Awake: 5:38am Temp inside 70 sleep 6+00 sunny outside overnight inside the Newell service bay.
We both slept better in our Murphy bed last night….getting used to the inside environment probably has something to do with it. I set the air conditioning in zones (2) & (3) for cool sleeping.
We visit Sam in his office; he was pleased that our week-end moving went well & we were happy to have the casual (3) days to do this move.
The Newell comptroller is in her office today so I ask Sally what is the next step. “We need the title from your 2001 motor home” she says. “No problem” I tell her.
After nearly an hr of searching my organized papers, I wish I hadn’t said that to Sally. The title I thought was for our motorhome was actually the title for our Suzuki. I had to tell Sally that I can’t find the title. “Monte” she says, “we have to have that title!”
I needed to think so I go outside in the fresh air from that storm that just moved through on Saturday night & kind of paced the concrete a little. Finally my memory starts to kick in; back in 2005 when we were RVing in the Northwest & visiting Port Townsend, WA, we called Kevin for his birthday. That’s when he announced their plans of accepting a job @ the University of Indiana in Pennsylvania & they were going to move themselves. Shortly after that, Melissa & Kevin offered to move our things out of storage as well. In addition to moving things out, I had asked Melissa to close out our safety deposit box after I arranged it with the Credit Union. I’m pretty sure that’s the box where I kept the title for our motorhome.
@ 9:45 central time, I call Melissa in PA. She remembers getting papers from the safety deposit box; “where are they now?” I ask. “They are in our safe now,” she says. I can feel a slight smile coming over my face as she mentions that. “Could you take a look & see if our motorhome title is there?” I ask. She tells me she is busy now but will have Kevin look when he comes home for lunch.
I wait patiently until 12:30 CDT; then call Melissa again. “Kevin didn’t have time to look” she tells me. I had to let her know that this is serious & we need to have those papers ASAP. Then Melissa questions me as to WHY I have to have them so fast? “You have the registration & your license; you don’t need to have the title with you, do you?” Ok, ok, I was trying to keep this a secret but I sensed that I might get a better response if I simply come clean. Yes, we’re buying a new motorhome.
Meanwhile, I had a few unused parts for the 2001 motorhome that were brand new so I asked Chuck C. if they could be returned for credit. Yes they could & he credited the cost on my AMX.
Next, Scott L. (vice Pres of manufacturing) gives K & I a (3) hr detailed tour of our new coach: inside & out. He is good @ what he does….but that’s a lot to digest @ one time. We also have (2) boxes of manuals covering all the systems, appliances, entertainment units, etc to read up on in our spare time.
Approx 8:00pm, the title lady calls…. & it was not Sally; Melissa has found our elusive 2001 motorhome title in their safe & will FDX it tomorrow. Whew!
8:45 dinner: Warm chopped chicken piccata spinach salad, acorn squash with cranberry sauce & toast.
Lights out: 12:35am
