Sebastian and I are fully moved into our friends spacious home with a pool. We are living in luxury. After the coach, this is a treat for both of us. I cleaned out all the things in Bearfoot that would be subject to the heat, sprayed the ants around the tires (I'll buy some Borax and put that around later), installed some windshield sunshields, locked him up and left. I am a bit under the weather so getting the job done was harder than it normally would have been. The weather here is lovely warm and sunny with clear skiis and light breeze. We went for a walk in the park nearby this morn.
I watched the VT vs BC game yesterday on TV. What an amazing team Tech has this year. Many of them are seniors so it will be a challenge next year to replace those seasoned players. If I was feeling better, I would have driven to Jacksonville for the game. It is not that far away actually.
The warranty work on Bearfoot was done swiftly and efficiently in two days. We slept in the coach in the service bay one night. That was an experience let me tell you. The lights are on all night. I think they have 200 bays there and each one is full. Of course, there are the usual cables, water and grease around to watch out for. I could only put the slide room out a little way since there was a large ladder there. But I was pleased with the results - No Charge! I put the car on the back and pulled out of the yard through the security gate when I heard a loud scraping noise in the front. It sounded vaguely familiar but I thought it must have been a rumble strip. I went on up the road when it happened again and then again. I pulled into the ajoining campground, Rally Park and drove around several times. The noise was awful so I called my service supervisor and informed him I was coming right back in, meet me in the parking lot. As everyone knows, the noise would not duplicate while the service people were gathered in front of the coach. After several minutes of diagnosing, discussion and scratching our heads, several bare wires were found on the generator switch. It was shorting out and trying to start while underway. They taped them up and off I went. I am very grateful to my Angels who had the problem occur where it could be fixed instead of out on the road. A similar situation occured on the way down when I had a flat tire. My roadside assistance company was there within a half an hour and had it fixed. I think we are fixed now and ready to roll whenever I decide to do so. Right now, I am bone tired and need to rest and heal myself before I can tackle anything else.
Remember: Expect Miracles
I am posting some pics I took in NC of the fall colours. I hope you enjoy them.
