Is not like the others.
The motorhome is back
We took it to Holt Cat in Edinburg to find the reason for the sputter at 65 mph. They rose to the challenge. They found a bad fuel regulator, a loose grounding cable, a bad fuel check valve, and a cut wire in the wiring harness. Maybe only one of those was causing our problem, but of course they fixed everything. I took it for a test drive. It felt pretty good. I think they got it. It’s a short drive from the repair shop back to our place at Sandpipers, so we haven’t had it on an extended trip yet, but this is promising. They spent a lot of time chasing our problem, so it wasn’t cheap, but I know they gave us a break on the hours too. They were determined to make it run right and I think they did. A real road trip is the only way to be completely sure, but we’ve been a little too involved in other stuff to accomplish that yet. Maybe in a week or two.
The outside of this golf cart
Looks plain.
I think it needs a hood ornament. It’s already kind of University of Texas orange. Maybe some giant chrome Longhorns on the front…

They take a slice of tissue from the side of your face, in front of your ear. They only need a little chunk, but they make a long slice so they can close the wound without making a big pucker. From this slice of skin, they trim off all the excess (there was some conversation about having enough left over for sushi) until they have a plug just the right size to repair the damage to the side of the nose. The plug goes in place, everything gets stitched up, and we’re done. Two bandages on each face. Now we’ve each had cosmetic surgery. Women do this for fun? I think I’ll stick with birding. Or maybe I can go play racquetball and get hit in the face with a racquet.
Mohs surgery
They take out as little tissue as possible, while getting all the skin cancer. They start with a chunk about the size of a pencil eraser and go do lab work on it. That takes about two hours. If there is any cancer in the edges of the chunk, they go back and chase it across your face with subsequent excisions until the edges are clean. They got all of Judy’s on the first try. It took a couple tries to get all of mine.
We’re through with that part. All our edges are clean. Tomorrow, skin grafts to plug the holes they made.
