We didn't set an alarm this morning. We didn't think anything was going to be done to our coach this morning.  Wrong!  John was sat our door at at 8 AM.  We were up having our coffee but Gerri wasn't dressed.  After we quickly got ready, John took the coach into the shop and started on the step installation.  I described the electrical problem to Kevin.  After some testing he determined the the electrical source manager was bad and replaced it.

Today was wash day.  We took all the clothes and sheets & towels to a laundromat after doing some shopping at the Chief Market.  We need some laundry supplies and grocery items for tonight's supper with the other customers here at Kevin's Camp.  While Gerri got the laundry started I took some of the things that needed refrigeration back to the coach.  I also stopped at a NAPA store to see if they had wiper blades for the motor home.  They didn't and I called Fleetwood and I will have to drive over to Decatur to get them.  I went back to the laundromat and helped Gerri fold the clothes.  Someone had left some type of blue crayon/marker in one of the dryers and some of our wash had blue spots. 

We had decided on keeping the TV in the lounge and will consider remodeling the cabinets later.  We went to Walmart and bought the replacement and some other items for the motorhome.

Back at Kevin's, I met with him and we discussed our list of repairs and remodeling.  Most of the things he could do had been done.  A few items are awaiting parts before they can be finished.  The problems with the slide awning and gaskets will have to be taken to Fleetwood.

Our dinner plans were to meet with the other two couples here for repairs and grill steaks.  We gathered at Gene and Betty's coach, another coach parked just west of theirs provides afternoon and evening shade,  Ronnie and  his wife, Barbara, joined us.  Gerri had marinated some artichoke hearts and Gene grilled them.  Served with a Mexican dip they made delicious hors devours.   We first had these at Wendell's home in Redding and Gerri made an attempt to duplicated them.  Using artificial smoke and other seasonings, they came out great. Gene grilled the steaks and they were served with potatoes and salad that Betty had prepared, Barbara contributed a squash, tomato, and cheese casserole and Gerri had sauteed mushrooms and sliced watermelon.  We had a great meal along with good company.

Gerri went to bed early.  She has been having some back pains.  I stayed up for awhile watching old westerns and went to bed at about 11.
