and her husband Rob and son Gage.  

Some answers to the "burning" questions:

• Will the anti-lock brakes work?  We'll let you know when we go 20 miles/hr. or less tomorrow...nope!
• Will we have more than forward and reverse?... Probably, but we will only know which gear by feel (and this IS an automatic!!). That's how it happened!
• Will the rest of the parts on our NON MAYTAG RV get jealous of  ALL of the new parts being installed and the attention to the obsolete ones?  Is there a mutiny of parts on the horizon?  Probably!
• How soundly will Shade Tree Dave sleep?  Will we wake up for the sunrise?

Can you tell the difference between a sunrise picture and a sunset picture?  I'll never tell!!

• Will we get across the Bay Bridge?.... stay tuned for that one...   WE MADE IT
• When will Deb see Ella in her dress?  Hopefully a Skype on Saturday!!
• And finally... what DID Clay hear in his house?  this is the BIG mystery... Clay did you find the hum?

STAY TUNED
