Our New Home!!

Monday13February 2023

Our new (to us) Moho.  

   Things are coming together; I'm still trying to find space underneath for my stuff, but Diane has made great progress. We noticed the ice maker doesn't work and I started looking into that. Watched a lot of U-tube videos and I hate to say it, but it looks easy enough to replace. Time will tell.  And Diane is having trouble with the wash machine sometimes it starts right up and sometimes she has to turn it on and off push all the buttons twice. Sometimes she wins and sometimes the washer wins.😞

Tuesday 14 February 2023 (Happy Valentine Day)

   I got up found the card I had for Diane and placed by her coffee cup. She got up later read her card and explained she had a card for me but somehow lost it while packing/unpacking. Yea right that never worked for me. We were down to just a few things in the trailer that I wanted to clean it out and so I could return it to Len. And you won't believe it, but as I was sorting through the last box or two, I found the Valentines Day card. So, she is off the hook, this time.

   I checked the credit union and the old RV loan is still not paid off.  I called the RV dealer and they had not sent the payment😡 but assured me it would go today and even sent me a picture of the Fed Ex label. The label wasn't attached to any envelope yet, but it was printed.

   But they couldn't ruin Valentines Day.  We opened a nice bottle of wine and enjoyed our steak and shrimp diner while admiring the progress we have made.

    At least the weather has been great while we are carrying, sorting, and rearranging the Moho. Some days we didn't even shut the screen door during the day. Diane has even started redoing cupboards already and even ordered a shelf for beside the bed. I crammed the last items in the underneath bins.  I had two tubs of stuff in the bed of the truck. I got them out to sort, turns out all the stuff in them I need.  They will just have to ride in the truck until I home and sort out all the bins. We finally took an afternoon and went for a nice bike ride/walk. I felt so good I added an extra half mile to my ride.

    The Moho is really starting to feel like home.😊  We have been working on getting the place ready to go. I have been checking on a braking system for the Moho since the old one worked with the air brakes on the old coach.  I called our hitch installer to make an appointment and their next available time slot is the third week of March. We will be long gone by them.  So now checking out some other options.

    Back to the RV dealer and the old loan. Sure enough, they sent the check and the credit union received it this afternoon, but the title paperwork wasn't signed so they can't pay off my loan. This is 8 days after we settled. I was quite irritated and called the RV dealer and expressed my "disappointment".  They reassured me they were working hard and the paper work person is new. 

Friday 17 February 2023

    Diane has finally got the wash machine under control (for now) and we are back pretty much to the regular routines. Now, every time you want something you have to think hard look around to see what cupboard it may be in.

    We received an email from credit union stating our insurance has been dropped on the old Moho. Yes it was because we don't have it anymore. But since the loan isn't paid off they are going to take out insurance at our expense.  This is really starting to snowball out of control. Eight days now since settlement. I called the RV dealer, AGAIN.  The owner called back said they fired the title person and the previous title specialist was working on it and faxed everything to the credit union. 

   To work off some frustration we went for a ride.

Saturday 18 February 2023 (Happy Birthday to Shawna Kay)

   This would have been Shawna's 51st birthday. We went over to Nobleton to the New Riverside

Restaurant.  The food was ok, I had the shrimp diner and Diane had chicken cheese steak sandwich. But the restaurant is close to the cemetery. After visiting the cemetery and being all sad we drove down to check out a state campground at Silver Lake.  It was nice and a large lake to kayak on but as with most state parks non sewer.  We stopped and watched a turtle as she was crawling out of her nest.  It was a really nice day, temperatures in the mid 80's. 

   A friend of ours 'Brad' came over to see if he could help/fix the ice maker.  He tried several different things, but nothing worked.

The turtle crawling out 
of her nest!!

Sunday 19 February 2023

    Other than having to store the two boxes of stuff we are selling in the truck every night and getting them out every day we are done.  Trailer returned to Len. We do like the windows in this unit they are bigger and let a lot more light in.  We do have a doorbell that I like, Diane not so much. When I'm out grilling, I ring the doorbell for her to bring me stuff. Some reason she says it is irritating.  Diane

Nasty, Nasty

received her shelves yesterday and returned them today just didn't think they will hold up to the traveling.  I gave up on fixing the ice maker and removed the whole unit.  It actually wasn't that tough. Once I got it out, I'm glad I did it the ice mold itself is covered with some kind of flakey scale. 

 Monday 20 February

   As soon as 8:00 am rolled by I was on the phone to windle down the list of things to do.  First (after getting Diane coffee) was to order ice maker.  I called and they are in central time zone and not open.  As soon as 9:00am rolled by I called the credit union closed for presidents day.  It is now 11 days since settlement and the old loan is still not paid off.  I see how this day will go. After some more coffee I called and believe it or not I managed to get the ice maker ordered, batting 50% now.

   Next, I headed over to Len's to do a little work. First, I forgot to drop of Diane's prescription so back into town, then back to Len's.  As soon I got out I realized I forgot my chain saw, gloves, nippers and water. I knew the day would go like this.  Went into the barn and Len was out of chain saw oil. I managed to work a couple of hours and headed home around. 3:00pm.

   Back to the Moho ribs on the grill with a small glass of wine.😏
