3 Apr 2025 - Nothing Significant to Report (NSTR) - Last Day at Lawrence KS

 

Not much to report today.  Neither of us felt like diving into the tourist thing today so we had a nice breakfast and worked around here.  This is our third stop here in Lawrence so we have checked out many of the things to see on previous stops.  Liberty got caught up on her naps and took a few walks. 

I took care of some admin tasks including some phone calls.  Since today is the last day here, we typically dump and flush tanks, stow hoses and anything else outside.  I then switch over to onboard water so that tomorrow morning all we have to do is unplug the power, stow it, hook up, retract the levelers and depart.  That especially works out good if there is a change of rain so we are not having to do all that in the rain.

Later we drove south a few miles, past the University of Kansas, home of the Jayhawks, 

We stopped in the Home Depot to replace a PEX fitting I used out of my kit when I was working on the water leak before we departed Griff's.  This is the first time I've had to use the kit I put together back when we first bought this coach.  I carry various PEX fittings and the tools to remove and replace them, all in case of emergency, either mine or my neighbor's.  I also carry a digital multimeter kit, a borescope kit, a CAT 5 Ethernet kit, an RG-6 coaxial cable kit and of course an extensive assortment of tools.

Splices, tee's, elbows; straight and 90 degree swivel adapters, plugs and crimp rings

That is about it from here.  Tomorrow morning we will break camp and head SW towards Wichita KS and McConnell Air Force Base, our next stop.  We will not be in a hurry leaving here as check-in time is not until 1400 hrs and it is only 161 miles there.  Towing our "tenement on wheels" as Clark W. Griswold would say,  we average about 50 miles per hour with stops.  So that puts our departure sometime after 1000 hrs.
