Ha ha. About 1030, I had a reply from Lippert, the axle manufacture requesting further information. They needed the VIN and axle number to search for MY dealer looking for it on my behalf. (There wasn't anyone looking!) I phoned Jerry's RV six times before noon, but no answer at the office. I reached Jerry, on his cell. He was quite helpful, and told me that Brad was on top of it. Much later in the day, I called Jerry's again. This time, Brad was in and I spoke with him. He told me he had spoken with Lippert and they had several axles in stock, but he needed more information to determine which axle we needed for our Grand Junction. (Brad was waiting for Jerry to crawl under the RV to get the information.)
"I have a photo of the label and sent it to you Tuesday. Long story short, I resupplied the photo to Brad who called Leffert. Our new axle must be custom-made and will take approximately seven days, then be shipped by freight truck. I don't think we're getting our RV home until the early part of October. Oh well, it'll be a lovely trip to see the leaves changing! Of course, the axle we need is nearly triple the price of the "in stock" axles. Well, big toys cost big bucks ... and if you want to play, ya gotta pay.
This afternoon, I worked on more items for Sawgrass Nature Center. We both enjoy their silent auction and dinner party, but we shall see. About 5 o'clock, we went to Advantage Dodge to pick up our truck. All maintenance was completed plus we, apparently,had a broken apparatus on the power steering. We didn't know anything about it! LOL Anyway, all was fixed for just under $1000.
Mark thought we'd go out for dinner tonight, but stayed home and ate my favorite, Kraft Dinner (original with powdered cheese) and hot dogs. Ha ha ha.
Tonight is my favorite TV show, Ancient Aliens. I reminded Sue to watch it, but she's scared, although fascinated. LOL. (She was busy adding new items onto EBay for Shih Tzu Rescue's page.
So that's been our day. During this, Mark began pressure washing the driveway, dirty, after so much rain this summer.
G'night.
