STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY

Had a cold front move through last night with 60 mph gusts. The fiver handled the wind very well. Both Jim and I were impressed by how well it did.Today it is only about 63* but is supposed to be back in the 80’s by this week-end.

Jim is still working on his to-do list. Notice, this is HIS to-do list, not my honey-do list. We use the antenna for whatever TV we can pick up. The antenna in the fifth wheel has given us grief all summer. Today, Jim decided to get on the roof to figure out what was going on with it.

IMG_2977 The rotating gear housing was loose and he was able to tighten it up with the purchase of only one new socket. Hopefully now we won’t keep losing our stations. At least the two we get.

While he was on the roof he also got our Max Air covers installed.

This afternoon is going to be dedicated to getting the boat ready. He needs to hook up the lights and the trailer brakes to the fiver and make sure all of that works. Also needs to go through the boat and clean it out.

I’m doing dishes and laundry. How much fun is that?

stagecoach_bg_wht Customer Service Is Not Dead – Remember when we had that issue with Jim’s debit card while we were in Gillette? We went into the Wells Fargo Bank and April was the banker who helped us take care of everything. Jim got a follow up phone call from her this week wanting to make sure that everything was okay and wanting to know if there was anything further she could do for us. Now that is definitely good customer service.

  1. Looks like Jim had a pretty busy day what with the antenna and installing Maxair covers - that's a pretty good day's work.

    Glad to see a bank who still cares about good customer service.

  2. Isn't amazing how many things there are to do to a "new only to us" RV?

    One of the things we are going to like about moving back home is our neighborhood bank which is always willing to help us even though we don't bank there. Absolutely amazing non-customer service!

  3. Bet you're getting the 'itch to hitch'. Let us know when you start heading south...maybe we will be in your line of travel??

  4. I've decided that this RV life is not for sissies. Y'all sure have to do a lot to stay ready and in good repair.

  5. Looking on the bright side, at least that driveway camping isn't costing you an arm and a leg!

  6. At least all these things will be taken care of before you get on the road. Better to fix those things before you head out than end up in trouble. Your day will come soon enough ... well, hopefully. Take care.

  13. Oh that 'hitch itch' must be really getting to you - you mentioned 'encouraging' Jim. These RV's sure require a lot of work. Hope you get to hit the road soon - when does the snow arrive??
