Its a long way down to the water. This is the dam at Page, AZ.
Today was a no place we had to be, no service to go to and a day to do what WE or US wanted to do. After our morning chore of grocery shopping, we were free to do what we wanted. I played golf and shot probably my best round ever.
Tomorrow is our " get glasses or contacts" day. My complaint is I cant see the ball when it lands. The remark I get is dont hit it so far. I only hit it 250 yards on a good day.
We have a working dash a/c again. Also our driving light problems are resolved, new switch and some wire repairs. While there I had the tranny fluid changed, the coolant changed and state inspection. We are good to go. Last thing to be done is new brakes this fall.
And I went to Camping World for a new awning. Our 17 foot long patio awning got blown off and is trashed. The new one was $762.33 vs the competition's price of $15xx. It pays to shop around. We will have the awning in about 7-10 days. We will be here for that time period doing other things. I will be playing some golf and maybe even go bowling too and even a movie.
We have no plans made for what to do after the next two weeks. Got to get the house fixed, new glasses for both of us and see about our parents. Updates will be few as the time goes by.
We went in on friday and had the front heater fan noise fixed and the steps fixed. The step repair cost as much as a new step when the parts and labor were totaled. We went in and paid the bill and I hope its the last time I use them. Our tiny thermostat for the bedroom cost $150 to replace. It is still there. The front jack, Power Gear, is starting to leak and its a $7xx replacement plus labor, freight and fluid. Thats a $1000 bill. We will look for another source. Oh, an oil change is $110 vs our $46 in Moab, UT or the oil change place in Alvarado for under $35. And if the awning is right at Camping World, the price difference will pay for all the other work less the jack. Gotta get a better jack price.
The work at the ford house finishes tomorrow. We had to have the dash air repaired, parts are in, then its tranny and coolant change. The wiring is fixed and a state inspection is next.
We went rv parking looking today. The mid town rv park near downtown Fort Worth is not a monthly place. The weekly is $210 for those who can afford it. The rv ranch in Burleson is $385. About what Cowtown in west Fort Worth is asking. We will have been here a week tomorrow and will pay for another 6 days here. We then will move to the other park and get the full hookups for $11 till all the rv work is done. Maybe there is a job coming to pay for all of this.
