Awake: 4:55am Sleep 5+36 overnight in Bay # 12
A handful of mechanic specialist techs, cabinet makers & Randy the tile man arrive between 6:00am & 6:15am for their ½ day of catching up.
Randy barely finishes tiling before 11:30am, their quitting time. Mooney has been taking the living room TV off the wall so it can be raised about (7 or 8) inches. @ the same time, Tracy is removing the slide bearing covers to make a fix. Then the 11:30am horn & most of the techs disappear. Throughout the afternoon, more motorhomes are leaving the campground.
K& I are invited to tour of Nancy & Tom’s new 2008 motorhome. They tell us that they patterned a lot of their floor plan after our coach’s floor plan. After seeing their coach, indeed they did but also made some changes more fitting to their lifestyle: (2) bidets; a real bedroom, no Murphy bed; expandable table and 2 chairs rather than a booth; smaller front TV with a 60 inch pull down …screen; all-in-one washer/dryer in the bathroom, etc. The cabinets are a very pretty light brown in a matte rather than shiny finish.
Merle & Jane from Tulsa drive in to pick up their coach. Last time we saw them was October @ the Boothbay, Main rally. We chat for awhile & then they head to the main office & later, drive away in their motorhome.
About 3:30pm, with the help of Sam giving hand signals, I back our coach out of Bay # 12 & then drive around to the front of the Service building & park in the # 1 spot for the weekend. Backing out of Bay # 12 is very tricky. With a (45) foot coach, there is little room between buildings (the service bldg & the production bldg) so a visual guidance person is mandatory.
6:15 pm wine time with Tom & Nancy in their coach. Kathy brings the cheese & cracker dish. We have a good time gabbing with these people who are close to being full timers; they spend about (11) months in their coach every yr.
Dinner in our motorhome: Kathy’s homemade crab cakes with brown rice, corn off the cob from Flossy & a mixed salad.
Late evening movie: “Vice Versa” with Roger Livesey, Kay Walsh, Anthony Newley, Petula Clark, etc. Entertaining comedy about Victorian stockbroker Livesey & his schoolboy son Newley, who change places after wishing on a magic stone. 1948. We felt it was much too silly & ridiculous; don’t waste your time.
