We are making progress!

Well, for two people who should have lots of time on our hands, our days are pretty darn busy even though we haven't gone anywhere in Max yet.  Aside from Jeffrey's remarkable knee recovery (he is almost back to full strength), we have slowly been ticking through our list of things to investigate, things to fix, things to buy, etc., as we work toward our goal of getting officially "on the road" in December.

One big item was my transfer of Gator Presidency to new blood as well as closing out the reporting to UF for the past year.  We still love being involved in our Gator Club and will continue to be a part of it however they let us :-)

Our other big accomplishment was getting a pile of little "Max" warranty items fixed, which is somewhat interesting when you live aboard full-time.  The service folks can't always come to you, so you have to drive the coach to the service center (thankfully ours is only 4 miles away), leave it for the day with a list of items to look at/fix.  Pick it up at the end of day where they fixed what they could and ordered parts for the rest.  They'll call you when all of the parts come in and then wash, rinse, repeat!  The scariest one was a recall letter we got on our fridge.  Instructions were to IMMEDIATELY turn it off and get fix applied.  Lucky for us, we already had our appointment to get some other work done and they were able to get the fridge part in time, so we only had to live out of a cooler for a few days.  Also lucky for us that we have friends close by with some extra fridge space we could borrow!

Well, better stop posting on my blog and get back to my to-do list!
