Dang it! The part came in today, but was for regular brakes, not hydraulic brakes. As you know, I’m not very familiar with mechanical things, so as I understand it the needed part is to be able to ‘bleed’ the brakes so they won’t go out on me as I’m traveling down the road. Anyway, the point is that the correct part has been reordered and is due to arrive on Monday. That means another weekend in the parking lot. I’m sure you’re getting as tired of this as I am, but none of you volunteered to take Murphy off my back, so it is what it is.
As you can see, I decided to haul out my rocker, and reinstall the extended stay propane tank. It’s just too hot to sit inside the rig in the afternoon.
I called my sister, Pam, today, and she and Stanley are camping at Chain O’ Lakes State Park in Illinois this weekend. I’m thinking Emma and I may just go up there to visit them tomorrow. It’s a 90 mile drive, but it’s got to be better than sitting out the day in the rig, once again. I’m hoping the traffic won’t be so bad through Chicago since it’s a weekend. We’ll just have to see. I’m sure Emma would enjoy seeing her boyfriend, George, too. 
Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later, Judy
I cannot believe what a nightmare this has turned into for you. I will try not to ever whine again.
ReplyDeleteWhy does that not surprise me! Has there been any other occupied rigs around these long weeks?
ReplyDeleteSo maybe you should write a book, "Parking Lots of America". Seems to me it was about this time of year that you settled into a parking lot in Idaho.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what part they've ordered wrong for you, makes you wonder how they stay in business. Hope that this will finally be the very last part you need.
ReplyDelete90 miles will be worth the distraction from your parking lot campground. I hope your weekend is fun.

Hit the road kiddo! Take Emma and enjoy. I can't figure out why the suppliers do not read the purchase orders! They glance at the order and ship whatever. We have been there and done that. I'd say come on down....but your sis is closer. Oliver would love to meet Emma...
ReplyDeleteChicago will be packed...the marathon run is Sunday and people are arriving from all over the world...Try to go around it if you can....I think a trip to Chain of Lakes is just what you and Emma need, though....
ReplyDeleteKeep the faith, Judy. Better to make sure that the job is done correctly no matter how inconvenient. Give Murphy a good kick in the rear! Pats to Emma.
ReplyDeleteTime to get an unlisted number!

Hey, I'm dealing with Murphy's cousin!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is 'Incredible'!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSay, do you suppose you get get yourself on a 'no call list' so that Murphy character would stop calling and leave you alone. Have you thought of pressing charges for harrassment!! How about getting a gag order issued so that Murphy guy can't come within 500 feet of you.
ReplyDeleteThis becoming an epic story! Murphy has to get bored soon and move on;)
ReplyDeleteIf there were just a little more intrigue surrounding this story, it could be a prime time reality series. You need to get voted off the parking lot!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are stuck for yet another weekend.
Where can we submit your name for the most patient & understanding soul in the RV World? Go see your sister & enjoy!
ReplyDeleteARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING ME?
ReplyDeleteYou do have the patience of a Saint...there is no way I could have or would have been able to take it all as understanding as you have. As my mother use to say, "There would have been some heads rolling on this one!"
You without a doubt win the all time patience award...
dang Murphy!!
ReplyDeleteMurphy must have you on auto re-dial ... here's to you being outta there early next week!
ReplyDeleteAs I read the title of the post, I'm thinking, oh no, not again, won't she ever get to leave? I'd definitely load up Emma and go somewhere, anywhere, just to get away for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI can not believe how cool you are about this nightmare. I'm sure I would have been postal by now. I admire you.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are still having delays. Go visit your sister and spend a night or two if you can!
ReplyDeleteLike I said before, I'll celebrate when it's actually fixed. Hoping Monday brings some better news.

I would say that it is nice to see there are other folks in this world that have my kind of luck, but you have exceeded even my worst nightmare. Keep the faith, and take that auto tour, or tours. It's got to get better! BTW, Still hot in Texas!!!!!
