And Waiting . . . .

Today was overcast and rainy again. During the night we heard lots of rain and some repeated rubbing sounds, which we are conjecturing may have been from our rubber slide toppers being moved about in the wind. On our walk this morning, we wore our Tilley hats, which are supposed to repel rain. They did protect our faces from the rain, but they were soaked by the time we finished. I wore my rain jacket, but the front of my pants legs also got soaked. We hung our wet things on the hall tree in the lobby and hunkered down in the customer lounge to dry off--and to wait.

Our home was moved into the service bay shortly after 7:00 a.m. We were able to go in for lunch from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. Some nice hot soup sounded good. I put some in our bowls and put the bowls in the microwave, as usual. However, what happened when I opened the microwave door was definitely not usual. The soup bowls had tilted into the front corner near the hinges, and our nice creamy roasted red pepper tomato soup poured out on the cooktop below an splashed on the fridge and the floor.

Even though the stove burners are sealed, cleaning out the soup from the parts of the high speed burner was quite a chore, not to mention soaking up all that soup from the microwave and cooktop and floor. Another lesson learned: if the coach is not level, turn the microwave turntable off. Evidently the combination of being unlevel and the centripetal force of the spinning turntable sent the bowls careening on their way.

The contents of the cargo bay were taken out again, to permit the SeeLevel strips on the black and gray tanks to be replaced. Of course we took the opportunity to reorganize. Tony had installed our second sewage hose storage tube, so that meant one large hose was no longer being stored in the cargo bay. We also moved our outside fire extinguisher to our bonus storage area, which we plan to keep unlocked so that the extinguisher will be more readily available in an emergency (as Mac the Fire Guy recommended).

We are still hoping that most of our work will be completed soon. We are looking forward to moving on.
