Somethings gotta give

 Tuesday 24 September 2024

   Happy part first. I went to Sunnyside Pastries to pick up a pie we were getting for Bev, planning on having the Moho back today, but that didn't happen.  Lynne came down and went to Root's Farm Market with Diane.  I met them for lunch at the Market. There was a Louisiana (style) food vendor there and I tried the Cajun Combo, kind of a blend of gumbo, and etouffee with beans and rice all mixed together.  It was good but not much seafood.  The girls had perogies.  After lunch they went back shopping, I walked around a bit, looked at some old coins and headed back home. On the way back the RV shop sent me a picture of the Moho all taped and ready for the paint shop. OH YEA!  Diane made it back around 3pm and sent Bev's pie home with Lynne, which was delivered safely.  It was either that or we would have to eat it ourselves. 😏 Diane picked up dinner at the market called "million-dollar chicken" it was pretty good.

    Today was a regroup day. Changing our reservations both here and at Dillsburg is wearing our patience's awfully thin. 😖 The RV shop sent a picture of the Moho with one coat of paint and being taped for the second. So, I ask if would be done Friday.  They answered with 'it should come out of the paint shop' tomorrow.  I asked again and they said not "confident about Friday but Monday for sure." We changed all our reservations to leave here Saturday with the Moho. Now changing again to leave Monday.  I'm eating a lot of Tums!!

    Trying to occupy a few remaining brain cells, we headed out for an all-day adventure.

This is what we see when we are leaving!! 

  Really not much of an adventure, went to the Credit Union, wine store and hit one antique store (beside the liquor

Found some nice things,

store) before having lunch at The Park Place Diner.  The food and service were both good. After lunch we made another run on the antique stores.  Today started the famous Adamstown Antique Extravaganzas with most dealers offering 20 to 50% off.  The really nice items were only 10% but we found several items we needed for the storage unit. 😏😂😁

   Like all good things, it came to an end with a called from the RV shop. At 3:30pm I texted them.  They said it would be out of the paint shop first thing on Friday. I ask when it would be done, they said after it comes out of paint shop it needs to be buffed and pass QC. We are still hoping to get it Monday!

at decent prices.

Friday 27 September 2024

    You will not believe today.  It all started out ok we had a quick breakfast and packed Diane up to go to Lynne's this afternoon.  She is being sworn in as an Elks member on Saturday at 8:30 am (yes in the morning).  Around 11am they texted they missed a spot on the wheel well and it needs to go back to paint shop. she would text me as soon as she had an update. 😠😡 Words cannot explain our feelings. 

    So, Diane and I went out for lunch to the Ephrata Diner. Nothing special and we were too upset to enjoy it anyway. Back to the apartment dropped me off and Diane headed to Lynne's.  They did a little shopping Picked up some Thai for dinner and went home.

   Meanwhile back at the ranch The RV shop never called.  I waited until almost 4pm before I texted the RV shop. They now are thinking Tuesday or Wednesday next week.  Well, I just lost it!!!  I texted back "that was unacceptable, and I was picking it up one way or another on Monday" I was so mad!  Then I texted Diane to call me when she can, but in my angry rage I mistakenly sent to the RV shop. 😕 But the RV shop did call and after going back and forth a few times I just reiterated I needed it Monday by lunch. 

   So, at this point we have no idea what we will find on Monday!

Saturday 28 September 2024

   Diane was up, showered and on her way to the Elk's by 8:00.  The ceremony/swearing in lasted until 11:00. WOW She did however get a free lunch out of it. She stopped to have a Starbucks coffee with Lynne before coming back. She got back around 2 o'clock.

   I've been binge watching ' Last Alaskans' and managed to get quite a few episodes in the past two days. 

   Now, about are luck!  We settled in, talked a bit and started happy hour just a little late. We had burgers, fresh corn on the cob and fresh tomatoes on the menu for dinner. "Life is grand" I started the grill while Diane prepped the corn. I went over to clean the grill and @#$%*& I am out of propane.  Now I always keep a spare little green bottle of propane for just such an occasion. It is in the Moho!😣  Leftovers for dinner. P.S. with wine!

Sunday 29 September 2024

   We must be getting old, sipping our second cup of coffee we agreed to a nice breakfast on the grill and just relax a bit.  Now, wait for it ......... I went to start the grill!  You know no one filled the tank last night. We laughed!😂 Diane made us egg sandwiches.  Then I went for propane. 

   Still laughing we went to the New Cloister restaurant for lunch.  Diner type food, it was OK. Went to two more antique stores before heading home. Planning once again for burgers and corn for dinner.

Tomorrow should be interesting!
