Day three of Robin and Fred's Grand Adventure
Sunday June 11th finds us in Flagstaff, AZ. It is cool and raining and altogether pleasant at Black Bart's campground. We stopped here Friday because of a transmission problem which turned out not to be as big of an issue as we thought. We will push on to Salt Lake City and get it checked out there where they are better equipped to work on Allison transmissions.
I think I will name this chapter of our adventure, “Rehab for TV addicts.” The antennas are not working for TV reception or for the internet connection. For those of you who know us well, you know we are having major withdrawal symptoms. Instead of our usual activities, Fred is furiously reading the monstrous manuals that came with the coach and fine tuning and adjusting the many systems that run this beast. I feel so fortunate that Fred is skilled at reading schematics and actually revels in it. I found that cooking in a tiny kitchen is actually easier than a big one and a small house is easier to keep clean than a large one. Our bed is very comfortable, the shower water was hot and plentiful and the toilet works like a champ. (All major necessities in my opinion) I did learn one valuable lesson the hard way. NEVER open the refrigerator while moving. You can imagine......
Saturday morning Ron, Shelley, Rosemary and Ruby Martin came to visit us from their vacation home here in Flag. The girls thought the coach was better than a fairy princess club house!
Dave Kingston came to our rescue by arranging for wifi service from the Hampton Inn that his company manages. With any luck at all, that is where I will be sending this message from today.
We have satellite radio so we can still receive some “fair and balanced” news from FOX so we don't feel totally out of the loop news wise. I can hear some of you scoffing right now...you know who you are. I'm smiling as I write this!
