Some problems solved.....

We were able to finally solve the problem of the inverter shutting down...unplugged one of the electric heaters! I guess we've never had to have heat for this long of a time, so didn't realize that the circuit would eventually shut down.

Also, got a call from Thetford and Sally says she is shipping a new toliet to me at the CG....she was a little upset that I went over her head to the Thetford president. But, from my previous experience, I knew she didn't have the authority to do that on her own.

You meet some interesting people at the laundromat...first of all, talked to a fellow from Minnesota who delivers MH's to dealers all over the U.S. He's retired, and does that as a side job. Related that out of 150 MH's he's delivered, 14 of them broke down, most within 20 miles of the factory.

We also talked to a young fellow who lives here on the island, and works as an embalmer at a Brunswick funeral home. We just had to ask about a rumor that we'd heard that people who are cremated are cut into three pieces in order to fit into the oven. He refuted this story, said that that would be desecration of a corpse, and very much against the standards of the United Embalmers Society of the U.S.

He invited us to visit with him at the funeral home, offered to show us the oven. We very respectfully declined, told him we really appreciated the offer...maybe some other time?

Raining again this morning, will it ever end?
