Nuts again...I arrive and put my feet in the water at Santa Monica at 12:28 am early morning October 11th. Couple on beach takes a picture in dark. Back to my car, out of the city to Santa Clarita, sleep in car in Comfort Suites parking lot before heading north to Bakersfield to rustle up RV parts on way back. Found most parts and returned to RV. Install new exhaust system in parking lot. Dirty, shower, went to bed. Next morning Tuesday October 12th... lifted hood, disassembled broken parts, call many machine shops, found one in Fresno (60 miles north) who can make my adaptor part. Deliver part and measurements to machine shop in Fresno. Use time waiting to gather more parts and return items in Fresno. Now 4:00 pm and on my way from Fresno to RV an hour south of Fresno. Arrive to try installing new part...close but no cigar. Nuts for the 3rd time. Now I must return to Fresno Wednesday a.m. the 13th.
