Short, pictureless update...

Tuesday during the night I smelled propane gas, so we packed up and went to a Motel 6. Next day got a mobile rv tech (with great reviews), Gene Kelley, to come out to the motorhome. He said we didn't have a leak at all, but I was sure I could smell it, so he probed around a bit more with his very sensitive wand-type device...and eventually found "the tiniest leak I've ever seen." Told us not to worry--that the leak was so small we should just keep using it until the propane tank was empty, then have a small valve replaced. Not to worry.

Today was another great day in the desert! We visited a local bike shop which carries recumbent trikes. However, Leah's back was still sore from a fall on an icy parking lot several days ago, so she wasn't going to try to ride any. Well...after about 15 minutes, she was tooling around the parking lot sporting the now-familiar 'recumbent grin'. Found one she liked (Greenspeed), but not up to snuff in the gear department.

Also dumped and dewinterized. Yeah, we have running water!

We've had great food: Pei Wei, On the Border, Cracker Barrel... and several more. Jazzy went to the hairdresser and she looks great. This afternoon, a walk in the desert and an encounter with 4 or 5 coyotes! Leah was hilarious--and we have it on video. But, darn it, can't get Windows to recognize the video file type used by my phone, so can't post!! I'll figure it out, but it will take some time.

Anyway, we're both well and having a terrific time. Leah's back is much better. We should be on our way to Quartzsite on Saturday.

Wish I could post pictures and video but having technical difficulties. Please stand by.

Hope everyone is healthy and enjoying life,

Leah and Richard
