After a late night and early morning, we finally got the rest of the packing done...sort of. As usual, once it gets close to the "AIS" (a$$ in seat) time, we toss stuff into tubs, find a spot on the floor in the camper and leave it until we get to Carlyle for the night.
Al left first while Marilyn had a few last minute errands to look after...getting the new brake controller working was one of them. We took the new one for a test and discovered it didn't do a thing...not good for a camper of that size, so Marilyn took it back to where it had been installed and was informed that it was a problem in the trailer wiring. No biggie...the engine brake would do until we could find time to chase down the problem.
Al was already in Carlyle when Marilyn called on the radio to let him know that there was a bit of a problem with one of the tires on the camper...it was smoking and it had pretty much shredded to pieces. Quite a lovely flower... Orders were to try and limp it to the casino and wait.
Al had been having lunch, so once he was done, he came up with a few tools and in no time at all had the tire changed. Back in Carlyle it had rained a bit so we decided to leave the combine at the motel and just take the camper out to the yard. Once we had gotten there and got parked, Marilyn finished putting things away while Al watched the final hockey game of the season...his Penn's won.
Tomorrow we cross the border...we hope...
