2008 Spring/Summer Tour - Day 113

We hung out in the bus this morning and then realized that it was feeling hotter and hotter, even though our air conditioner was on. For some reason, the fan wasn't blowing out with the right strength. We took a look inside and realized that there was condensation building up and freezing so the air couldn't get out, but we couldn't figure out what was causing that. So we made some calls to try to get it looked at. I wasn't surprised that the AC might be on the fritz after the workout we've put it through this year, but it was 95 today here and is expected to be 100 tomorrow and in the 90's all next week, so it was pretty important we get it working right again. We had trouble finding any service place that was open, as it is Pioneer Day in Utah, which is an official state holiday in comparison with the 4th of July. But we got in touch with a guy who does mobile RV repair and he came out and fixed it right up. Turns out there was a hole in the duct and the intake air was mixing with the other air. He also took care of the inside generator switch wiring, which had been damaged when we had a blowout last year. Since that was behind the stove, and he had to remove that to get to the wiring, we had him go ahead and take the stove out, which we'd been planning to do when we got home to make some more storage space (in four years we had never used the oven for anything but storing dishes). I was very happy and surprised with the price, too... expecting it to be much worse from someone coming out to do a house call on a holiday when no one else is open.

We went for a nice swim together in the afternoon, then went out for some dinner at Arby's, which is usually my first choice as fast food places go. Then I took the girls to the playground while the RV repair guy worked with Roseann on fixing the bus. Once he was done, I set up at the pavilion again and did a mix of kids' songs and some of my old coffeeshop fare for the sporadic crowd that came by. I had fun with that and enjoy the chance to revisit some of those old tunes once in while. Becca was excited to get the job of taking some pictures of me singing, one of which is below.

We put the girls to bed and did some web surfing, then went to bed with nice cool AC blasting away.

Examining the inside of the air conditioner... Exciting, eh?


Tiggy wondering what happened to our oven...
