Repair Mission

On Tuesday, we drove north to Winnemucca, Nevada on Hwy. 95. Our final destination was Sandy, Oregon to meet with Jim Rixen. Jim designed our heating system. He agreed to help us find a solution to our heating problems.

Highway 95 is a lonely stretch of Nevada, dotted with old mines, random dunes, rugged mountains and run-down brothels. If you find yourself in Winnemucca, I can sympathize with your plight. Do eat at...

The following morning, we woke to fresh snow. The long drive through southeastern and central Oregon to Sandy proved beautiful with golden grasslands dusted white.







No matter the scenery, everyone needs a mood elevator. (Burns, OR)




We spent most of Thursday with Jim. He added a high altitude kit, replaced the heat exchanger and heater core, and he fixed some loose wiring. We have been warm and toasty ever sense. Jim took it upon himself to help us out because he is just that kind of guy- generous, honest and considerate. Thank you, Jim!!
