i am at the saskatchewan info center near maple ridge about 45 km into the province, brian is behind me somewhere and the rv is fixed, ie the air injection recirculation pump seized and chewed up the serpentine belt, we had the pump bypassed as they don't make that pump anymore.  also, the spark plugs were finally changed and tune up was done.  reg says the rv is running better than ever.  brian just arrived 22 minutes behind.  tonight hopefully we reach swift current.  it is hot out there!  renato
