Awake: 4:30am Temp 37 Clear Elevation 757 ft Overnight @
Miami, OK
A good nights rest for me after that long drive. I began deleting junk
mail from our computer & by the time Kathy woke up, over 600 e-mails were
gone.
The Newell service workers began arriving @ 6:30am. I wait until 8:30
before going into the building & talking with Tommy. He is surprised to
see that we are here so soon….& wastes no time in making it clear to me
that no one cancelled their appointment & doubts that our bus will be
taken in for service today. In fact, they will do their best to get our
unit in by tomorrow afternoon. “It’s not like the old days” he says,
“there are no slow months anymore.”
Next, I walk over to the front office & talk with Sam, the sales manager.
I enjoy Sam; he’s running a smooth sales force & does a good job of
bringing us owners up to speed on the latest gadgets & improvements on the
coaches. We talk for 35-45 min.
Later I return to the front office & pick up our mail of 2 months…sent
down from Alaska to the Newell factory. Kathy’s been using the computer in
the customer’s lounge for a few hrs….when she returns to the bus, she goes
through her mail…then goes off to Wal-Mart for some grocery shopping. I
continue spending time going through the rest of our mail until national
news time.
6:30 dinner: Pork chops with whole wheat noodles, sautéed apples, broccoli
& toast.
Evening time: Larry from San Diego calls….he is back from his Los Angles
trip & wants to know “how it goes with us?” I let him know that perhaps I
have picked up one of his bad habits….driving over 700 miles per day as we
are @ the Newell factory already.
