In an extraordinary feat of coordination, I was able to pull off a trifecta today as all the maintenance gods lined up in my favor.

First issue was that the new bus had 4 rock chips in the driver side glass. I call Prevost while the windshield special was on, buy one and have them hold it until I can come by in a couple weeks.

I also have the high tech crapper to finish (knew the issue, needed the fix)' so that was a Marathon issue. So I called the Marathon service manager and say, "Dude, my coach is going to be over at Prevost having the windshield changed, could you send the technician over there and I'll personally help him pull the crapper and he can take it back to your shop or we'll fix it right there on the wash rack. He's good with that.

So I show up last night, get parked, eat the worst dinner ever and off to bed. 7am sharp the doorbell rings. Then for the first time, I get to use the cool doorbell camera / intercom system since Rae is in the shower and I'm still on snooze waiting for the bathroom to clear out. Tech guy says he's ready to go. I tell him I'll unplug the coach and pull it in the door shortly.

I pull in the shop and he has the windshield there in the rolling rack and the man lift ready. I mention to the jr. shop manager guy that I suspect my front roof AC might be acting up since the fan blew okay, but I didn't think the compressor was cycling.

He rolls the man lift to the side of the coach, whips the cover off and there is a burned starter condenser. He yanks it out, we do some Internet detective work and while they can't find the factory spec'ed starter assembly, the find the individual pieces down the street for $30. Pops them in, AC now cooling like a mutha.

Then as scheduled, the Marathon tech shows up. We yank the toilet out and he leaves for their shop (it can't be two miles from Prevost). Rae and I slip off to the Waffle House for breakfast and on the way back to Prevost, Marathon calls. Toilet is done and he is heading back to Prevost.

Get to Prevost, windshield is done, AC is buttoned up, we install the crapper and have a few test flushes and I am out the door by 10:30am. Everyone did either exactly what they said or more and nary a snag.

And to top it off, I get over here to the Grapevine RV park and my cousin the IT guru shows up with my new iPad2 about the the time I shut the engine down.

I think I'll go buy some lottery tickets. I never have days like this. And I was only moderately drugged - even better.
