I
had hoped to wake up earlier but settled for getting up at 8:00 this
morning. I hadn’t even made it out of the bedroom when Kathy jumped
out of bed thinking she had overslept. After a quick breakfast we
went to the Computers.
It
was a beautiful looking day but checking The
Weather Network it showed temperatures feeling above the
Century Mark and a very large
Storm System heading our way. I barely checked my E-mail
and finished my Coffee before heading off to the shower
that helped make me feel more alert.
I
had just enough time to finish gathering what was needed. Kathy was
staying behind to do a few things because it was already too warm for
her outside.
I
arrived at our Family Doctor’s Office
a little early so listened to the radio until it shut off. Then
wearing my Mask headed for the door. They have a new sign with
their Phone Number to call so that they will open the door for
you. I was immediately told which Examination Room to go to.
This was a follow-up appointment trying to figure out what had caused
a severe pain in my side. It started around the time that the
Coronavirus was showing up in
this area. Thinking it could be affecting my Lungs they were
checked before having my Kidneys checked. Apparently I had a
slight infection. Along with his recommendation of drinking Cranberry
Juice I also snacked on Dehydrated Cranberries and
Raisins. The pain went away and has not returned. We reviewed
all the Tests and George was very happy with the results.
When
I arrived at the Apartment Kathy
was talking on the phone with Vera. Like I have written before
because Vera lives by herself she has been going stir crazy being
unable to eat out in any local restaurants. I started getting my
supplies out for my afternoon chore while they talked.
As
soon as Kathy was off the Phone we started working together in
the kitchen recreating the Leftover Taco Meat Sauce and
making Spaghetti for lunch. We also had Cherries and a
Yogurt Cup for dessert.
As
soon as lunch was over I set up the table to do our Pill
Doucettes. As mentioned many times before I do Forty-Five Days
worth of Pills at once so it’s not always a Saturday
Evening that this chore has to be done on.
I
always start with Kathy’s Doucettes because there is a
mixture of Prescribed Medications as well as Vitamins where
mine is strictly Vitamins. I had been working on her Doucettes
and was down to the last tablets that had to be split when the Phone
rang.
If
you remember I spoke with the Customer Service Representative
about having our Trailer repaired the day after the US
Memorial Day in May. That was when we set the new date for
its repair that I was mentioning in the Blog the other night.
We were supposed to have the Trailer at the Dealership
this coming Wednesday for its pickup.
It
was J.T. calling from Leisure Trailer Sales
saying there was a man from Indiana
Transport there to pick up our Trailer. Nobody from
the Factory had called us to say
they had moved the date up. We asked if he could wait an hour and he
could.
Lucky
we have the Remote Start on the Truck that allows it to
be started from our Apartment. By
doing so allows the Engine, Transmission and Turbos
to be lubed and ready as soon as we get in the Truck.

As
soon as we reached Guardian Storage
we were able to back up towards the Trailer. Kathy worked on
removing the Tire Covers while I climbed on the roof to lower
the Solar Panels. I raised them last Fall so they would
be more effective and to keep the Winter Snow from building on
them. Of course the more you try to rush the more you fumble with the
small Bolts and Wing Nuts.
We
were pulling out of the Yard at
the time we said we would arrive at the Dealership.
We had to stop at a few Traffic Lights but with the slightly
lighter traffic then we are used to towing in we were only Fifteen
Minutes late getting there.

There she goes. |
When
we spoke to Jeff and said “Nobody had called from the Factory to
move up the date” his response was “It happens all the time”.
He removed the Propane Tanks saying he wasn’t allowed to
transport the Trailer with them in. Next step was to remove
our License Plate and replace it with his Indiana
License
Plate. He also mentioned he was glad the International
Border is still closed to Non-Essential Travel
which makes his job easier. Fifteen Minutes later we were
watching the Trailer heading for the
Border.
Wearing
our Masks we went inside to speak to J.T. and Stephanie. The
Factory Representative had told me he would contact them but
he never did. We’ll probably see them in another month to pick up
the Trailer.
When
we parked our Trailer for the Winter we parked it on
wooden planks to stop the tires from deteriorating. When we pulled
the Trailer out today we didn’t pick up the boards but
didn’t want them to mysteriously disappear either. We headed back
to Guardian Storage to pick up
the boards then stored them in our Storage Unit.
It
was already past 5:00 by the time we left the Storage
Yard. By then we were Hot and Hungry so we
went to Wendy’s Drive-Thru for
supper. We ordered our Chicken Wraps, Small Chocolate
Frosties and Seniors Soft Drinks that we ate while sitting
in their parking lot.
We
arrived back in the Apartment
just as the 6 o’clock Local News was starting. While Kathy
watched from her recliner I listened as I finished doing the
Doucettes. Up to this point our area was the only part of Ontario
that was still in Phase 2 of the Virus
Recovery. Things have finally improved enough that later
this week we will be going into Phase 3. Tonight we can expect
a Severe Thunderstorm but it
should be for only an Hour. We still have a few warm days
ahead before we start having Seasonal Temperatures.
I
didn’t get a chance to read everyone’s Blogs
that we follow today
so that will happen over the next few days. Our Trailer
should be locked away in a Secured
Yard
at the Factory
Repair Center
in Indiana
by this time. Now we have to wait. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

You've
ever been chewed out for using the "good" paper plates.
I really hope they get it fixed this time. I doubt yours is the only one, so maybe they have a tried and true plan. Nice of them to give you so much notice! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrible service center they have to not have given you proper notice. I think I would have been beside myself.
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side it was nice to have received a good health report.
I searched some history in your blog but did not find out the trouble with your rig. Could you tell me where to find the "story". Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I am surprised that picking up your RV was considered an essential service. I never would has thought that. Good for you I guess but it does make me wonder who else is getting into Canada.
