We woke up to a beautiful morning. The sun is shining! It's going to be a great day with no rain, although the ground is soaked like a wet sponge!
We got the camper straightened up and we headed out to do some shopping for the weekend. On the way out of the campground we got a phone call we've been waiting for. Which leads to a story I haven't put into the blog yet.
When our friends Ray and Melinda were here we were playing some cards at the table. Melinda mentioned that it was cold at the table and I noticed a draft coming from the floor. The next morning while eating breakfast I looked down at the floor and noticed a half inch or so gap between the slide wall and the floor! I went outside to look under the slide and saw that all the screws had pulled out where the slide wall attaches to the floor. The slide has been acting a little funny, but we didn't think too much about it. To say the least we were shocked and worried. I asked one of the campground hosts if there was a mobile RV repairman in the area and got the name of one from the host. I called the repairman, he was unavailable for the next three days, but said he would get back to us. The repairman showed up around 1200 today and spent almost an hour accessing the damage. This guy used to work in Elkhart, IN building RVs and has over 37 years of RV maintenance experience. He said the damage was not as bad as we feared and to bring the camper to his shop on the morning we leave here (next Monday) and he and his crew would have it fixed in three or four hours. To say the least Cath and I were relieved. We were afraid we were looking a big bucks in repair costs.
We finally were able to leave and get our shopping done for the weekend as Cecilia, Ferdie, Alej and Tapi are coming to the campground with their Coleman Pop-up (deja vu for us). The arrived just before dark, got all set up and then came to our camper for a Taco dinner. A good evening was had by all. Here's a few pics of the boys rough housing with me.
