Getting Ready

It is now Thursday afternoon and we're leaving on Monday afternoon. We've been busy shopping for groceries and other items for the RV. Sometimes it looks as though we'e going to some remote desert location instead of a small town on the Oregon coast. We also brought the RV home from the dealership and spent some time operating every system on it. We also did a load of laundry.

We found several items that we wanted repaired, nothing serious. The RV is currentlyat the dealer and we were notified today that it's ready to be picked up. I've asked them to keep it there until Saturday morning. I need to explain why.

I talked the storage facility people into letting us park the rig in one of their vacant, individual, indoor, parking structures. They have 19 of them that measure 50'X14'. I figured that I'd see about getting a lower rate for the 10 days or so that I thought we'd need the space. It's like an airplane leaving with empty seats "an opportunity gone forever". They agreed and assigned me unit 16. The only problem is, space 16 is opposite another row of storage saces that are about 50 feet away. There is literally no room to manuver a 39' coach to get it lined up straight into the unit. I managed to do it once, but I'm not going to do it again. I must have ground 5 pounds of rubber off of each front tire trying to back and fill. So much for my great plan.

We will pick up the coach on Saturday morning and bring it to the house for the weekend. That way we can leave on Monday around 2:oo pm. At least that's the plan. I have a commitment at lunch time on Monday, then we're free to go.

I'll spend some more time on this later.
