Tuesday - 24 Nov/15

A busy day today doing necessary tasks.

Much of the morning was spent on-line or on the phone.

I contact Norcold regarding our new refrigerator. Charlotte opened the door on our second day out and found that one of the door shelves was cracked. My conclusion was that it was a manufacturing defect. The shelf only had 3 soda cans in it. The other shelves were full with much heavier items. The crack radiated from the injection molding location. After an on-line chat I e-mailed a picture of the shelf. I placed an orange piece of paper in the shelf to make the crack more visible. I included our mailing address in Florida. I am now waiting for a reply.

The next task was to phone Rand McNally to arrange for the repair of my GPS. The last update caused the unit to not be able to program a location. Their techs tried for the better part of a day to reset the unit without results. They requested the unit be sent in to their repair facility for a no-charge repair.

Since it would still show the road map and being it could not be returned before our departure for going south I asked to keep it until our arrival in Florida. They agreed. Now that we arrived I was setting things in motion.

They emailed an RMA # and a free shipping tag for UPS.

Going on-line I located the closest full service location, the US PAK-N-SHIP store in Eustis, FL. It only took a few minutes to have it wrapped, boxed and labelled for shipping.

By now it was almost noon - time for Lunch. Since the Golden Corral was just around the corner, we were naturally obliged to go there to eat (grin). Our OMS card got us a 10% discount. Food was good as always. We left like "Thanksgiving Turkeys" - stuffed (grin).

Our next stop was the Batteries + Bulbs store just a mile or so up Hwy 441. Here I bought a second 3.7V Lithium Ion rechargeable battery for a new flashlight. We can now keep one battery charged while the other is in use. This is important because it cannot take regular batteries and would not be able to be used while recharging. Now we can keep using it.

On the way back to the RV Park we stopped at the Winn-Dixie for some basic groceries. A word to the wise. Tell the cashier you are a travelling RVer and they will scan a discount card making you eligible for the current local discounts. We saved about 15% on our order by doing this.

Back at the RV we unpacked and stored our purchases which filled the refrigerator.

The turkeys, still being stuffed, only nibbled for supper.

Again, the usual TV evening. Jeopardy followed by a pair of NCIS shows before bed.
