MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEARS

Everyone is probably wondering where we are and why the heck they have not heard from us. Some of you have even gone so far as to write and ask if we have falled off the earth (or the bar stool somewhere in Mexico). Sorry to say we are not in any place exotic. We are still in Junction City, KS attempting to take delivery of our New Horizons RV.

I last wrote after Thanksgiving indicating that we had moved into the RV. This picture was taken a few days later when we had an open house. We were happy to be in our new home although by that time we had amassed a check list of 73 items to be fixed. Some we small others not so small. We had numerous issues with the various electrical/entertainment units. The satellite TV worked in the LR but not the BR. The over the air antenna did not work at all since it had not been installed. The one that did get installed was faulty so another one had to be ordered. The furnace was not balanced between the BR & LR. There was a 10 degree difference. The icemaker did not work, etc ... So we presented the list and waited for the elves to appear. Some days they were there and others they were not. Part of the problem was that by that time there were 3 other new RVs that were being delivered and they had issues too.

Finally after 2 weeks I blew up and went to the head man who finally got action. By 12/17 we thought we were ready to go. The last thing Mel wanted to do however was weigh the RV loaded. Turns out we were close to our limits without any water. So no go. At this point we are waiting for new axles and a new hitch. So here we are until mid January.

The good news is that we love our RV and the weather while cold as been sunny for the most part. As I listen to the weather back home and in southern California I am glad to be in Kansas a the present time.

I am fighting with the blog at this time so I will post the pictures separately and see how that works.
