4/13/07 Bored to Death!

We are bored. There is NOTHING to do around here. Nothing, Nada, zip, zero, zilch, NOTHING!

We started our morning on the phone. Calls made to the wholesale flower company to find out if they forwarded the paperwork to their insurance agent, then to the insurance agent to make sure he got them and where did they stand on his list priorities. The agent we needed to speak to was in a meeting, of course, and we had to wait for his return call. His assistant did assure me that they received the fax and that she would have him call us as soon as he was available. We went on with our day.

First stop today was at the body shop where our rig is. We needed to get a few things out of it and Bob wanted to put a locking chock between the wheels so that no one can hook up and drive off with it. In our haste yesterday to fill out paperwork, pack things we needed, making sure all the compartment doors were locked, well we drove off without taking care of that precaution. Bob thought it about last night and it was on his mind all night long.

After that we went for a ride for the lack of anything else to do. We passed a hair salon that had been recommended to me to get a haircut. We stopped and they were able to take me right away. It's an ok haircut, nothing to write home about, I've had better. I hate this part about full timing. Oh well, it'll grow again.

We rode around a bit more and decided to head back to the hotel for awhile.

The insurance agent finally called back and it was obvious he was not an RV'er or even a camper! He just didn't have a clue. I went through the whole episode with him step by step and finally made him understand that we LIVE in the 5th wheel, that it is HOME, just not a weekend getaway tent on wheels. He said he would have to make arrangements for an adjuster to go see it before they would approve anything. I was surprised since it was less than $5,000. I stressed to him that we really wanted this inspection to take place on Monday if at all possible. I think that will happen now that he understands this is HOME to us. Keep your fingers crossed.

Bob has been craving a sub for dinner and we found out our only picks were Subway or Quiznos. We don't care for either one of them. We haven't seen any sub/steak shops here in Texas. I'm surprised by that. What we wouldn't do for Capriotti subs right now!

He did get his sub,,,,kinda, sorta. We went to the store and bought several different lunch meats, rolls, sub oil, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and onion and made our own. Capriotti's they ain't.

We spent the evening watching TV and checking the weather. We're supposed to get bad storms tonite with hail. One more thing to worry about with the 5th wheel. tornadoes and hail dents! Will it never end? I think we'll be glad to get out of Texas!

That's it for today.
