Yes we got the RV back today. The part never got to the shop until noon and more than one mechanic worked on the installation. It is a sensor for the engine and it is in an almost impossible place to get into.

Thank you for your comments and welcome back. Please remember that this new blog is still under construction. I wish I could reply to you all but time is running out. It is almost midnight and I must get to bed so that I can put in a 12 hour day tomorrow if we want to leave Wednesday. That way we will only be a day behind. Both of our heads are spinning. We spent the evening each in our own area making lists for those caring for our home, doing a bit of this and a lot of that. Dinner was wine accompanied by a grilled cheese sandwich. I had a wonderful plan for dinner but there was no time.

Colin never left the shop until 6PM even thought they closed at 5PM. It was that close to installing the part time wise. We still don’t have a bill as they were too busy. Not to worry, I am certain the we will be getting one.

However it was dark ( 7PM ) when Colin returned and despite my suggestion to wait until the morning to park the RV he wanted to try. We did it in about 20 minutes despite the lack of light.

Looks like I still can’t size my photos, don’t know where to look. I give up.  Have to get to bed. If I am very lucky a fairy godmother might drop by 😎

I was doing a post for LATE Monday night – yes we have the RV. However I lost everything I posted so bear with me.

More or less. Probably less. This new blog site is most definitely under construction however it is functional. And in less than a week since it went down 😀  Truly a miracle thanks to a very very special person in my life. There was so much behind the scenes work and back and forth that my head is still spinning.

The photo at the top of the blog is temporary. We will find something within a few weeks.

We still have no RV part and are really hoping for tomorrow. We did find out that the part was put on a two day courier from Edmonton to Kelowna 😡  Who does that? We would have driven to pick it up to get installed this past Friday. So the plan is for tomorrow but the install is about four hours and there is no guarantee as to the delivery time of the part or even if is the correct part 🙄

Yesterday, Saturday the 15th of October we loaded everything that had been pulled out to load. Everything was placed into totes and bins and carried out to the Jeep. Fortunately Colin was able to fit everything into his vehicle so we could all travel together. Good thing. I was so tired after putting it all away that my eyes were closing. You guessed it, pizza for dinner.

I actually worked a straight 6 hours putting it all away. So that meant that even if we only get the RV by end of day Monday ( tomorrow ) we will still be one day behind schedule giving us Tuesday ( our original D day ) to load up. However the delay meant that we have had to have the internet restored, cancel the parks water shut off and reschedule the plumber who is to blow our the house. I still have not reshuffled our RV park reservations. Figured I would wait until tomorrow.
