Today is our fourth day in Tucumcari. We got some lukewarm news from the repair shop where we were supposed to take the truck. We had a deal with them to bring the truck in today so they could take out the transmission in preparation for the flywheel replacement. According to that plan, once the part was delivered in the morning the replacement would take place and a few hours later we would be back on our way.
There seems to be an alternate plan at the shop now. I will take the truck in tomorrow morning and the work will begin. I am worried additional parts might be required and there is no way to tell until the tranny comes out so we may be stranded here for longer than we thought.
Tucumcari is not a particularly stimulating environment other than being windy. We have internet access for 10 hours a day, the phone works, the satellite TV works and we have a lot of food although we are our of milk for Peg’s coffee. It could be worse. We could be in an even more rustic environment than here. Maybe.
