3-15-10 Monday (Admissions And Inductions)

I already got a call from Cameron at Camping World this morning.  He reports that the leak detector is bad and propane won’t go anywhere.  I explained we lived in it for over a year.  While the fridge did not work on propane mode, everything else did.  I told him to leave it alone and I’d be there to get the propane working.  I was so mad.

A few minutes later I called him back.  I re-explained it all in a calm tone.  I asked him to check himself or have a service manager get involved.  I told him I’m a half hour away and would prefer not to drive there.  I suggested air in the lines perhaps.  What’s the chances that the valve on the leak detector failed within the time we had it winterized (1-3-10) and put in storage (approx 2 months)?  Possible yes.  Likely no.  I only suggested air in the lines in hopes that they made an incorrect diagnosis and can use that as a scapegoat.  Sometimes techs/shops won’t want to admit an error was made and instead will hold strong to their diagnosis.  I don’t want to be on the receiving end of that crap.

I reread the paragraph above and it goes like this: I re-explained, I asked, I told, I suggested.  I was amused.  Naturally, I felt the need to reword it but decided to leave as is.

A year ago we were flying high in a 4 person airplane with Glenne.  The sights!  The coast line!  After the flight – The guacamole!  The sunset!  The seals!  An awesome day!

I read the first few chapters of the Atkins book.  I’m impressed with the theories.  There’s plenty of greens included in this diet.  So to the naysayers, I say nay to you.  Huh?  Anyway, even during the first phase of Induction, which is to virtually eliminate carbs, my intake limit is 20g.  Of the 20g, they want 15g of it to come from veggies.  By the way, even though I bought the book, the entire diet is online for free at atkins.com.  I’m starting the diet Monday.  Wish me luck!

Cameron of Camping World called hours later and said that they got the propane system working.  It was at 1/4 and they topped it off to 1/2.  Yeah, whatever.  He says they can’t duplicate the problem even after 20 minutes but they will leave it in propane mode over night and check tomorrow morning.  Now we’re getting somewhere.

Tonight’s dinner was very tasty.  Here it is:

 

I used more like 2.5 pounds of pork.  I also quartered the potatoes even though there was no mention.  I also didn’t cut the carrots – what’s the point?  This was high in flavor.

Soon potatoes will just be a memory…
