Awake: 5:55am Temp 74 sleep 6+25 sunny overnight @ Newell campground.
Early morning, a few more Newell coaches pull into the campground; it’s going to be a busy week.
Dave drives our coach into Bay # 12 @ 8:30am. They saved this bay for us & our conversion plans.
Would you believe, someone detected a flaw in the wall where the Sub-Zero refrigerator was placed, so to make it right which Newell tries to do, they have to take the whole thing apart, carry the sections into the cabinet shop & rebuild it. Wow!
So it’s déjà vu! K & I clean out the freezer section of the refrigerator & store those items back in the portable freezer outside on the floor; then Kathy transfers the refrigerator items back into the (2) Sub-Zero box units we have inside our coach.
Now the cabinet maker, Mooney (who is feeling a little sad to do this entire job again) gets into action & carefully begins to dismantle the refrigerator wall. Randy shows up to help Mooney when it’s time to physically move the full size Sub-Zero out of its resting spot; then they carry out the big wall with the flaw into the cabinet shop to begin rebuilding a new wall. While the wall rebuild is going on, Jimmy spends several hours removing the old plaster from the tiles, then sanding the floor smooth in preparation for laying the new tiles again later.
During this time of feeling like we are going backward, I download a sizeable program from Logitech which took over an hr & that should help us in the programming of our Harmony remote control. Having that Harmony programmed correctly, we can then operate the VCR, DRV, DVD, CD, TV, & Bose audio with one remote. That will be nice.
The cabinet workers are working overtime tonight + some of the engine & motorhome techs.
Dinner: Leftover stuffed pepper, broccoli & multi grain toast.
Later I call our answering service in Alaska to get our messages: (3) msg’s from Ed & Mary Ann. I return the call & what a nice surprise: it’s my ole buddy Ed from New York. He & I used to work in separate control rooms @ the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island; teaming up with the engineers & scientists in smashing atoms with the underground & lead shielded Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. After (4) yrs, I took a sabbatical but never returned; Ed ran the gamut & retired in the yr 2000. We agree to e-mail, talk by phone, then get together next summer in PA.
Lights out: 11:34pm
