Awake: 5:09am Sleep 5+24 overnight in the Service Bay # 12.

Wow! 2nd day in a row these techs are getting after our projects early; we like that.
Tracy visits & continues working on the (2) bearing covers that he started taking apart last Friday; after (2) different mechanical attempts, the repair is made & tested good.

Roger, an electrician with electronic talent, begins troubleshooting our Bose wireless audio system. It took some time & he even called in Ron, another electrician with electronic talent, to confirm that our Bose system was completely kaput with no backup replacement unit. After about 40 min, a decision was made @ the service office to replace our Bose system with a new Marantz surround sound system; we were delighted to hear about this changeover.

Surprise for Kathy: A new Advantium oven arrives & Kathy is all smiles. Turns out Boyd shot the deal down so Sam the action man came to the rescue. Randy unpacks the oven while Roger rewires the space for 120 volts in lieu of 220 volts; then Mooney, Roger & Randy all (3) work together in mounting the oven in its former cabinet over the kitchen galley.

Next, Roger & Mooney bring in & fasten down the TV in its higher bracketed position.

Bill, one of many from the paint shop, notifies me that the engine doors have been painted with the lines matching the coach lines, doors hung & level. I check it out & he’s right on; they look great; Boyd will be pleased as well.

K & I have been hanging out in the customers lounge a lot today; having Charlie & Nancy from Texas to entertain us helps a lot. I do my “check it out” wandering frequently however, & that keeps us both updated on progress.

After 5:00pm, we have our wine time with cheese in our coach, then dinner @ Hungry Henry’s just down the road. We share a catfish & salad meal.

Movie in the customers lounge: “Once Upon A Time in the West” with Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, etc. Cardinale is waiting for the railroad to come through, unaware she’s been targeted by hired killer Fonda (cast as one of the coldest villains in screen history). 1968. Not to be missed; I’m not kidding. We nearly changed the channel because of such a s-l-o-w start. It was super good even though it was a “Western.”
Back in our motorhome, the gals shampooed our bedroom carpet. Another surprise; it looks new again. They set up (2) blowers to dry the carpet overnight; we walked on it with plastic booties.
Lights out: 12:19am
