Ralph dropped our truck off at the Chevy dealership at 7:30am and had it back by noon(filter and sensor were replaced).I did some laundry and packed up around the 5th wheel.Warm 24deg.C but cooled off late afternoon.I had a nap while the others went to the driving range.We played shuffleboard in the evening. Very foggy.
