Work Starts

We got up early this morning so that we could be packed up and ready for work to begin on our rig, but it wasn't until a bit later in the morning that Ken U. came by with the fork lift and moved our coach around to the back of the service area.

We walked around with Ken U., pointing out areas of concern, and he tagged each with some tape. Kylie worked on the cabinets and windows. She replaced the two bedside windows, so now both of them are working--and even better, both of them now open far enough to actually get some ventilation. She put up the new MCD shade over the dining table and worked on the wood finish issues.

We spent most of the day in the customer lounge. New Horizons was a busy place today. Jim and Sue Coram showed up in their brand new HDT to pick up their coach. Another new owner, Jerry Schmidt, came in towing his Grand Teton. It had been sold, and the buyers came in early, so Jerry was removing everything from the Teton and putting it in his truck, where he was planning to sleep tonight.

We met Eddie, who is considering buying one of the used Summits, and Lynn and David, who picked up their new coach in May and have returned for some work. We talked again with Bob and Judy. Tomorrow Rebecca and Willis will be arriving. Some couples came through to tour the plant, including one husband and wife who both use walkers. They're asking about lifts and other modifications to accommodate their needs.

Jeffrey came by to talk with us about our plumbing and to show us how to remove our Watts water pressure regulator. We were glad to know that all incoming city water flows through our filters, although any water we siphon into the tank does not. We'll have to be sure to purify that water if there's any question. Fortunately, we don't often have a need to siphon water. That only happens if we're boondocking for an extended period and need to replenish our water tank.


After the work day ended, we went to Laundry Land and did our laundry--four large loads. It's a very large, clean place with efficient machines, and the lady who works there was very helpful. It's the only laundromat we've ever visited that has a pool table to keep customers entertained. On the way home we stopped for groceries. Good thing we have a tonneau cover--we filled the truck

Tonight Ken watched Men in Black II, which he had recorded. By the time it was nearing the end, he was saying, "I wonder why I recorded this!"
