Helena, Mt – Monday Aug 31, 2026

Yes our coach is being pulled out of the shop. This afternoon when they were able to get to the coach and the oil pan off the engine they figured out the problem is not the oil pickup tube. That pretty much leaves the only other option is the oil pump.

Now the challenge is finding an oil pump. At this point it may be Tuesday September 8. Oh well, Rule #1 is it could always be worse. The additional challenge is if this shop will put up with us until next week. So, far so good. We are trying to be very good parking lot tenants. At 5:00 after the shop closed I set up the Starlink so we’d have good internet for the evening. We are in town so we do have good 5G on our cellphones.

PS, It is still a good looking coach.
