Sunday July 5th, 2009

Well, the July 4th fireworks were even better than I remember. We went back to the fairgrounds at about 9:30 and parked in a small business centre parking lot right beside the grounds and you will not believe this, a van parked beside us and we started talking, they are from Edmonton on their way to San Francisco and to top it off, she works at CRA and she has heard of Ross. Is this a small world or what! It didn’t take us long to get back to the KOA and we had a pleasant rest of the night.

We ran into a bit of a problem this morning though, it seems like our living room slide motor has quit as it won’t come in, so we are staying another night, and waiting for a RV repair person to call us back so he can come see what is wrong. So here we sit, it is a pleasant 85 degrees (29c) with a slight wind blowing, 20% chance of thundershowers. We went to Fred Meyer yesterday and found a great deal on a portable air conditioner (we have no air in our house in Bucerias) $200.00 off so we asked the guy if he could hold it for us so we could pick it up today in Betsy, but they wouldn’t so we left it. We are going to take the globe out of the back seat of the car and see if they still have it today and we will have room in the car for it. It’s pretty sad that a 20’ trailer won’t hold all your stuff and you have to have your vacuum cleaner in the trunk of the car and an old air conditioner and a globe in your back seat! Oh well........................ (We won’t mention the stuff we have shoved in the shower stall). The repair guy never did call back so we looked in another paper and phoned another out of work guy. It is now 7:49 Sunday night and our unemployed RV repair guy come to see us from Idaho Falls (about an hour away) and he told us that the motor had burned out and we need to get it fixed. To get a new one shipped would be about 10 days but we could get ours rebuilt and have it installed tomorrow afternoon/night. So here we are in Pocatello Idaho for tonight and tomorrow night then hopefully off to Utah and beyond the next day. We are going to go play pool now; they have a couple of tables in the club house. ps: We went back to Fred Meyer and picked up the air conditioner and got another 10% off just cause!

Talk to you soon
