| The Three Witches from MacBeth |
Quite fitting, that I should steal a quote from Shakespeare's MacBeth to title this post, with it being the night after the witches favorite of all nights of the year. We find ourselves with a bit of trouble, we have toiled and I have a cauldren bubbling - albeit it's only chicken soup, it did make for a grand entrance. No?
We
experienced another night of intermittent sleep due to the pitter-patter of the
rain, and occasional acorns pinging off the roof. At first, the acorns were
dropping down like Cherrios being poured into a cereal bowl. I
pictured impish squirrels, laughingly throwing them down at us as a Halloween
prank. I’m glad they were sent to bed before us.
This morning we
were greeted with the continued rhythmic sound of falling rain. It is a
soothing sound, and one that makes you want to just stay inside and watch it
all from the windows. The weight of the rain on the remaining leaves in the trees is causing
more and more to find their eventual place on the ground, making for a beautiful,
multi-colored blanket that covers the green grass.
My accomplishment for the
day was to prepare a big cauldren of chicken vegetable soup that will be able to feed us for a week. There should be no hurry to venture out, my pretty.
As hard as he
tried, “G” could not determine a cause for the electric hot water heating
element failing to work, thus requiring him to schedule an appointment with Scott RV for another look-see and repair or replacement. This has now caused a small
kink in our previously scheduled road trip south. We will be detoured much
further east and it will necessitate some route tweaking to get our repairs
completed and then back on track for at least the first important stop -
Raleigh, NC, where we shall be celebrating an early Christmas with my son and
his family.
Following a schedule is a not an option, but a requirement, when you have three kids all under
10 years old, who are all involved in extra-curricular activities. We had
planned to meet up the first weekend in December over two months ago, and being
flexible won’t be an easy or pleasant task for my son and daughter-in-law.
Besides, I have parks booked straight through from that stop until March 1st.
I DO NOT relish the idea of rescheduling any of them.
So, today, while the
soup simmered and filled Allie with delicious aromas, I amended our original
itinerary to accommodate a nagging “necessity.” It wasn't too bad. No reason to put a spell on Scott RV, this time...
Deep thought for the day: I have come to realize, that you can’t
plan your life; life plans you.
My comment for today is for G to call Tiffin in Red Bay Alabama and speak to them about your water heater issue. A coach as new as your's should not be having issues and my guess is they will help you resolve the issue...might be worth a try.We had water heater issues when we bought our's new, called Tiffin and they had a Tech call us back and talk us through...just a suggestion.Might save you a re-route.
ReplyDeletep.s. love your blog.
Love your "comment for the day." It is a great suggestion and I will tell "G." Monday has been designated as catch-up day, we each have several phone calls to make...Tiffin will be "G" #1.
ReplyDeleteA thought to ease your XYZ mind from Steinbeck's, Travels With Charley, "A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we not take a trip; a trip takes us.”
ReplyDeleteanother important issue is to have your names attached to the VIN number of your coach, we learned this first hand too. That way if any recalls are issued you will be notified and be able to make the appropriate repairs. We just got a recall for some little light on top of the RV, we took it to our service center, had it changed and Tiffin paid for it. Also all of your appliances attached to your rv..also check into joining the Allegro Club, keeps you posted about gatherings and all kinds of fun things...Tiffin owners are very proud owners and some of the friendliest we have met, plus you can share your RV experience and hints....
