I hear ya! There's always something to fix on a vehicle or home. Our AC is acting up and my guy is coming out tomorrow morning. I sure hope I don't have to replace the compressor or worse, the entire unit. Even though it's almost fall it's still 90° right now at 7:15 p.m. and it's supposed to be higher tomorrow and Thursday.

You will be glad that you went ahead and fixed it.

UPDATE :

the beat goes on ---- I forgot to mention that shortly before we left for South Dakota we purchased a new printer from Best Buy .... one of their Geek Squad came out and set it up .... when he left, it was working as it should .... right after we got home, Maureen tried to print a document and it wouldn't work .... called and scheduled an appoint to have them come out and take care of the issue .... only thing on today's agenda is a scheduled visit from Best Buy's Geek Squad to get our new printer working .... based on past experience we were a bit surprised that we haven't gotten any sort of recent communications from them .... just got off the phone with the Geek Squad .... some how they totally (and I do mean totally) messed up our information in their computer .... nothing, not our names, address, phone numbers, email address, etc associated with today's appointment was correct .... I know they have the info because I sat there and read it off of an email from them confirming today's appointment .... bottom line, apology offered with no clue how things got so messed up .... appointment rescheduled for Oct 5th​

Go figure. :roll: Good luck James... Interesting what you do. Are the RV's you build overlanders?
Overlanders, Tradewinds, Ambassadors… We do vintage Airstreams. If nobody gets offended, I’ll put a link below just so you guys can have a look. The “trailers” section has photos of individual projects.

I’m not looking to drum up business as we are booked solid for the next 2 years at this point. JEBar, if you don’t want the link, just delete. I won’t be offended.

October 5th?? You buy a new printer, it doesn’t work, and you have to wait another 2 weeks to use it? That is unacceptable in my mind. They should give you a replacement today.

I agree, although it might be a software or set up related issue. nevertheless, they screwed up on scheduling, so he deserves some restitution.

We had this vintage Turbo Diesel from 1995 to 2012 and traveled the country with her.
We finally sold it for a lot of money and bought something with slide outs. Those cozy meetings in the
hall way were fun when we were young, but got confining with old age. :lol:

YEP, THE BEAT ROLLS ON

when I went out to our camper this morning to set the Dish Wally Receiver we've used for several years to record some programs, it stopped working .... called Dish and they confirmed it needs to be replaced .... we do have a spare that was used for several years on our Daughter's camper so I switched it out .... it does work but I is really slow moving from one operation to another .... so a replacement is on order and we will move the older one back to being a spare

Wow Jim, you’re really on a roll. Maybe stay away from anything electronic or mechanical for a few days?🤣
