Man it gets dark early here. Last night, a little after 6 and I was working in the dark when I moved the motor home over to an area with a straight shot at the entry gate, and where I could hook up the CR-V. I guess it should not have been a surprise since I've been here as long as I have.
I made it to the Freightliner place without incident. I checked in, unhooked the CR-V and was back at the camp by 9. I did more insulating and cutting and fitting wood boards to finish the room around the water to heater as much as possible. When Fred did the plumbing it is obvious that he did not think the inside of the room was going to be finished. I also cut some scrap T100(?) siding pieces to finish a wall area behind a future vanity. Doesn't sound like much, but it kept me busy all day.
I got back over to the Freightliner place around 4. There were still waiting for a hydraulic filter, the chrome tailpipe, and the hubcap I lost on the way down here. The tailpipe and hubcap won't be here until tomorrow. I told them I would stay the night in the parking lot because I didn't want to drive back down miles of BUMPY dirt roads and then come back in the morning. I'm going to have some discussions with them in the morning about the grease on the carpet, between the bed and the closet. My guess is that the guy was on his knees while changing the air filter, through the closet floor, and the tops of his shoes got oil/grease on the carpet.
It rained quite hard here this evening. It is still sprinkling but the radar looks like most of the rain is done. I doubt that we got more than a half inch, but it came in a short period of time. The temperature dropped around 15 degrees. The high today was 83 while tonight's low is supposed to be in the 40's.
I had supper at Denny's, it is right across the highway from the Freightliner dealer. The waitress was an older lady, not as old as me. It was sad. She was obviously new to Denny's and maybe had never waited tables before. It took her three tries to get everything right on my food order, I think the kitchen kept sending here back to ask more questions about sides. I waited and waited for the salad. When it came she brought all my food at one time. It was a nice salad, the grilled tilapia was good and so were the other sides. Hopefully she will catch on quickly, because if she doesn't I can't believe they will put up with her for very long. The other two waitresses seemed to be efficient, I don't know why they weren't watching over her a little.
It's about 9, I'm going to hit the bed and read until I go to sleep. If they think the tailpipe will be delivered so that they can get it installed by noon I may just wait so that don't have to come back again. It isn't a big deal, it is a 30 minute drive in the motor home, back to the camp; maybe 25 minutes in the car.
Good night to all. May God bless you and yours.
