It's not getting any better----

September 27 – The alarm woke me promptly at 6:30 so I had my coffee, got dressed and looked out the window to see when they opened the gate for me to walk over to service.  They didn’t open it at 7 so I went on the internet and discovered they didn’t open until 8.  So I could have slept another hour!!  Thanks Bill!

Once I saw them open the gate and 2 RV’s pull into the drive I walked over.  Apparently these guys are not morning people, or they are just crabby jerks!  The scheduler where I started, didn’t even say good morning.  Once we did get a conversation going he took me with him to 3 different service writers.  The first two barely let him say a word before barking “I’m not taking any new jobs today!”  I was standing right there.  He never got to tell them my issue, just turned tail and took me to the next.  The last guy was equally abrupt, but when he saw me, he backed off a bit and said to let him get her first few up and going and for me to wait in the waiting area. 

So I waited and called Bill to let him know what was going on.  The guy came for me and it was like a totally different person, must have had his first cup of coffee!  So we went over the issue and he drove me to the RV in a golf cart and wanted me to see if it would start so I could drive it around the back to the bay.  It started, that’s the good news, but the brakes would not release.  So Lazy Days decided to dump us off on Freight-liner, which is literally right next door.  He said they don’t do the brakes and since it won’t move I’d have to tow it, but Freight-liner could probably fix the brakes where it sits and drive it over and do the rest.

He drove me over in the golf cart (how generous of him) and at first they gave me the “we’re too booked” song and dance!  I think she felt sorry for me and said she didn’t know if they’d get to it today but would try.  So we took Molly with us and left the generator running and went to Carole’s with our clothes and toiletries to take a shower.  Molly let us know immediately upon arrival that she was NOT happy with Carole’s 3 cats and being shut up in a bedroom where one of the cats normally stays.  She hissed and growled at us and anyone who knows Molly, knows she loves people and is not the least bit like that.  Poor baby was going to be miserable if we have to stay there.

I was NOT in a good mood so once I had my shower I told Bill and Carole to go to lunch without me and to Mac’s jewelry.  I just wanted to sulk by myself!  So they went to a Mexican place Bill had found was the top one in Tucson.  I crocheted and sulked!  Molly hissed and growled!  We shared our misery!

When Bill got back they called to let us know that they aired the brakes and drove it over and the first issue (possibly the only) is the radiator.  They would replace it and the thermostat but were having trouble finding a radiator.  Later she called and said they found one and did I want to pay $75 to expedite it?  Duh?  Of course!  Then she proceeded to tell us it was still going to take 3 -5 business days and then they’d have to check everything else to make sure it was only the radiator. 

We went on over to gather up our clothes, groceries, pet food, litter box, and the kitchen sink!  The truck that was already loaded, was jam packed then!  We made a quick stop at Walmart Market for bananas and breakfast cereal as I forgot them but did remember the almond milk.  Also got a box of Skinny Klondike bars for desserts. 

Molly was so miserable!  She continued to hiss, growl and ignore us!  She wasn’t eating or drinking.  I baked a seasoned pork roast with tiny potatoes and steamed fresh broccoli for dinner.  Carole really enjoys it when someone else does the cooking.  I don’t think she really cooks for just her.  Bill and Carole did the dishes (as it should be) and then we all had our mini ice cream bars and watched TV while Carole and I crocheted.  It was a nice evening and we really enjoy our time with Carole.
