Another day waiting for Rodger. He was supposed to be ready by 4pm but he wasn’t. I was starting to worry a bit as if he wasn’t ready today, we’d have nowhere to stay as the hotel was booked out!

I managed to get a video finished and uploaded for Saturday so that was something.

At 6pm we finally got the call that Rodger was ready.

The first thing I noticed when Mike started him was how smooth he was running. Since we broke down on Vancouver island, he’d been idling a bit rough and a bit louder than normal. Mike also noticed he’d used more water. So it was just as well we had him checked.

The next thing Mike noticed was the steering. It was suddenly tight and not flopping all over the place. It seems like the steering had always been an issue.

And it’s good to know the shocks are done, as this was something I knew we’d need to tackle at some point.

We’re heading off again tomorrow over a winding mountain road to Lake Tahoe.
