Nov 26 – 02 Dec, Mon – Sun ... For some unknown reason, our refrigerator was not cold when we got up on Monday morning. We went to Walmart and bought some ice chest and ice, used two we had, and placed everything in them, hoping to save our groceries. Mike called Camper Clinic and told them our problem and asked them so send someone out to look at it. On Tuesday afternoon, the tech arrived and within 5 minutes gave us the bad news that the cooling unit had to be replaced. Our thought was, great ... two weeks out of warranty and the two year old refrigerator quits. The guy we’re dealing with at Camper Clinic said he would get his warranty person to call Dometic Corp and see what they would do. In the mean time we bought more ice. Late Wednesday, he called and gave us “good news – bad news. The good news is that Dometic will take care of both parts and labor. The bad news is that they have to order the parts and the work can’t be done until next Tuesday or Wednesday. Later, we decided to drive the 45 miles to Corpus Christi and did a bit of shopping. Since we’re going to be another week without a fridge we decided to purchase a large ice chest. We also are using the refrigerator itself as an “ice chest” by putting ice and food items inside. Obviously, over the next several days, we’ll be cooking as much of the food as possible.
Dixie was suppose to meet some Continental friends in Austin for a ‘girls’ weekend in Roundtop. Since we were still in Rockport she decided to fly to Houston on Friday and drive to Roundtop with the Houston girls. They spent Friday night there and then drove back to Houston where Dixie attended the annual Houston Presidents Club party. She arrived back into Corpus Christi this morning.....ready for a nap. Sounds like it was a couple of short nights! We received our GPS so Mike spent the weekend playing with that. Still buying ice & trying to keep our refrig. items somewhat cold!!!
