The way to start your day at Pismo Beach.
We didn’t do much today. We went shopping for a coat for Carol – when you have spent the summer in Southern Arizona the Coos Bay weather will feel cold and she forgot the last one we bought. Trader Joe’s for a little dinner shopping. We did eat that cinnamon bun from Old West Cinnamon Rolls but at least we walked a three quarters of a mile each way to get it – and we split it. We’ll probably do it again too.
When we got back to the coach I cleaned up the battery connection to the starter. I don’t think I mentioned it earlier but, for the last couple of trips the old “hot starter” thing has been happening. I figured it was a bad connection but not too bad because it always went away with a second turn of the key. The last two times I shut the engine off getting here I didn’t think it would start again so whatever it is, it is getting worse. I didn’t crawl under the coach and work on the starter-end of the cable – that requires jacks, jack-stands, etc. and we are on dirt. If it keeps happening I’ll have to get more serious and the next few legs of the trip are pretty short so no big deal if it does fail.
