Leaving Rockport ----TEMPORARILY!

Dec 10 – 16, Mon – Sun ... Tuesday evening, we went to dinner with our RV friends Bob and Jeanne that we met while at Bay View RV park. It was “Tuesday night special” night at The Big Fisherman restaurant where beer was a buck and the chicken fried steak dinner was $1.75. The total bill for the four of us was $10.51. Naturally, at these prices, Mike quickly asked for the check. What a guy!! We also figured out that our air conditioner, that quite working a few days before, really worked fine that the problem was in the rv park's breaker (that was a relief, one less problem to deal with) On Thursday, we paid a visit to Camper Clinic, the people who we are working with on the repair of our still broken after 21/2 weeks refrigerator. The manager we’re working with called Dometic Corp again in an effort to find out when our replacement part will arrive in Rockport, Tx. He was told it could possible arrive by next Thursday the 20th. With that lovely thought we decided to call Dometic Customer Service ourselves. The person Dixie spoke with told her that more than likely, the part would not arrive until after the first of the year, as in 2008!! (They’re made in Sweden) With that we decided to leave the mh with them (no charge for storage) and fly to Montana to visit Dixie’s family. On Saturday we dumped what was left in our cooler and headed to San Antonio where we overnighted. We left our car at the hotel and managed to get on a Northwest flight to Minneapolis and then on to Great Falls. We arrived at 1pm on Sunday without any glitches!!! We had a wonderful dinner that evening at Bill & Gloria’s. Tomorrow we will head to the farm for a few days!
