Today was RV fixit day and I am not sure what was fixed at a mere $105 an hour. They dug into everything and found in the dash panel, 5 nuts missing that should have been on the wires to keep them connected. When fixed and tightened, we may have solved several of the problems we have them looking for in our bus, but we are not sure…..all does not work right yet. They test-drove the bus and two of the problems seemed to be working a little better. We are scheduled tomorrow for a few more $105 per hour hours to do more exploring of the problems. I am not as easy as Andy is with this and want to see an end to it all. I did enjoy the shopping part of today and printing pictures for my album and writing this blog. I did also enjoy talking to a Linda in Customer Service that has a true calling for her job. She is so “Jack of all Trades” that she is almost irreplaceable and has retired once already from General Motors, a job she worked at for almost 30 years. She told fascinating stories about the bosses that she has organized and has taught the talent of nonprocrastination, or is it deprocrastination? She didn’t sound like a braggert , just a fun and caring person that took good care of us all day. She helped us mail Joseph’s birthday gift in the very back of their building where they send out their own UPS packages, giving us a tour through the whole complex, the doily makers area and the Lug Nuts area .
We are excited that Shirley and Bob Lewis arrived late afternoon….they have a ton of shopping to do, etc….. like we did when we arrived yesterday. They are parked one space away and excited, too, about our trip starting together. We need to wait until Friday to go towards the border, however, for John and Barbara, another couple that will be going with us.
Another pastime that I am enjoying is watching Jupiter and Venus in the western sky, just above the horizon, after the sun goes down. There was an article in the Tombstone newspaper about the planets from the High Knoll Observatory. I enjoy watching the night sky and getting update info about such things as the meteor showers in November and Leonids (meteors that are fast and bright and will be visible in the sky Sunday to Tuesday coming up). Andy is in bus fixit mode and we purchased such things as new fans, a new outlet, new plugs and wire at Lowes to install for the benefit of the internet equipment, along with a few groceries at Wal Mart. We may get Christmassy and put a Christmas wreath on the nose of MAC bus J.
