Awake: 5:34am Temp 71 sleep 6+33 sunny overnight @ Newell campground.
Dave, one of the many coach drivers, rings our doorbell @ 6:40am. He is ready to take our coach into bay # 4. For the next hr or better, there are repaired coaches in the service bays being transferred to the outside campsites & outside coaches needing repair being driven inside filling those now empty bay slots; most customers, like ourselves, have to schedule for an appointment @ least (2) months in advance, that is unless there is a priority problem.
The service bay holds (22) motorhomes not counting the (3) bays strictly used as paint booths. Having that many coaches being worked on throughout the day was fascinating for me. Without disturbing the tech or techs, I could watch from a distance & mostly figure out what system they were working on. If the problem was inside the coach, with all due respect, I would wait for a break or lunch time to scrutinize the project on my own & maybe ask questions later during some of the tech’s idle time.
Kathy kept busy talking with Linda from St. Charles, LA, another repair customer, & visiting Wal-Mart.
A lot of our glitches were taken care of today.
Dinner: Italian sausage with fresh green peppers & onions, corn off the cob & a spinach salad.
Katrina calls from Denver: she tells us about her plans for her Master’s thesis & the wedding she will be attending this afternoon.
Late movie: “Die Another Day” with Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, Toby Stephens, Rosamund Pike, Rick Yune, etc. Entertaining James Bond outing in the modern mode: less sophistication, more computer-generated effects. Madonna sings & co-wrote the title song. 2002. It was ok but not quite up to our high standards as the real Bond thrillers are.
Lights out: 11:01pm
