Saturday’s usually a sleep-in day for me. Instead of getting up at 11am, I get up at noon. But I didn’t go to bed until almost 4am, so cut me some slack.

Of course, 15 minutes after I got up, and before I even had my coffee!, my buddy Nick Russell called and needed help. He broke his blog.

By the time I first had my coffee, and repaired Nick’s blog, it was almost 2pm. So after snapping a photo of our electric meter, I headed down to the park office to settle up on our  electric bill for the almost-month we’ve been here.

Turned out to be $195.12 for the month, which along with the $375 rent, totals $570.12 for our 28 day stay here.  That’s $20 a day.

Not too bad, I guess.

Later, around 7pm, after it had cooled off a bit, I went outside to stow things away for our travel tomorrow, and also to take another look at my AC blower problem that seemed to center of the resistor pak.

The pak gets hot in operation, so it actually sticks up into blower airflow to help keep it cool.

And after I got it out and unplugged it was quickly obvious what the problem was

There was a burnt pin on both the pak and the connector.

A little Googling said this was a fairly common problem. The long-term solution might be to replace both the plug and the pak, but I wanted to get it fixed now.

So a paperclip to the rescue.

I let it run about 15 minutes, and although it got hot to the touch, it wasn’t hot enough to burn, so I deemed the repair a success.

For now.

Of course, I only have one speed now, high. But we pretty much only run it on high, anyway.

Finishing up, I stowed away the water and sewer hoses, as well as the chairs. So all we have to do tomorrow is unplug shore power, raise the levelers, and hit the road.

Tomorrow night we’ll be at Poche’s Fish N Camp near Breaux Bridge, LA.,  finally scratching the itch.

Thought for the Day:

Dear Karma,  (again, not our cat)

I have a list of people you missed.
