Return to the land of Electronics

 Tuesday 20 August 2024

   Well, here we are back in the land of internet service. We parked at Walmar Manor and were set up by 5:30pm, with our normal travel day burgers on the grill for dinner.  We were later than planned.  Haven't packed the up the Moho for 3 months, but we made it before dark.

Wednesday 21 August 2024

   And so, the crazies begin.  We have only 3 days to clean out the Moho before it goes to the repair shop. And while we were hooking up the car yesterday, I notice the inspection EXPIRED in May. So, the first thing this morning was to drop it off at Pennick's for inspection. 
   Next was a trip to Bev's to check out her flooded basement. I think redoing her downspouts would help a lot. Then the first of several trips to the storage unit. We are trying to get valuables out of the inside and as much out of the damaged storage bins as possible.
   Then Pennick calls to say he can't inspect the car because the computer is empty of data.  Seems when we disconnected the battery to tow it, it wipes the computer history clean. They drove it for an hour or so, it still didn't reset.
   By now it was dinner time, and the car must wait till tomorrow.

   Right after breakfast Diane went down to Pennick's picked up the car and drove it around (100 plus miles) before the computer reset. Back to Pennick's, got the sticker put on, paid the bill then over to pick up her new eyeglasses.
   I washed the front of the Moho; I'm planning on the repair shop doing a complete detail after it gets fixed.  And on course another drop off of stuff, pick up stuff from the storage unit.
  I forgot a few days back Diane went into the bathroom turned on the exhaust fan and nothing! I


checked fuse it was good.  Got the electric meter and I had twelve volts on the wire. Time to tear it apart! First, I couldn't get it loose from the wall, so I tore the one in the kitchen apart. The unit in the bathroom was held in place with a large glob of silicon. I finally got it apart and found a wire broke loose from the circuit card. OH no. Searched the internet/call parts distributors nothing. 😠Gotta move on we have just one more day before we leave.

Friday 23 August 2024

   This is our last day in Dillsburg before moving into the Air BNB in Akron.  Diane spent the morning with Morgan and the kids. I went to Bev's to get my glasses I left there on Tuesday. 
   Then I took the circuit card to the exhaust fan to a computer repair guy I found in Mechanicsburg. He soldered the wire back on while I waited.  It took 10 minutes and cost $35, that's a really good hourly rate😒, but we have a working fan. 
   We meet at Hoss's for lunch. That was OK.  Diane went to exchange some clothing she bought earlier this week. I went for a haircut. Started cleaning/ packing up the Moho for the move tomorrow. We finished rearranging our entire lifestyle/Moho to live at the Airbnb for 3 weeks.
   Just about done when we realize we need to make one more trip to the storage unit. Right, wrong or indifferent we must leave tomorrow.
