What a sight at the site. I can only describe our neighbor's campsite as being what one would think of as trailer trash. Now, we've not seen these people at all today, so I'm not sure if they fit the image they've set with their site. I have a picture of course but in case you can't tell what somethings are, allow me to describe them to you:
12 pack (probably empty) of Bud Light. 1 crushed beer can, possibly crushed at some woman's forehead as someone chanted "chug, chug, chug". A mesh bag of onions lays beneath the RV. I hadn't thought about storing produce under the RV. A mop leans against the RV. A kitchen knife lays on the table. An empty box from a Crest tube. Jim says at least the 2 teeth they have are purdy. A container of salt (hopefully iodized). A big ole can of jalapeno peppers with an eating utensil emerging from the top, as if they ate right out of the can. A braided INdoor country rug that is filthy and laying OUTside. Just a few observations.
After my observations, the insurance adjuster arrived and wrote up the awning damage. It's at about $4000.00 less our $500 deductible. We popped over next door to Camping World and talked to a body shop estimator who came back to the RV to do his own assessment. Unfortunately, all of the other issues we have (vibration, tub leak, jacks, cruise control) they don't do. We went to another RV shop and gave him our list including the insurance work, and they do everything. We're scheduled with them for Wednesday, in Bountiful, Utah. We have a $750.00 hotel allowance from Progressive insurance and $100.00 a day from our extended service contract. Bountiful is North of Salt Lake City, while Draper (where we are) is South.
Next stop was Taco Bell for lunch. I haven't had that in so long. I'm sure I'll pay for it later.
Oh, the neighbor returned. Turns out it's a single Spanish guy, who works for a concrete company. He and 2 fellow amigos are hanging out, drinking beer, cooking dinner on the grill and enjoying some OLD slow Spanish music that doesn't quite fit their age. They speak English. The 3rd guy (white) has a trailer across the way. I think rather than trailer trash, he's more of a young bachelor who's a slob. That also explains the peppers out of the can. The salt was for some bottles of beer they brought with them. It didn't look like Corona but maybe.
Where was I? Oh Taco Bell, uhhh oh yeah, we went to Camping World and bought a couch slip cover (made for RV couches) in a nice neutral tan. Looks much better.
This evening's dinner was Pizza Hut delivery. Another thing we haven't had in a long time. I'm so stuffed, I don't even feel like typing anymore..... see ya!
When life serves you lemons, make Sorbet and ridicule other people's lemonade.
