Today the journey began.
J got home around 7:30 from work, fed us, and started throwing a few last things in Ivan the InPhenite Van. Mintz looked sad, but Appley looked devastated as Bados & I got to load up. He always looks that way when we leave without him, but he hates when we arrive anywhere and he has to be social.
Anyway, things headed downhill before we ever made it to Allagante. The tire pressure warning light came on although J had just got brand new tires 2 weeks ago. She stopped at a Les Schwab (chain where she bought the tires) to have this checked - expecting a quick adjustment of inflation - this seemed to take way too long. Good news:Bad news. The tire pressures are correct, but they can't figure out what is wrong with the tire pressure monitor. Their equipment to assess this was not working. Well, I guess that is better news than a problem with the tires, but it did cause almost an hour delay getting started & now - even though 200 miles later the warning light mysteriously went off - we don't know if it is working again. Grr.
The rest of the day was just long & boring. At least Venus stopped whining fairly quickly. Sigh.
Tomorrow: Lincoln, NE
