Monday - 4-15-13..0730, the shop guys at Harolds Auto in Spring Hill, Fl were suprised to see us parked on the lift! They understood my analogy of the wobble. (see last post) & got right to work. As soon as he put the rotor on the lathe the warp was evident. It only required a slight turning and new seals. The brake pads looked fine. By 1000 everything was back together, road tested and off the rack. Back on the road by 1030. YAHOO !!
Very short 1 hour drive to Homosassa FL..We've been here at the Homosassa RV & Pub Park before. Great place to stop. Got welcomed back by the owners and other campers we've met before. We're parked in the same spot as last November too. This place is nestled in trees and Spanish moss. Canal has a marina and occasionally manatee & dolphins visit. We even saw a baby alligator from the pub deck.
We stopped in at Advanced Auto to purchase tune-up parts, they didn't have spark plug wires so they ordered some. Gonna be a day or so and they'll deliver them to us. Since we aren't in a rush that's okay. That's the great thing about no agendas or appointments or future reservations.
Beautiful sunny weather today with 87F. Supposed to be near 90F and sunny all week. Got a feeling the AC is gonna get a workout.
The first thing I did when we hooked up was found no power at the plug. They've done some rewiring at the park recently and obviously forgot to hook up this plug. Had the wrong plug and other issues so Gary, the owner, ran to get proper parts and I changed it out for him (& us)..took a whole hour! Good to go.
He said today is free. Aren't RVers great?
It's time to unwind as sitting in the repair shop wasn't conducive to camping!! LOL !
We really don't mind these little inconveniences. You'd have 'em in a stix & bricks too! In fact, probably a lot more and much more expensive. Tis life for a fulltimer. I always say it's my guide, St Christopher, patron saint of travelers, that's making sure we're in the right place at the right time for repairs by the right mechanic.
REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS, AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY. Charlie & Heather
