It’s always something

We have moved back to the Vista Elks Lodge where we will spend the rest of the month. We got up early this morning to bring our home into the shop at 8:00 for a new muffler. They told me it would take about an hour and a half to do the job so Susan and I took off for breakfast. After breakfast and a little shopping we finally headed back to the shop at 11:00 to check on the progress. It was done except for the paperwork. Another ½ hour and we were on the road. After arriving in Vista we got a strong odor of plastic burning. So much so that I immediately jumped out and opened the hood for investigation. Nothing there so I went inside to remove the “doghouse” (engine cover). Nothing there. I decided to back it into our spot, set it up, and search for the odor later. After parking I went to the back to hook it up and noticed the odor was stronger so I took a peek under the coach. Awe Ha! I spotted the plastic label still stuck to the side of the muffler, all burnt up of course. Now why didn’t they remove it so the customer doesn’t get alarmed when they smell it burning? It’s always something.

    You didn't have to tell us you were back in Vista. We knew.
    I't's raining, isn't it?
