Southern California Wimps

So I am watching the local news tonight and they are reporting on the aftermath of the storm that passed through this area the last couple of days.  It dropped a significant amount of rain in Southern California but in the local mountains and over the grapevine (Interstate 5 north of Los Angeles) it dropped a fair amount of snow.  On the news they are showing homeowners shoveling what amounts to a few inches of snow and complaining how it is so horrible.  My gosh, the temperature is going to be in the teens.  LIfe is horrible, we must flee!  Wimps, I say.  What I saw was a “dusting of snow”.  I realize this is an unusual event for people in Southern California, but please, put it in perspective and GET OVER IT!

OK, moving on.  We took the trailer to the nearest Jayco dealer, which was in Riverside.  They were very helpful and immediately worked on our rig.  They found no leak (no surprise) so they replaced the propane detector and fixed a closet latch that had broken.  Very pleased with the response. We parked the rig in a Wal-Mart parking lot while we went to lunch with Fran’s brother and I noticed that the there were a couple of tears on the roof.  Very small, but bothersome.  The RV park we are staying at has numerous trees overhanging the roadway and I guess a limb must of scraped the roof.  So after lunch we went back to the dealer and got some repair patches.  IT IS ALWAYS SOMETHING!

Put the patches on the roof and figure when we leave I will have Fran walk besides the trailer as I drive down roadways to exit the park to make sure I can clear the trees.  As Fran said, it is the same as when you get a new car and you get that first ding in the door.  It pisses you off.
