Our Fridge Died

Well, our fridge died 3 weeks ago and we're still dealing with repairs.  Luckily it's still under the extended warranty but it's slow to be repaired.  Apparently the first repairman that was sent to our house said the compressor is bad but they can't order the part from LG.  So, the warranty company needs to send an "LG Certified" technician to look at our fridge and it's another week of waiting for an appointment.  In the meantime we've been living out of our coolers all this time buying ice at Costco every few days.  This hasn't been fun!

I got a call this week that a garage spot opened up in Boulder City for our boat.  It's at the place we liked the best.  We found it during our scouting mission to Vegas between Christmas and New Years.  So now we have a spot for the RV and the boat and both of them are empty!  The boat was in the shop this week for the fuel pump and now it needs some work on the starter after our "flooding" incident last fall while the boat was in a slip at Lake Mead.  I guess we didn't escape that incident completely unharmed after all.

Al is trying to determine his last day of work.  He's kind of dragging his feet and nervous about it.  I can't blame him, I'm in the same predicament it's just further into the future.  We had another chat with our financial planner this week to help get us over this hump but the stock market took a 1400+ point dive at the end of last week.

I'm working to get insurance set up for our RV.  We're scheduled to pick up the travel trailer on April 6th where they'll do work on our truck, do the financing, and a trailer orientation.  I wonder how much more difficult it will be to tow the trailer vs. the boat.  Maybe we'll take it to a large parking lot and practice backing it in to spots.  We need to get it backed in to our storage spot in Chino after that weekend.

Things are progressing to our full-time transition.
