Awake: 5:01am Temp 51 sleep 5+59 sunny...windy overnight @ Newell
campsite.

Our doorbell rang precisely @ 6:30am. We were ready: our portable water filter was stowed, slides retracted, engine warmed up, etc. Dave drove us to service bay (18). As we pulled into the parking spot, (3) techs were there waiting for us.

We are having a P.M. done (preventive Maintenance) on our coach & a few glitches repaired. (22) filters get replaced, oil changed on the Caterpillar engine, oil changed on the generator, grease job, (2) new driving tires, diesel/electric aqua system gets a new nozzle, etc, etc.

Aside from getting the P.M. done, getting our Murphy bed fixed was another most important item on our list of (7) glitches. Murphy had sprained his ankle September 8, as he looks here, but now he has recovered & is as good as new. The techs made the repairs before 10:00am this morning.

The remainder of the day zipped along quickly for me as the techs were doing their jobs on the P.M.

Kathy went into town for a couple hours in the afternoon, put the dirty Suzuki through a car wash, & checked out some of the local stores.

Dinner: pork chops, rice, broccoli & acorn squash.

Mid evening: we Skyped with Nick, Eriko & Jerry for (38) min. Jerry has pneumonia & was asleep on the couch. Nick showed us the ultrasound of their baby; no sex identified.

Evening movie: "Doctors Dilemma" with Leslie Caron, Dirk Bogarde, Alastair Sim, etc. Bubbly Shaw period play of young wife Caron conniving to convince medical specialists that her scoundrel husband is worth saving. 1958. Unless you're in the medical field, I would advise one to skip this flick.

Lights out: 11:20pm.
