8/26/13 Monday at Williamsfield, OH (Pymatuning Adventure Resort-ROD)
Another gorgeous day, although predicted to get pretty hot (high 80’s) with chance of storms tonight. I’ve decided to try major cleaning every 2 weeks instead of every week.
After lunch we decided to get our touchy slides in. The Passenger slide (after John checked that the screw had space to pass) went in fine. The Driver’s slide did not. We struggled for hours, trying to shift the weight of the rig via the jacks, looking for anything that could be stopping it. Around 2:30 a neighbor stopped and offered to help. After a couple more tries, he went to look for a maintenance guy. Pretty soon, he arrived, using a large jack and 2X6 board to raise the problem slide a little. I pushed the button to let it in a little, then a little more and it cleared the first spot. I brought it in a ways, then John had me take it out a bit, then in, then we were good to go all the way. Needless to say, THAT slide is staying in until we get to Decatur for repairs. Sheesh, this is NOT fun.
Although the Passenger slide came in okay, the top is pressing against the mirror wall on the inside, so I hope that settles out when we leave.
For the afternoon, we took our chairs to the shade under a tree (highs in the 80’s today, with humidity), to calm down and read.
At night we watched a taped movie: 50/50. Good show.
