Going Home…..

No, we’re not on our way home yet silly. Our RV was manufactured in Smith Center, Kansas and we went back to the manufacturer to get some warranty work done. While leaving Nebraska this morning we thought we’d try calling a GMC dealer in the Smith Center area to see if they would look at the running lights on the front of the cab, where the water seems to leak in during hard rain storms. I called Melton GMC in Belleville, Kansas..and spoke to Josh the service manager. He said “No problem…bring it in when we come through the area”. We arrived at 2:00 p.m. and we were out of there 30 minutes later…no appt…just a couple hours of forewarning. And what a nice guy Josh was ! That is customer service !
We’re back in corn country. Was a very hot day…in the 90’s and every cow pasture we passed that had a watering hole had bovine in it, basking in the coolness of the water. Up to their bellies, standing there, flinging water up over their backs with their tails.
We arrived at Smith Center about 4:00 p.m. and Darron got us all set up, outside a service bay. He hooked us up to electricity (first since last Tuesday) so we could run the AC and microwave….put the four slideouts out…and showed us the customer lounge where we could watch TV, do laundry, shower, make coffee, etc. What a wonderful lounge for folks who are temporarily displaced from their “homes” while getting service done. They also had a computer and a wireless network but with our recent luck of not being able to get onto a wireless network, of course it didn’t work for us. Tomorrow we can rely on the competent employees of the service center to get us into the computer (we’re hoping.) We are very backed up with about five days worth of stories to tell you and lots of pictures to share that we want to get them uploaded. With any luck this entry might actually get posted the morning after I write it…wow ! Kind of ironic since all day we’ve passed markers for the Pony Express as it used to go through this territory. With all the technology of today I could probably have gotten it to you quicker by Pony Express than I can trying to find a wireless connection. Sheesh…technology
