Back in Hondo

Saturday - It’s 1am and we are still sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for a flight to San Antonio. They are still showing a boarding time of 25 min ago.

We made it to San Antonio by 3 am but our checked bags didn’t. One more line to make arrangements for them to be delivered to Hondo. The baggage agent said probably this evening as they are scheduled to arrive at the San Antonio airport on a 3:45 pm flight. With Delta, you scan the baggage claim and it gives you the history of where your suitcase has been. Pretty cool! At 4 am, it didn’t make sense to look for a hotel so we just settled in at the baggage claim area outside of the Delta office. 

There is an Italian coffee machine called illy and it made an Americano that tasted pretty close to what I got in Italy. Stronger, very good and hot milk added.

A huge thank you to Gary and Lynne for picking us up at the airport. When they arrived in the pickup area, it was almost deserted. Unheard of! Especially at 10am. 

Sunday - Our suitcases were delivered to the RV at around midnight. They sent text messages before and after delivery. 

The big surprise was that the RV refrigerator/freezer had shut off while we were gone. Specifically, on October 17th. It turned out to be a broken wire. 

One of the small 20AWG power wires for the temperature controller mounted inside of the refrigerator. I suspect that it was just vibration and fatigue. I have the appropriate size ferrules so I crimped them on and used heat shrink to reduce the effect of vibration. As you can see on the graph, the temperature dropped pretty quickly. If it runs for at least another day, I’ll consider that “fixed”.
