Day 2 at the Mothership

Thursday was our second day at the "mothership"...

We were up and Gracie was all closed up, aired up, Miss Kitty and we were ready to go before 6am, and Mike, our technician, came to get Gracie soon after 6am.

Entry to the Pet Lounge waiting area at 0-dark-30.

Gracie, inside the 50 bay service area

All inside - climate controlled, super clean

In the waiting area, other owners were talking about a guide that existed on their coaches to guide the catch to the latch on their bay doors...

Carl found one in the parts department, but thought the price was a bit high. He asked if he could trace the shape onto a piece of paper, and the parts guy gave him a piece of paper. He figures that he can create one himself possibly from a cutting board. (we found a video of a guy making one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2GZAltaeiQ)

Another view of Gracie in service bay #22.

In the waiting room, the TV was on with closed captioning turned on -- we almost always watch TV with captioning turned on -- it helps so much in understanding what is being said! Carl's kids give him a hard time about needing to have captions -- so he took a picture of this headline on the screen to prove that ours isn't the only generation that appreciates subtitles!

We went to see "Oppenheimer" a little over a week ago -- #1, we didn't like the movie much -- yes, it is critically acclaimed and no, we don't understand why. #2, we couldn't understand much of the dialog and there were no subtitles -- we have since heard that it may have been possible to get a device at the movie theater that you put in the cup holder and it displays the subtitles - who knew? I'm not sure it would have improved the movie enough for us to have enjoyed it, but at least we could have understood more of the dialog!

Work continues on Gracie...
