When I went to bed last night the clock was flashing. The power had been cut to it again and I didn't know what the time was to reset it so I just unplugged it and went to bed.
Rob woke me up and said I didn't have to get up yet, but soon. I told him to wake me up when it was time to go, all I had to do was put clothes on.
A few minutes later I got up, took Boo out for a pee and sat down with a cup of coffee that turned into two.
I had to take Rob to the Airport so he could fly to Seattle. He has his yearly training for the next three days.
Bella and I drove back to base and returned the movie.
We went back to the rig and thought about what to do for the day. It was still very overcast with sun around the edges. It is supposed to clear up, be sunny and warmer over the next several days.
I want to go to Santa Fe and thought about going today, but remembered that my car is supposed to be done today and I have to go and give them the loner back within 24 hours of them calling me that mine is ready. So, I decided tomorrow would probably be better.
I picked up an adult coloring book about dogs and puppies, when we were in Taos, so I decided to do a page. It wasn't as relaxing as it is supposed to be. The whole time I was stressing about the time I was wasting and the fact that I am a lousy artist. It was actually somewhat stressful. I did stay with it to the end, but I certainly don't believe it turned out to be anything to write home about.
Soooo, I turned to the blog.
I was really far behind on it, and again, it is due to the lousy internet connections where it comes to getting the pictures off my phone and onto my computer. Surprise, surprise, they were all there.!
I worked on it throughout the morning and then Lexus called me and told me the wheel had arrived and the maintenance had been completed, that the air conditioner filter was dirty and so it was replaced, but they did not have my tire in stock and neither did Phoenix. So, they had to order it from Calif and its ETA is not until Monday, but they may get it tomorrow. I said no problem, as long as I can keep the loaner I am here until Tuesday anyway. I said if it is going to be longer than Monday let me know so I can extend my stay. OK, so no more worries about that.
I got all caught up on the blog.
We had a bit of an incidence yesterday afternoon. When I got back from the gym I was heated up from the run and needed to cool down before shower. So, I started playing computer games when then, not only did I get cooled off, I got cold, so I turned on the fireplace. Rob came home and I was still goofing around, and I asked him to turn on the heat, which he did and then headed into the bedroom. all of a sudden there was a big clang like something had fallen or something. Then there was a smell. Rob came out and the fuse panel was open and the "second air conditioner" circuit was popped. I also heard a pop next to me while I was sitting on the couch which I figured was the GFIC. I reset the AC circuit while Rob went out to check the outside circuit which had popped and he reset it. I was feeling the the panel and under the main circuit it was quite warm and the burnt smell was there. Rob came back in and turned off the main circuit and when he flipped it back on there was a pop and a spark. Holy Shit we both said at the same time. But, everything is working again. Of course we turned off the fireplace, but we really don't know what happened.
Rob started calling around and got ahold of a Mobile RV guy who right now is scheduled to come out on Tuesday to check things out. If he gets a cancellation he will come out sooner.
In the mean time, I told Rob to turn on the fireplace and then flip the fireplace circuit breaker. Sure enough, when he did, nothing happened. When the guys re-did our back end, took out the fake fireplace rock work, installed the cabinets and rewired, then didn't wire the fireplace onto the same circuit it was on before. They've wired it in with other things which is why we are always blowing circuits when it is on. They did such a crappy job with the whole thing. Lesson learned, go with the professionals, Never try to save money by going with the fly by night guys.
So, someone is coming out Monday and hopefully he can get us straightened out.
One of these days, perhaps we will be able to get back on the road and continue with our journey. But in the mean time, we are in a safe place that is easy to get in and out of and anything that we need to be fixed or adjusted should be available here.
I put the rugs and the chairs out and sat outside for a bit. I also took the plants outside. It had been really windy so we brought them in and set them on the sewing cabinet. It was nice to get them out and into the sunshine. It was nice for us to sit outside and enjoy the day as well.
I spent the working on my stitchery. I am working on June's Kleenex box. Rob picked out a sail boat and ocean scene. It is coming along. It is in a book rather than on the computer, so I cannot enlarge it. That is making it a bit difficult with similar colors. Thank goodness for the flash light on the iPhone. Proper light makes all the difference in the world.
During the late afternoon a SUV towing a very very tiny little trailer pulled up. They had 2 adults and 4 children. There was no way they were going to all fit in the little trailer. I watched as they pulled everything out and then set up a very large tent. Ahhhh, that makes sense. They spent quite a bit of time staking it down and then attaching and staking down a rain cover. It took them quite some time to get everything set up. I kinda miss our tent camping days.
