Warranty work in Junction City, Oregon

Well, we're done with our warranty work at the Guaranty Service Center in Coburg.... now we're 13 miles away at the Guaranty Paint and Body shop in Junction City. I think that's progress.

We originally thought we'd be done here by Friday, but now it looks like we're not going to be done until at least the end of next week and even then I can't be entirely sure we'll be done. There are several areas on the motorhome where they didn't really do a good job with the paint at the factory and now that Tom has found out we can have all that fixed under warranty, he's been going over the RV with a fine tooth comb finding all sorts of other little anomalies he wants fixed which of course adds to the amount of time it will take.

Thankfully, Guaranty provides free overnight parking right next door to the body shop. They have electricity at each spot and a sewer dump station on site, so it's convenient. Each morning the "coach jockey" comes and gets the motorhome to take it to the shop, then each evening we pick it up and take it back to the overnight parking area. But the challenge is what to do with ourselves (and the dogs) in between. It's been hot here so we can't just go to a movie or golf or something like that where we'd have to leave the dogs in the car for a couple of hours. We've been hanging around the service center's waiting room with the dogs next to us in their crates a lot. We try to keep ourselves occupied with the computer, or reading or playing cards, but mostly it makes for long boring days. I guess I shouldn't complain. It could be worse - we could be working.
