Fixing and Washing

Today was a day of fixing for me. As reported yesterday, we had a blow out of our roof. Today after looking at it, I found that probably it was something the factory should have done about 9 years ago. This motor home has a fiberglass roof, which is good. The edges hang over the side and fit into a channel. I talked to the factory today and they said that the edges are suppose to be, I guess glued is the best word, into place. Well there was no bonding of any sort on the edges that pulled out. All 32 feet or so of them. The good news is I was able to get the edge back into place. There is damage on the front of a tear of about 2 inches and on the back a larger area maybe 10 inches. In other words there is a major fix in the future. But as of today I got it all back in place. I put a run of duck tape all the way along the seam. The way I figure if duck tape will hold a NASCAR together at 180 mile/hour the Snuffy should be fine at 65. If you can see it in this picture the roof is loose. Second picture is my fix. A nice strip of Duck tape from one end to the other.

On a better note. After I did my stuff and Sue did laundry, we went to breakfast/lunch at the casino. The same one we were at yesterday. Last nights porterhouses steak dinner was good/ dinner and drinks were around $30 bucks. Today I had breakfast and Sue had lunch. $15 bucks. Prices are good in Nevada casinos. Gambling for the last two day. We put in $61 bucks and cashed out around $120 bucks. So if you add up the numbers we came out ahead. Anytime you can leave a casino ahead it is good. Carlie could have cared less.

Tomorrow we will head to Laughlin, Nevada. Actually we will be staying across the river in Bullhead, Arizona. It is an RPI park. We belong to RPI. This means we get to stay there for $10 bucks a night. Only a half mile from another casino. This will be year number four for us in Laughlin. This year we get to see Mel Tillis. Should be a lot of fun. Saturday or Sunday we will head out and end up in Surprise an Happy Trails.
