Awake: 7:18am Temp 40 sleep 7+36 sunny overnight @ Miami, Oklahoma.
We are not due to be taken in for service until tomorrow; meanwhile I talk with salesman Brian & the VP of service, John, about any updates, changes, etc on the recent motorhomes coming off the assembly line; just a few they tell me.
While Kathy goes grocery shopping, I meander through the service bays to see what the techs are working on; then walk over to the next building & visit the partially assembled coaches to see what’s new & different on floor plans, entertainment systems, engine technology, etc that the customers have ordered.
John from Nicktown calls: we chat about his & our recent activities & about the 1st good snow fall for their winter season.
Next, BIG John visits: he tells me his story of buying a newer pre-owned Newell coach & how much technology has advanced from his old coach (1988) to his present coach (1999). He was curious & asked for a walk-a-round of our coach to see the differences.
Kathy returns around (4:30) pm; unloads the groceries & fills up the cabinets; then we have our wine with cheese time.
Dinner: Pork chops, fried noodles, broccoli, & salad.
We watch the ABC news; Jeopardy & the O’Reilly Factor.
Evening DRV movie: “Sweet Bird of Youth” with Paul Newman, Geraldine Page, Shirley Knight, Ed Begley, etc. Tennessee Williams’ play, cleaned up for the movies, still is powerful drama. Newman returns to Southern town with dissipated movie queen Page, causing corrupt town “Boss” Begley (who won an Oscar) to have him fixed proper. 1962. Entertaining story but difficult to enjoy.
Lights out: 11:41pm
