The Moho comes home!!

 Monday 30 September 2024

    We got up, had breakfast and made our plan to go to the RV shop about 10.  We stopped three quarters of the way down for an early lunch.  Diane picked a diner just off the highway in Newport, DE.  I always wonder what we will find.  Turned out to be a nice place and the food was good.

   Meanwhile The RV shop didn't call to say it would be done or not done or anything. I guess you could

This is the bill
she gave us....
something wrong?

say we were in a communication blackout. 😑 As we round the last corner and approach the shop, we are straining our eyes to see the Moho.  It is not out front. 😕 We go in, exchange pleasantries and our services rep walked out for lunch.  Another takes over and says she is working on the bill (wait till you see that) it will be a few minutes (now 12 noon). We walk around for a while, finally I ask if the Moho is done. It should be soon!  Diane leaves me there and heads home (Rudy is home alone) and I settle in to wait. Around 3pm our service rep comes out to tell me it will be ready in 20 minutes.  At 3:30 I'm heading into rush hour traffic on I295 and I 95, but I'm in the Moho and happy.  

   Pull into the apartment close to 5pm backed it up close to the door, turned off the engine and we had a big glass of wine. 🍷😁 The party didn't last long. We started hauling stuff out and loading up the Moho. The biggest thing was getting the refrigerator cool enough to bring our food out.  Another busy day tomorrow, check out time is 11am.

   What a long Day.

Tuesday 1 October 2024

   

    You can imagine what today was like!  Five weeks and 3 days in the apartment and had to clean it out in a day. Finished cleaning out the place we were just a little early. On the road at 10:30. Pulled into Walmar Manor 2ish and parked.  We started with a 2-week reservation but with all that happened we are down to 4 days. And in case you forgot we unloaded as much stuff from the Moho as we could and put it in storage. Once we were parked, I headed to the storage unit to get the ladder and other big items that were just inside the door and blocked the little bit of isle we had. Diane stopped at the grocery store on her way and then cleaned the Moho. Another day of pure exhaustion. Picked up wings from the Legion and called it a day.

One place we didn't
want lunch!!

Wednesday 2 October 2024

   We slept like rocks last night. Didn't wake up until after 7:00.  That felt wonderful!😊 The first full day in Dillsburg. First thing Diane did was cancel one night from our reservation at Ives Run to give us another day here. I walked around the Moho and started a list of items the repair did not do, no mud flap in the back, did not fix the DEF gauge, just name a few. So, we will be going back to get those items fixed. 😡😡Words cannot explain our frustration.

    Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were all about the same. We cleaned and repacked the Moho.  Diane shopped 5 or 6 stores replenishing the cupboards. We were out of the for Moho so long we forgot where stuff belonged.  I would look at an empty spot and would have to think "what am I missing" then I remembered I stored a bunch of containers at Ben's cabin. We will have to repack again once we get up north. We have been trying to visit some relatives while were here but so far, no luck. 

    Thursday afternoon Rudy quit walking almost completely.  Later that afternoon it was all he could do to go outside and pee.  We were extremely worried and started calling vets, no one could see us. I figured it was his hip.  I called Len to get a pain pill dosage, he wasn't home.  Len called back an hour later from Costa Rico.  Ground up a baby aspirin with his dinner. Worried sick we went to bed. 

Friday 4 October 2024

    We weren't the only one worried sick last night. We were abruptly awakened to the sound of Rudy puking in the bed.  I haven't ever seen Diane go from sound asleep to up and stripping the bed a less than a minute. 😁 By 6:20 we were sitting at the table having coffee.  At 6:30 Rudy barfed again right at her feet.  That did it she ran and hid in the bedroom while I cleaned it up. She is a sympathetic puker. The good news is that after Rudy was done throwing up, he started feeling better and moving better. 

   Diane went to the Lemoyne Market picking up some fresh veggies and a 3-course seafood combo for

A great Appetizer

dinner. The rest of the day she spent at the laundromat.

   By the time we were enjoying our shrimp, crab stuffed mushrooms and crab cakes, Rudy was running around having a great evening. We guess he ate something baaaad.😕

   The day ended well.

Saturday 5 October 2024

    Finally got to visit some family.  Diane went to see Chase and Kennedy and I visited with Bev.  Always good to see family. But we are running short on time. I would go to the storage unit then call

Such a cutie!!

Diane to see if what I was looking for was already in the Moho.  The storage unit is a mess.  We need to clean it out completely and reorganize the place. After putting stuff in and out, buying new and leaving things up at the cabin, I can find anything. 😟 I got frustrated and went back.

    Diane has the inside of the Moho pretty well organized, and we can actually find most everything. We had steak, mushrooms and a baked potato for dinner. It was a good ending to the day.

Sunday 6 October 2024

    Our last day in Dillsburg.  Diane spent the beautiful day with Lynne down at Biglerville Apple Festival just as happy as could be. 😀😁 I spent the day on the roof cleaning the edges and clearing the little rain gutters. 😢 Tired and wore out but I had the place packed up by the time she returned.  One last run to the storge unit for my bow and other hunting accessories which I did not find 😟 hope they are at the cabin.

    We made another brief visit to see the grandkids this evening. Shane and Morgan are so busy we have to squeeze a visit when available. The visit lasted longer than we thought so Grilled sausages for dinner.

   A good day! We are packed and ready to head north tomorrow.
