Ok, so it's been a while, like a week. But really, after the week we've had, can you blame us for not writing? It's been a doozy, lemme tell ya.
First off, we had the world's shortest camping trip. Driving 5 hours for a burger is not what I call fun, even if it was a Bubba Burger. The company was good, and maybe one day we'll be able to actually spend the night at Zooland campground, but not without AC. I'm pretty sure I'd melt and we don't even want to get in to what Mellie does without AC. I think it's one of the signs of the apocalypse or something.
At any rate, the transfer switch is fixed...hoorah. I must say, I didn't need that $450 anyway, it was just burning a hole in my pocket. The price wasn't as bad as we thought it was gonna be, so kudos to the RV Refrigeration repair guys for a job well done. Yes, I said refrigeration guys, as in, they fix fridges and the like. I guess they also fix transfer switches, work on generators, and tell people what that little red light on the driver's side door is that's been bugging us for the entire time we've owed our coach too. I coulda figured it out, but noooooooo, Mellie had to ask...
On top of shelling out a small fortune for the transfer switch repair, we also registered the coach. Here we were thinking it'd cost around $35 or so for the plate and we'd just save up some cash for the big registration/title fees later, but ohhhhh no, North Cacolackey had other plans. We got the plate and the registration for said coach, but it cost us an arm and half a leg. We walked out of the DMV $1500 poorer, scratching our heads, wondering just what a Highway Use Tax really is. I guess I can't be too boggled here...this state taxes my taxes after all.
Let's see, what else has happened? Mellie went into the doctor for some much needed help in getting rid of her unruly stuffy nose syndrome (I know, good name for it...and I didn't even go to med school), only to walk out with a migraine that lasted 2 weeks. Thanks Doc. I guess jamming a lidocaine filled q-tip into your nose until it touches your brain may have side affects...who knew? Back to another doctor via referral and she now has surgery scheduled for next week, probably to remove the first q-tip, and in the mean time, open her sinus passages. I've seen a cat scan of her head, they better bring some dynamite and pack a lunch. Let's not forget the balloon they're inserting into her nasal passage either. I'm just wondering what Mary Kay sells that can hide a balloon sticking out of her nose.
Last but not least, we figured out about half of the remotes we inherited with our coach. Honestly, how many remote controls does an RV really need? We have 3 for each TV, 1 for a DVD player, 1 for the entertainment system, 2 for the DISH network receivers, 1 for the awning, and 1 mystery remote. Yes, we have a mystery remote. It powers something that is made by LG...too bad we have found nothing in the coach that is made by LG. We tried turning it on, turning it off, all to no avail. For a while, I was thinking the little red button on the door had it's own remote control, but that didn't pan out either. So if anyone reads this and finds that their LG doodad is turning itself on and off, it's not possessed. Well, no guarantee there, but before you go asking for an exorcist, it might be me. You know men and their remotes...
