Awake: 5:50am Temp? sleep 6+24 sunny outdoors overnight inside Newell Service Bay.
Today, Whitey started to reassemble the dash after changing the heater core to a stronger one. Such a bundle of wires & connections! Whitey told me he has done over (100) of these so far & Craig & Roger are slowly catching up.
A tech with a nickname of Bubbles is now working on making a Grab Bar for our entryway. K & I have been tossing this project around for a few yrs so finally, it will be done.
Early afternoon, Kathy chose today to take her "tour of the Miami town." She'll be gone for hrs...looking, perhaps making a purchase or two, but mostly looking!
Some of these techs work pretty hard, so when break time comes along, they'll lay down just about anywhere to get a short rest.
Chuck, our near neighbor from PA called; he was curious about our arrival time in Nicktown. I let him know what we have been doing & estimated a late April/early May arrival time. He also wanted to talk with Kathy but he'll be patient & wait for tomorrow.
Also today, the paint guys are attaching our new front fenders.
Last Sunday, when I was crawling under the front of our coach to repair a fog light, out of nowhere came this cute, friendly dog. Of course, I petted him, scratched his neck, & introduced myself. I figured I would eventually "meet the parents" & I did.
Both Jessie & Jim came over & introduced themselves & their dogs, Abby & Toby. We chatted for awhile, especially Jim & I, comparing our old 2001 coach to his recently purchased 2003.
As the days went by, we got to know Jessie & Jim fairly well & ended up having our wine & cheese time together in the customers' lounge...after quitting time of course.
Dinner in the lounge: Chicken salad, sugar snap peas, cantaloupe, Como bread, & cutie oranges. Evening movie: "Ball of Fire." We watched (21) mins.
Lights out: 11:20pm.
