Visiting Auntie Violet

When we drove around the back of Uhlmann's RV today to stop by Auntie Violet, she wasn't there! She had been moved to inside the shop! The slide was out and the bay beneath was pulled out so than Len could climb in and work --

All of the parts are finally here and the repairs have begun!

This little hydraulic cylinder is the one that blew its seal, that Len is replacing! It's amazing to think that one like this on each side of the slide is all that holds it up.


The fellows were going to go up on top to see if they could find the source of the leak Forry spotted yesterday, but they said there was a good inch of ice up there! They were definitely going to let it melt before they went looking.

The sun was out today -- the snow just sparkled -- but, it was really cold. It's supposed to stay this way for at least one more day. Sister Roxy sent a note saying the electricity was out last night at their house again. It's back on this morning at their place, but I guess some of the islands especially are still out of power.
