Today is really the 10 Th of December but had an email problem. Just got back from Ann Arbor blood draw and a 3 hour infusion from 6 to 8 pm boy do I feel full not sure what they put in me I just get to the area and they stick a needle in and wait until its done. since I continue to have weakness and balance problems I now have to go to PT twice a week plus my once a week check so at least 2 trips a week. The rest of the week we are on our own but exercise twice a day of course that will start tomorrow.
trip continued:
We continue our trip at the bottom of the big hill into Shiprock New Mexico where Elmer saved the bus. We found the mission we were going to work at. We got there just in time for church the mission is in the middle of the Four Corners Reservation and we are working on adding on to the church so the work begins Monday much work was completed with most kids working hard the ones that wouldn't work are now in jail so use that as a lesson. Sharen who took responsibility for health and made all the kids keep using sun screen which prevented sun burns. Some of the adults ignored the sun screen advice took off shirts and developed an incredible sun burn sun is different in New Mexico as we found out. One of the Kids got something in their eye so we took her to the reservation hospital Sharen and the kid waited 5 to 6 hours before they would see them. Some of the experiences were incredible with people we met and some of the side trips. About the middle of the week I finely got the ambition to climb under the bus to check the clutch just to make sure things were OK so under the bus with Dwayne and my self within 5 minutes we found the clutch pivot, which goes from the engine to the bus frame, the bolt, that is the pivot point had lost the nut and was just hanging there so our trip over the mountains was run with the clutch just hanging there which in the mountains could have been very bad. We were going with God. The last change for the bus was to change the radiator to a heavy duty one. After that the temperature gage stayed on normal. The plan was to take time going home and stop off at Church's to stay for the night and most stops had a side trip for us the one I remember was a trip to the top of Pikes Peak by cog train to help us feel comfortable the conductor announced the train had 6 back up break systems and if they all fail at the bottom of the track was a giant spring to help stop the train. That would be Colorado Springs. All this is memories however our bus has ended up on a pig farm taking pigs to market what a sad ending for a wonderful bus. This trip brings back many good memories of younger days 1986 now I'm older and all the kids that went are grown up with families and making their way in life.
