May 26-29 A staycation in Tucumcari

Tucumcari, New Mexico sounds as exotic as Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, doesn't it? Well, it's not. We spent a month there over memorial day weekend. It was high school graduation weekend there, so our diesel mechanic, who came very highly recommended, shut down the shop for three days so he could attend his grandson's ceremony, party, and who knows what else. We tried to make the best of it, and Pam tried to pacify the caged animal ( me), but there is just not much going on in town. I did maintenance that was needed on the bike, we took walks, we ate at some good restaurants, we went to Ute Lake two times, ( one to check it out, once to swim and sunbathe). We even went to a museum. I paced alot.
We took the Rv in first thing Tuesday morning, and they worked on it all day, updating the computer with like 37 updates (since 2009), regenerating a filter ( don't ask), changing out some actuators, changing the air filter, replacing a cap of some sort,etc. Finally, our stay in Tucumcari could come to an end, and it looks more and more like I will not be able to make the entire ride to Pennsylvania, because of time constraints. But, I am ok with that.
