Oil leak - blame the company mechanic!

Good morning from the same place as yesterday!  Yuppers, we get to spend another lovely day in El Paso due to mechanical error and the delay from Breakdown approving Freightliner to proceed on some additional work.  They could not duplicate the overheating (like they could...they would need to be pulling 44,000 pounds), the side cap for the antifreeze was was not tight, causing the loss of fluids (never saw any antifreeze leaks during my pre-trip inspections and it could have caused the overheating), and the oil leak......caused by the missing washer at the oil drain plug!  Great work guys, as I got my one and only oil change at the company shop!

Now we wait for approval for the missing washer (which has to be ordered in) so the other work (cabinet latch and shifted springs) can be completed by the body shop.

Now if only I had  my passport.......I would have loved to cross the border for REAL Mexican meal  :)

We did go for a nice walk............

We walked to Hacienda Park this morning after finding it on my cell phone "Google locator".  I think the south side of I-10 is a little rougher than the east side (closer to the border?) as the houses were a little more run down, had bars on windows and doors; old stone wall fences (not much building wood down south) and it appeared that EVERYONE had a dog for protection from this cute pup.....to this doggy zoo!

You have to love those those eyes!

We came across this back yard:

And you never would have guessed this from the front of the house with its two brand new Escalades!

After lunch, we will head north into the shops and nicer homes....I think!
