Birthday Week-end continued

Everyone was gone by noon Sunday.  A long nap, early dinner, and early to bed. Then the storm came. The wind had been blowing 20-30mph since Wednesday. About 11:00 it picked up to 50-70mph for 3 hrs. First time ever we went to the save- room. We got a call , about 1:30, our boathouse had broken loose and was on shore.

Birthday Week-end

I took our coach to the shop on June 2 to get it prepped for the Alaska trip.

Friday June 3  "Needs new AC, rear brakes and seals (leaking), new valves on front leveling system(leaking), oil and filters, lub. Start Monday be done Friday"   OK

Friday June 10  " Didn't get the rear brakes and seals done. Pick it up Monday afternoon."

Monday June 13  "Brakes and seals are done, BUT  'they' ran into it with a forklift on Saturday and it is  in   the body shop. Be ready Friday morning."

Friday June 17  " Running a little behind. Will have it back and all washed up mid afternoon"

I arrived at the shop at 4:30 (2hr drive). "It has left the body shop and should be here any time"
5:30  " It's here ! The body work looks good. BUT the rear seals are both leaking."  " Be fixed by Monday"

By the time I got back home Barb and Don were here. Kate and Lindy showed up shortly and we forgot about the bus.
