Lost In My Living Room

 The tale of the lost RV wouldn't be complete without a report of the work done, or not done.  I forgot to mention that I now have three new plugs ... YAY, not that they will last long ... and one that didn't get touched.  I suppose I'll have to fix that one myself.  On the other hand, I now have a bright blue light to illuminate the steps at night.  I'm sure my neighbors will love that!!  

As for raising the back jacks, he told me they could not do that because it would require welding on the frame.  No it won't.  Oh yes, you cannot move them because the frame is in the way.  Obviously he has never worked with ME before.  I've been under the back of that thing three times and there is no welding required.  Nothing is in the way of removing five bolts, moving the jack stand up and replacing the bolts.  No worries I told him, I'll do it myself.  

You would be proud that I didn't read him the riot act as he spouted off a bunch of crap.  Really, you shouldn't be such a pompous A$$ when dealing with motorhome people.  Most of them know everything about their rigs ... and you just showed how dumb you really are.  He was seriously like that used car salesman we all hate.

Anyhoo .... yesterday morning Cooper and I watched a special on the Yellowstone wolves.  He has never cared less about dogs or anything on TV.  When he heard them howling however, he went all protective on me.  I laughed out loud!!

He even ran up to the TV to chase them off.  Too funny!!  Totally out of character for him.

I spent the next couple of hours finishing up this quilt with a new bear claw pattern.  LOVE it!!  I was particularly thankful that it went like clockwork.  Not one single problem.

Of course in between quilting, I had to spend most of the time on the floor entertaining this guy.  This is my view from the cheap seats.

And then this happened!!  Everything that could go wrong, did!!  I don't know why, but the machine got completely lost in my living room.  I placed it exactly where it needed to start, but it insisted it was way over at the very edge.  Kind of like your husband when you're telling him you are HERE and he insists you are WAY OVER THERE on the other side of town!!  No amount of explanation will work.

I called for backup.  Instead of just saying GO HERE, the gal went through all kinds of explanations that made no sense.  Just tell me what buttons to push!!  At last I hit GO and I was about half an inch off.  Thirty minutes of ripping out thread and I was back to square one and still lost.

In the end I threw up my arms (like you in the passenger seat) and just went with it.  It was off, but I suppose not far enough that anyone could really tell.  But wait ..... just like following that GPS to the wrong road, there was another dead end.  I apparently didn't measure when I cut the backing because it was two inches short.  

I threw up my arms and gave it the silent treatment!!  It just won't listen!!!

I certainly did listen however when Patty called to ask if I wanted to go to Red Lobster again.  Heck yeah!!!  Come to find out it's their 42nd wedding anniversary!  She even showed me pictures.  I just can't believe we were ever that skinny!!!  Dinner was delicious and they got a free desert ... but no singing.  Probably a good thing!

That means I didn't get to the coyote pictures, so they are first on my schedule today!!
