Where are we today ?
Last night was a cold one, management drove about informing everyone to shut off the water and disconnect our hoses because of the cold weather and no cloud cover overnight. We are toasty warm no problem, water in our tanks no problem and had a great nights sleep. A small electric heater overnight and Mr. Heater when we are up no problem. Ran the furnace in the morning for about 15 minutes at 5 am when I got up and all is good with a well insulated coach and dual pane windows.

Early morning walkabout can see the sun burning through the morning fog and before long the sun is shinning brightly.

A walk down by the lake, just love it, is nice and peaceful here, off season and can barely hear the traffic going across the bridge into town.

Shortly after 9am got a phone call from the office, package has been delivered by courier for us. That is the part that we had ordered for our Fantastic Fan last week. A new speed control, looks like it has been modified from the old one. A ten minute install and now our fan works FANTASTIC! All three speeds, the part and shipping was no charge, sure do love dealing with a company that stands behind their products. Considering that out fan is 14 years old too!

We could not have had a better day. Clear blue skies and very warm sunshine on our patio. Temps in the mid 60's feeling like almost 80 degrees, lovin' it, bare feet! We got to relax and enjoy our books for a while. Neighbors stopped by to chat and a new rv'er asked me to help them get their furnace running, because they had no heat last night and could not figure out how the start their furnace. There coach is a Holiday Rambler similar to ours. No problem, a few minutes showing them the settings that control their heat and AC, now is working fine for them.

While Suzie was reading she had a friend drop by for most of the day, no doggies but a bug,
"walking stick" stayed by her side for a few hours.

You have had a wonderful time. Walking by the river side make us feel relax. Sunrise through the fog looks so beautiful. Enjoyed your food!!. Beautiful shot of Walking bug.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying our adventures heading south, taking it easy.
DeleteThat ice on the windshield certainly makes me feel cold. I'm glad we're not in weather we have to scrape the ice off.
ReplyDeleteDid not scrape it off, waited for the sun to melt it, did not take too long.
DeleteI would imagine you don't have any kind of wind-shield scraper with you. Kind of like taking along a snow shovel. Doesn't matter though, since you can just wait for the frost to clear.
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty neat about the "Fantastic Fan" company and how they stand behind their product. A warranty is only good when you need it, otherwise it's just a bunch of "fresh air".
Hey Bob we actually do have a windshield scraper and small snow shovel in the trunk of the car, you just never know.
DeleteIt is sure nice to find companies like that still operating today. They have an excellent product and worth every penny you pay for it. Our two previous RV's we installed one and loved it too.
Brrrr...frost is pretty but too cold.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got the fan fixed.
I haven't seen a walking stick in years.
Like you its been a long time since we saw one too.
DeleteSure looks like you're in a beautiful spot there, George - except for that frost of course. But, heck, if you're not traveling in the morning who cares as it'll melt by itself in a few hours.
ReplyDeleteI had a similar experience with Fantastic Fan on our old 5'er. Couldn't believe they sent me all new parts for free with no charge for shipping. Amazing.
It was just one frosty night and even if we are travelling usually don't hit the road before 9 am so not a big deal for us. It is a nice spot here.
