Florida, Tampa - Friday, January 17, 2014 - RV Super Show

First off, I need to say Happy Anniversary to my Mom and Dad, I think this is #66.  Lots of love to both of you.

We left Jacksonville with a working fridge about 10:30 this morning.  It takes about 48 hours for the fridge to get to the maximum cooling level.  Right now the freezer is fine, the fridge is getting there.  The good news was we didn’t owe any money for getting this thing fixed.  After all the trials and tribulations Norcold agreed to pay for the part and labor and shipping.  We have an extended warranty that would have paid for most of the repair but we originally thought we would have at least our deductible to pay.

We stopped to pick up some groceries that we hadn’t been able to get for the past couple of months – fish, berries, salad.  Our stomachs will probably revolt against eating healthier again.  However, I can truthfully say that Hormel’s canned beef and gravy is really pretty good.  After the grocery stop we stopped at a small Walmart for cleaning supplies, etc.  While we were in there all of the lights went out.  By the time we were ready to check out the computers were back up.

As we were heading to Tampa we saw lots of mowing being done.  This is certainly a sight we wouldn’t be seeing if we were still in Indiana.

 

 

Right now we are sitting at the Tampa RV Super Show.  We didn’t get here until around 4:30 so we haven’t been in to see any of the exhibits, we intend to make a day of it tomorrow and maybe Sunday.  We can stay in the parking lot for $20 a night, so we’ve opted to do that for a couple of nights.  After that we’ll go in search of a nice campground where we can stay for a week or so and get some cleaning and laundry done.
