repairs

Tues, Wed, Thurs - Oct 18, 19, 20

I know they are a necessary evil but repairs are a pain in the rear.  The Suzuki needs something to do with bearings in the rear but of course the part has to be special ordered.  Bryant and Stormy can get it faster than the repair shop on base so they ordered it for us.  It should be delivered on Friday and they will fix the car.  I love the ease of towing the Suzuki but it seems like a lot of their parts require special ordering.  And since there are fewer and fewer dealers it is hard to get anything.   So Tuesday was spent diagnosing the problem, Wednesday was spent ordering parts and Thursday was spent waiting on the parts for the car. 

Thursday morning we took the RV in to get the new air conditioner compressor installed.  The heavy duty truck place had ordered it when we arrived here.  They didn't take too long, about 2 1/2 hours to get it installed.  Bill and I spent that time having breakfast and doing laundry.  I know, exciting life we lead. 

We are trying to only drive the car when we need to so we haven't really been anywhere the last few days.  Hopefully next week will be better.  At least we have a nice place to wait for all this work to get done.
