We finally left the Monaco Repair Facility on Thursday about noon and moved down the road about 5 miles to Three Flags RV Resort on Hwy 44 in Wildwood. The reason for going there was that I had changed our reservations at Thousand Trails from Thursday until Saturday as I did not know when we were going to be finished with the repairs. We ended up having only the slide worked on and will get the refrigerator taken care of after Christmas. They are going to have to order new doors and if we had done it at Monaco we would have had to wait for them to come in and be installed. That could have been as long as a month or more.
We will be in Space G30 until 12/19 when we go down to pick up Mama in Frostproof and fly back to Richmond until 12/31. On 1/1 we will come back here to Orlando and spend the next three months. This will be something different for us as we are use to moving after being in a spot for two to three weeks. There is much to see around here to we will spend our time being tourist some days and full timers other days.
Last night while at Three Flags RV Resort, we went up to play BINGO. Buy-in is three cards for $2 and you can play their horse race for $1. I won one and a half games for a total of $8 and Russ won one game for $3. We had spent $5 for cards and horse race plus $2 for ice cream. We came home $4 ahead so we had a great night.
During the day Russ has started waxing the house so he is staying busy and out of trouble for now. He will complete the job one of these days.
We have nothing planned so will just have to wait and see what the next few days have in store for us.
Until next time, take care.

Slow Day
We are still in Wildwood, Florida, at the Monoco/Holiday Rambler Repair Facility. After waiting the entire morning for Brady, our service writer, to come by Russ went to the office and happened to see him there. He said that he really did not need to come out with the description of our problems that Russ had given yesterday, he knew what we needed. The next available technician would not be available until Thursday. They already know that they are going to have to order parts so why can't someone come and just get that started.
During the night we had a very hard rain. It woke me so I got up just to make sure that all the windows were closed and no leaks anywhere as we only had three of the slides out. When we awoke this morning, it was 44 degrees out but did continue to warm into the 70's this afternoon.
Around noon I took a ride over to "The Villages" and went to Wal-Mart. Did not buy anything just walked around looking and stretching my legs for a while. I came back by the moho and picked Russ up and we went and ordered fruit to have sent to his mother and sister for Christmas.
It was turkey vegetable soup for dinner and now some tv.
Until the next time, take care.

Service Work
This morning we left Thousand Trails, Peace River Preserve in Wauchula, Florida, at 8:14 A.M and headed north on Hwy. 17 to Bartow, Florida, where we picked up Hwy. 98. We traveled north to Dade City where Hwy. 301 joined Hwy. 98 and we followed this to Wildwood, Florida, for a total of 109 miles.
Russ checked in with the receptionist here at Camp Monoco, Florida, and we were told that the Service Writer would hopefully be out to see us this afternoon, if not, in the morning. They did know for sure that we would not be able to get a service technician out until Wednesday or Thursday. We did not have a reservation for service so will just have to wait until they can fit us into their schedule. The reason that we are here is that we keep breaking a bolt when putting in the road side slide in the living room and the spacer piece on the refrigerator door have broken and we have to lift up on the door to get it to close.
Late this afternoon we took a ride over to The Villages for supper at Golden Corral. This is one of the largest that I have seen and the food was very good and plentiful. It was back to the moho and TV until bedtime.
For tomorrow, we will just have to wait and see what the Service Writer tells us and then decide how to spend our day.
Until then, take care.
