Happy, Happy (Chattanooga, TN)

 

We would like to say Happy Passover and Happy Easter to all of our family and friends.

After spending two months in Kissimmee and going to Disney World 8 more times, we spent two weeks at Cedar Key RV Resort in Cedar Key, FL.  We really liked Cedar Key RV Resort so much that we signed up to spend much of next winter there.

So far the month of March has turned out to very expensive.  First the automatic satellite dish stopped working.  Luckily, I purchased a manual dish for times that the automatic dish was blocked by trees.  I learned from years in the computer business, always have a backup.  Finding a qualified tech is very difficult, I had to take the dish off the roof and ship it back to Winegard, the manufacture, for repair.  When we received the unit back, it had to go back on the roof.  Ann and I just couldn’t lift is back up.  We had to call a mobile RV repair service to help get the antenna back on to the roof.  I then reinstalled the antenna. 

In the middle of all this Monday morning while making breakfast we heard a loud bang and lost all AC power.  After doing some trouble shooting, I narrowed it down to the Inverter/Charger.  I asked the Mobile RV tech to look at the problem,  but is was too complicated and high tech for him.  Thank God for Amazon Prime.  In two days and $2000 later the new Magnum 2800 watt inverter/charger showed up.  It took me a full day to remove the old unit, modify all of the wiring to fit the new unit and set it up.  I do not bend like I used to.  Working in the confined basement is not as easy as it used to be. 

But the automatic satellite dish is working and the power is flowing, so we are happy campers again.

Now time to explore Chattanooga.  That is for another blog. 

Tonight is the First Seder.  We are going to a Seder at a local Temple here in Chattanooga.

 

After we leave Chattanooga we are heading to Indiana to have the coach painted.  As many of you already know, while they are painting the coach we will be going to Dubai to visit Evelyn and also see Caroline and Andrew.

Life is still Great on the Roan Road.
