Vaquero Village RV Park, Botines, TX - Saturday, March 17, 2018
Morning 71 Degrees, Wind SSW at 1 to 4 Mph, Humidity 86%, partly sunny.
Afternoon 99 Degrees, Wind W at 11 to 21 Mph, Humidity 12%, mostly sunny.

I was out there at the battery compartment and moved the car close to transfer
batteries from Buster to the car. First I took out the two visible and put them on the side one at a time as they weigh sixty-four pounds each. Then the inside batteries one at a time remove and bring to the car then one new battery into the compartment rest. Then repeat for the second one and connect them up. Now reinstall the outside batteries and finish the connections. In between I was trying to put Freon in the car’s air conditioner as it was not cooling Friday. After checking the battery voltage and seeing them charging properly I serviced the water level in the batteries.

I tried to start the engine today that did not work. I made six attempts no start, now I need to locate the fuel filter.

We hung here at Buster and relaxed today.

Vaquero Village RV Park, Botines, TX - Monday, March 19, 2018
Morning 70 Degrees, Wind SW at calm Mph, Humidity 91%, partly cloudy.
Afternoon 88 Degrees, Wind NW at 2 to 15 Mph, Humidity 11%, mostly sunny.

We were on the road early taking Tan Jan to her doctor (Buick Dealer) to have the air conditioner checked, ouch. There is a tube hose leaking, they are ordering a part and overnight delivery. I checked on place for the fuel filter with no luck on that, tomorrow we will try again after Tan Jan is done with the doctor. It is hot riding in the car with no air conditioning, we are not keeping the windows open only a small amount, wind noise. Leaving the dealership today they washed Tan Jan before we got her back.

Morning 61 Degrees, Wind ENE at 6 to 17 Mph, Humidity 31%, mostly sunny.
Afternoon 82 Degrees, Wind NE at 7 to 20 Mph, Humidity 18%, mostly sunny.

Again we were on the road early taking Tan Jan to her doctor (Buick Dealer) to have the air conditioner fixed. One GM part did not arrive but they found one at another parts store in town, good. After hanging at the dealer for awhile we got a ride over to a mall to walk around and have lunch at the food court. We were back at the dealer just about two and we were on the road before two-thirty, with a car washed the third one in four days. I had to clean Tan Jan Saturday and leaving the dealership yesterday and today they washed Tan Jan again.

Three more stores to finally find the fuel filter, along the way I got a filter wrench and a one gallon gas container for diesel fuel. Getting back to Buster I filled the filter with diesel fuel and installed it, but no engine start. I called our gate coordinator for help as he has a gate for us on Thursday. The ride back to Buster was nice and cool.
