Okay, so Wanda was in for service and we didn’t
have a fight, (nor could she actually leave me) but I wanted a catchy blog
title . . . so sue me.
The lovely Irish lass at the RV dealership did
come through for me in so far as late yesterday afternoon she proudly phoned me
to say that Wanda was finished.
She even arranged to have Wanda placed in a place
where I could pick her up even if I got there after the dealership closed. It was
nice that someone was actually interested enough to make sure that the repairs
were done ahead of schedule.
I did get to pick up Wanda and most of the repairs
were done but for two they needed to order parts. They will contact me when those
parts are in and then Wanda will go back into service to get those two things
repaired.
In case you are wondering the two things which
needed parts are: 1) the facet end (for the kitchen sink) and 2) the freezer
door decorative panel and holder on the bottom.
As I settled into Wanda for the night and puttered
around, that feeling of not wanting to move out of her even for the few months of
the dead of winter returned. I know it is illogical and irrational, but moving
out of her for winter, seems like admitting defeat, like admitting I couldn’t
do it. I hate that feeling.
I know that it is foolish to think this way and
that when the time comes logic and good sense will win out over emotion and stubborn
pride. Still the wheels are turning as to how to stay in Wanda for the winter. It
is too soon to pay for a place to stay, yet, but if a golden opportunity came
my way, I would not turn it down. December will be the time to really get down
to final winter preparations; that is if this good weather holds.
As far as Tanea is concerned, it is going well. Between
yesterday and this morning I did get all of part one edited. I will continue
editing part two and move on to new chapters this weekend.
I almost didn’t pick Wanda up yesterday as I wanted
to be there when the parts department was open so I could get a few extra keys
cut for Wanda. I lost my only other set of keys so now the only keys I have are
the main set and one spare door key I keep hidden so I am never completely
locked out.
I will go back this afternoon and take care of
this as I do want two extra sets, one for me, and one for a guest. I will keep
the main set on my main key ring. With a set of keys with just the trailer door
and storage key on it, it will be more convenient for me. I will be able to
leave the trailer without having the gigantic truck key jabbing into me in my
pocket. I need to be careful as too small of a key-ring makes those small keys
easy to lose (it has happened).
I will try an interesting experiment with regards
to charging Wanda. I will plug in all three or four days in a row this weekend.
I will see if this dramatically improves the recharging capacity so I can avoid
being forced to plug in for 24 – 48 hours straight. This is always a challenge
for me as I am never in the same spot more than 12 hours on the outside.
Just because sunrises help put you in a more
positive mood, here is your sunrise shot.
Time to get to work, take care all.
