Awake: 6:42am Temp 43 sleep 6+46 partly sunny overnight @ Mission, TX.
K & I exercise with Gilad on Fit TV. After the ruthless workout; a sponge wipe off & getting into a different set of threads, I walk down to the campground office to let them know that we are expecting a UPS package in site “C 23.”
Grace lets us know that she is making a roast for tonight’s meal; they will grocery shop, fix the meal & then bring it over to our dinette table.
Kathy attends the 1:00pm country western jam session @ the main hall and makes a trip to the campground library where she picks up a couple Nicholas Sparks novels.
UPS delivers the HWH package to our doorstep @ 1:30pm. I waste no time in moving the wires from the old green plug over to the new 8 pin gray plug I just received. Then insert the gray plug into the appropriate gray socket of the new Module. Next, ignition on; run through a battery of tests on the leveling system & ……….it works like new. Gosh, that was fun. Again I was outside putting my tools away when Joe calls; he was tracking my package & knew when it arrived. I gave him the good news. I think he was as pleased as I to know that we are on the level again & his good troubleshooting methods were finally successful.
Joe was a great guy to work with: patient, understanding, sense of humor, very knowledgeable on the systems, etc. It was a comfortable experience except for that driving back & forth stuff @ Falcon State Park. Unfortunately for both of us, when our coach was being build, it was worked on by both the HWH guys & the Newell guys. That confused Joe & me too when we initially started the troubleshooting procedures with different wire colors. I was happy to have my new Fluke voltage, ohm, etc meter to work with.
6:20 dinner for 4: Grace’s Pot roast with potatoes & carrots and mixed salad. For dessert: fresh strawberry short cake with strawberry yogurt. Grace & Gary have to leave shortly after the meal. Gary is going to sleep @ the Sleep Apnea Clinic tonight in McAllen.
Late satellite movie: “Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio” with Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson, Laura Dern, Trevor Morgan, etc. Midwestern woman raises ten kids in the 1950’s, repeatedly keeping the wolf from the door by winning slogan contests. Not a slice of rosy-hued Americana but a pointed, often heartrending look at a woman with indomitable spirit who kept her family together in spite of her loose-cannon, ne’er-do-well husband & the condescending attitude of the men around her. 2005. Great movie! Highly recommended for family & friends.
