Boise, Idaho: Another Close Call

Spent the day trying to get the RV AC unit for the bedroom repaired. Received a call from Seventh Heaven letting us know that the capacitor arrived today and, if we brought the RV over to the repair facility, they would install the capacitor and we would be 'good to go'.

We 'decamped', and arrived at the dealer around 1 pm, just as the service techs returned from lunch. They took the RV into one of the bays right away.

So MLA & I had a little time to kill. No problem, we'll go take a look at the new RV's they have on the dealer's lot. Next thing I know MLA is saying we should have bought the Allegro Bus like we originally planned. Suddenly I could feel my wallet starting to levitate and try to escape.

A few short minutes later the salesman was telling us what an incredible deal he could get us on a demo unit. On top of that he would give us 'top dollar' for our trade-in.

Fortunately, the demo unit he has is not the one MLA has her heart set on so we dodged another bullet. Another close call....

Seriously, we know we will upgrade to another unit better suited to 'full-timing' since we have determined we really want to do this full time. And given the current market difficulties of the RV industry it's only a matter of time before the right unit loaded with the right options aligns with a great price.

And I know that when that happens, and MLA is convinced this is the unit she wants, I'll have a difficult time protecting my wallet. It's just a matter of time.

On another front I spoke with our friend Marcie who, with her husband Terry, moved from our old neighborhood to Reno, Nevada. We told them we would visit when we were anywhere close to them. So I called Marcie to see if they would be available next week. Not only are they around, there is a big bike event happening in Reno next week. Given that, MLA and I will leave Boise next Tuesday and should arrive in Reno Wednesday afternoon.

Oh, Marcie decided she would not mention we were coming in to Reno to Terry; MLA and I will simply show up and surprise him at one of the biker events in town. Too cool.

See Ya!
