Weave, Tunnel & Jump

Sandy and John talked about two possible visits here in Dallas, visit the Bureau of Printing and Engraving or visit the 6th Floor Museum and Dealey plaza. We chose the museum even though Sandy has been there twice, she said she would be interested to see it again.

We set out for the museum this morning but along the way saw a Honda dealer and decided to talk to them about the emergency brake issue on the CRV. When we stopped at the dealer John checked the rear brake rotors and determined this wasn’t just a brake pad issue, the rotors would probably also need to be replaced. The dealer told us to come back at 1:00PM and they would check the car and see if there was a problem.

We then decided to explore an alternate route out of Denton and Dallas and then we returned to the campground to drop off Sandy. John took the CRV back to the Honda dealer and waited for their diagnosis; they confirmed what John was thinking so parts are ordered and the car goes in for an operation tomorrow morning. The cost will raise hell with our budget but good brakes are kind of important (tongue in cheek), so John will eat a lot of bologna sandwiches for a while.

When John got back to the campground we decided to set up KoKo’s agility course and let her blow off some steam. The weave poles, tunnel and jump were set up and Sandy put that little dog through it’s paces. KoKo loves to run the course and her big reward for a successful course is her ball. We downloaded plans for this equipment and John cut and assembled the PVC pipe for the weave and jump, it breaks down into a fairly small bag.

Due to the repairs of the CRV we have extended our stay here at Denton so we will stay here for two more nights; we will try to get down to the 6th floor museum.

Our reward for a job well done, sound asleep!
