Still Broke Down

On Sunday evening we broke down on I-80 east of Des Moines. We were towed to Freightliner on Monday. They said they couldn't do anything until Wednesday (today) and we parked for two nights next door in the Bass Pro Shop parking lot. Took it to Freightliner this morning, but they couldn't fix it. They sent us to Alison Transmission shop. By the time we got to Allison it was late afternoon. They said they could start on it today, but wouldn't finish it. If we wanted to sleep in the coach tonight, they would take it in at 7:30 AM. They talked like they know what is wrong and how to fix it. I appreciate them considering our needs before they started. Thanks to Ralph at Inland Truck Service. Sounds promising that we will be leaving Des Moines tomorrow.
Savannah enjoyed staying in the drivers' lounge at Freightliner. The word went out that she was there and many employees came by to see her. She loved all the attention, but didn't get her sleep in, so she has crashed back in the coach.
