We had a great visit & even got to celebrate Krissy's birthday on Sunday. We had to be back down at the generator shop on Monday morning, so we were dreading getting into the morning traffic, but, after we found out about the alternate freeway we could take going south, getting down past all the traffic was simple. The shop guys said they wanted us back by at least 10:30 because that is when they would be done....well, we got there in plenty of time...but, they actually didn't get done with it until the early afternoon, so we just sat in the Jeep, waiting...

They finally got done & we had a tutorial in how to start the generator. You know, I forgot to tell you that we had a walk through with the levelers, too. They are automatic, all we have to do is turn them on, they lower themselves & level themselves, we don't have to do anything but sit back & make sure they work like they are suppose to.

Once we were done at the generator shop, we drove down to Focal Wood Products, in Nappanee. Carlisle, who owns the business, was going to build some upper kitchen & cockpit cabinets and install them for us. We had arranged to leave the bus with him, while we went back to the kids' house for the duration. We had thought about leaving the refrigerator on while we were gone, even though the rig was not facing the right direction to soak up the rays for the solar panels, but, in the end, we emptied everything out of the fridge, turned it off & left.

He told us he would probably be done with them in three weeks,even though he wouldn't be able to start them until mid month, because of previous work. Not a problem, when he was done, he could call us & we'd come down. So, we left the bus in good hands & drove back up north to spend quality time with the kids.
