Awake 5:12am Temp inside 65 Clear & windy outside Overnight in
service bay. All slides retracted.
Soon after the workers arrive @ 6:30am, the 6 BIG hydraulic jacks are
removed & we extend our slides once again.
David from the cabinet department knocks on our door around 6:45am. He is
ready to take measurements back in my closet. About this same time, Bill &
Lolli who have a 1995 Newell & Bob & Lynn who just purchased a new 2006
Newell....are leaving this morning, so we leave David to take his
measurements & say our goodbyes to these two couples who we hope to see
again soon.
We skip out to attend 9:00am mass @ the Sacred Heart church.
When we return, my bookshelves are finished & they look really good +
functional.
Later, when talking with Tommy, I compliment him on such fast action & the
good work David did with my book shelves. After that, I bring up the
subject of a loose computer control box in our rear basement joey bed. I
have crawled into this area several times but have not been able to
locate the hold down device to make it tight. To my amazement, Tommy got
right into it with a flashlight, crawls out & returns with some tools & in
10 min, has it fixed.
@ 1:45pm, Tommy visits us again to let us know they will be pushing our
coach outside for the weekend & we should be ready by 2:30. I figure I
have time to walk over to the parts department & order some indicator
bulbs for Dick & Christine. Dick called during the middle of February
before we left Phoenix & asked if I had any spare bulbs. So while I am
here @ Newell, I'll pick a few up & send him some.
I no sooner get the order in for the bulbs when Creslie comes by & tells
me that Kathy is trying to find me. They are pushing our coach out to the
campground. With no transmission, it has to be either towed or pushed.
"There must of been 15 guys huffing & puffing to get that machine rolling
outside" Kathy tells me later. "But as soon as a small rise in the
concrete came along, all movement stopped." That's when I showed up. So
now they get a forklift with chains & tow it close to the parking site,
then the guys, with Kathy's help, all push it back into the week-end spot.
After parking, Kathy makes another grocery trip to the nearby Wal-Mart
while I organize some more tax papers & the indicator bulbs for mailing to
their respective destinations. Then when Kathy returns, I drive over to
the North Miami post office(4 min) & send my 2 items off.
7:00pm Dinner: Portobellos stuffed with crab meat & artichoke, rice pilaf,
sauteed cauliflower & green peppers in a balsamic & boursin cheese.
And then tonight, I can't believe we did this: We watched a triple feature
of movies: "Miss Congeniality" with Sandra Bullock. "Charley Varrick" with
Walter Matthau. "The Three Godfathers" with John Wayne. WOW! Our brains
are dead.
