We are in Jamul, east of San Diego. We have very unstable wi-fi. Some days it works (like right now) and most days it doesn't! I feel like I have to type fast before it goes away!
Before we left Wilderness Lakes, my washer stopped working. It started making a funny noise and then it would only wash, no draining, no spinning! So we set up an appt. for Friday at Pio Pico. The washer is only 4 years old and the rear gear prematurely stopped working along with the pump. The pump would be covered under our extended warranty but with our $200 deductible, we would receive back $10! The gear is $900, kid you not. The washer was a Whirlpool but made in Italy and you can't get the part for over a month and is too expensive. So we bought a new washer yesterday. I made the appt. with Sears and if we had gotten the 1-yr warranty for $319, part would have been covered but we would still have to wait a long time. So a new washer is coming on Monday.
We stopped by Webb's RV on our way down to Jamul on Wednesday to have the toilet fixed. They replaced the part but it still isn't working right. When I called they said it was my fault because I told them what the part is that wasn't working and so that's what they replaced! WHAT! We will take it back to make it right but will not deal with them again! I also told them that when they resealed our roof, instead of the one small leak we went in for, we had two bigger leaks when we went through our first rain storm in Texas!
All I can say is that our repair woes continue! I'm thankful we have our health and that it's only mechanical, but come on!
On a happier note, we had dinner with our friend Peggy Price Wednesday night and caught up with her.
Thursday I had my nails done by the best nail person ever (and I've been with a lot of nail people while traveling), Kim and my friend Jeri got hers done at the same time so we had Starbucks and were happily chit-chatting while we got our nails done (it's a girl thing)! Then Thursday night we had dinner with Ted's H.S. classmate, Rusty Coole up in Escondido to catch up with him.
Yesterday after buying a washer, we had dinner at Ted's classmate's; Jim and Della Crownover. Jim barbecued chicken, Della made homemade potato salad and coleslaw, delicious white corn on the cob and fresh melon. We brought dessert, a recipe that I found in Parade magazine to cut up peaches, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon and wrap each person's batch in tin foil and put on the grill. You grill for 15 mins. and then put over ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce! It was pretty good too! Then we played a card game of Phase 10. Jim was the big winner. Ted almost came from last, last place to win but Jim pulled it off at the last second!
Back in San Diego visiting with friends..."Ain't Life Grand!"
