Another day sitting in the motel.

I wake up at 5 am and think that I should have asked if the bus company if they were working on both sides. I didn't get back to sleep after that thought.

Finally at 10:30 I call the shop to get an updated. Parts did ship last night but they have not received them. They also don't have anyone who can work on it until after noon. Without asking directly I did find out that they have replaced the seals on both sides. Whew ...

At about 11 we decide will will walk down to Cheddars. We can see it from the window so it's not that far.But we have to cross over two frontage roads and under the freeway. We are in no hurry so we just wait until there is a break. But we hadn't looked at street view or ariel photos. There is a 'creek' that didn't have a walkway over it. No shoulder. The creek looked more like a spillway, wide with tall grass but I didn't see any water except under the bridge. The ground seemed solid but we decided not to chance it.

Instead we walk back to Rudy's BBQ. Set up like a fast food place, order at the counter and bus your own tables. Food was good. I had ribs and BB had the turkey. For sides we had creamed corn, potato salad and cole slaw.

At 1:30 I call the shop, still no parts. So I text my contact at the bus company ... the parts will SHIP today. So we are here for another day.

After our big lunch we finally order our next meal at about 6 PM. We go with Panera. Their online app allows us to track the car as it makes multiple deliveries. They are out of the Cuban so I go with the steak and cheese, with soup.

Finally see the diaries on Ebay.

These four walls are getting closer together ;)
