I think they want us outta here!

 Slept much better last night.  Woke a few times but only to turn over and go back to sleep.  No feeling wide awake.  Yuma was up and wanting out at 7:30, so we did our walk around the desert routine.  Ground squirrels live in holes where we walk and Yuma sees them running around and bolts across the desert floor hoping to beat them before they go underground, but never does.😄

We had our normal breakfast lasting till near noon.  Nothing is happening outside the White Lion.  Bummer!  A mechanic came in around noon, needing to get the engine ID number so they could order the correct oil pump.  I thought Steve said, it had been ordered yesterday, but guess not.😟  Not looking like we'll be leaving tomorrow.  We felt lazy, so just laid around until 2 o'clock when we played a game of Chess.

Around 3:30 while taking Yuma for a walk for a little exercise, I spied this:

Maybe, just maybe, my oil pump and gasket just came in.  Too late today, for them to do anything, for sure.  

Almost immediately, the young man from yesterday was over and under the White Lion working feverishly.  He worked on the White Lion till 6:30 and then left for the night.  I think he came into work later in the day to be available when the parts came in.  

I believe the engine is back together and waiting for Steve to come in tomorrow to start it and test it out.  I think they want us outta here!😀  We may be on schedule to leave tomorrow afternoon if all goes well.  Got my fingers crossed!

I forgot yesterday to get pudding for our whipped cream and was not going without my dessert tonight, so ran into Eloy and bought some.  We had cheeseburgers and chips for dinner and I must say the cheeseburgers were cooked to perfection. 😋😋

Hoping to be writing from somewhere else tomorrow evening.  Thanks for stopping by.
