AUGUST 8 to 21, 2007

AUG 8,  Wednesday

 

Another sunny day.  Took the truck to Salmon Arm to get the heat gauge for the tranny fixed.  After a diagnostic test, found out it was a wire that came unhooked.  Fixed and $45 later I was on my way.

 

 

AUG 9-12

 

Worked on the site doing odd jobs that needed to be done.  Had happy hour with our neighbours.  It's been cloudy and cooler these last 2 days.

 

 

AUG 13, Monday

 

A sunny day.  went to Vernon to get a scan on my liver and other organs.  Nice drive there and back.  Took an hour a half which is pretty good since I wasn't driving fast either.  Stopped in Salmon Arm on the way back and check e-mail and picked up the mail.

Called Fleetwood to confirm that Todd at Festival RV had called them.  Found out that he wasn't sure what the list he received was about and there was no name on it.  God all mighty....If you don't do things yourself , it all get screw up.  I am definitely not impress with Festival RV in Red Deer and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM!  Matt at Fleetwood wants a list of repair needed on the rig.  Will fax that tomorrow.

Anyway, after clearing up the miscommunication, I was told that they had the parts needed and to phone them a week before we came down.

 

 

AUG. 14, Tuesday

 

Called Butler.  They have all the part so set up an appointment for next Tuesday, Aug 28th.  I will be glad when this is done.  It's taken a LOOOOOONG time.

Also faxed a list of repair to Matt at Fleetwood.

 

 

AUG 15, Wednesday

 

Got a lube and oil change done on the truck.  While driving out of our place, I saw a young black bear running on the road.  He didn't seem very scared or nervous...

 

 

AUG 16 to 20

 

Quiet week-end.  Went on the lake with Laurie and Dennis in their boat and swam or dipped is more like it.  It was a hot and sunny day, however it did rain on Sunday or was that poured!? 

Built more shelves in the shed and reorganized things in there.

 

 

AUG 21, Tuesday, sunny with some clouds

 

Took the truck back to First Klass transmission to get a leaking seal fix on the tranny. (warranty work)  Also got them to check it out completely and changed the oil in the rear axle.

 

In the evening, he got invited by Dennis and Ruth to go to Scotch Creek for some ice cream.  Went for a glass of wine to their place afterwards. 

 

See you next time....I have uploaded some pictures if interested
