Unexpected travel

I received a call from DirecTv representative this morning and we discussed our problems. He seemed to think that it had something to do with our satellite signal and not the receiver. He said he was cancelling the new receiver order as he wanted me to have MotoSat check out the signal that the receiver was receiving. He said that a weak signal could affect the receiver this way and may have contributed to the first receiver's failure. I told him that when we get to Sacramento, I will give MotoSat a call and see about having the equipment tested.

We decided to check out what the town of Canyonville had to offer. Not too much. I was looking for a post office but we had to travel up to the town of Myrtle Creek to find one. On our way, we noticed that our left turning signal was sounding very strange. While I dropped mail off at the post office, John confirmed that our left turn and brake light was out. We decided to take the drive up to Roseburg as there is a Ford dealer there. While the sun was shining in Canyonville, it was raining as we got closer to Roseburg. Super, we weren't dressed for it. Our decision to go to Roseburg proved a good call. We read the owner's manual but the cover did not come out as written. We where afraid we would break something if we forced it. Thankfully, one of the guys from the body shop showed John how to remove it and the bulb was quickly replaced. He agreed that it wasn't a very good design and was a pain to deal with. Ford has a better idea!

We returned home and had lunch. I worked on updating the blog while John got involved in a book. It rained for a while and then just drizzled. I also made an apple crisp for dinner tonight. We'll spend the evening watching some TV.

Moving day!!!!!

Our move today was greeted with happiness. Nothing against Sutherlin but after 10 days, we were ready to move on. The closer we get to Sacramento, the more we are like homing pigeons and are thinking of our old home town. After a 38 mile trip, we arrived at Seven Feathers RV Resort in Canyonville, OR (must say, we are getting spoiled by these short jaunts).

Our site shot is below. The trees all around us are in fall colors - very beautiful.

Here is a shot of the office where you check in and get escorted to your site.

Here is a shot of the building housing the pool, recreation room, and fitness room (very upscale). We walked through the park and went through all of the buildings. The park is simply one of the most beautiful we have been in the last 10 months.

The park also have shuttles that run from the park to the Seven Feathers casino. You can get door to door pick-up and delivery; all you have to do is call the shuttle phone number when you want the transportation.

We had a beautiful afternoon with bright sunshine (yeah!). We were greeted with an Osprey flying over and the sights and sounds of Red Tail Hawks. We also had nice conversations with Melissa and Bonnie.

We are having problems with our DirecTv receiver again. We just got a new receiver sent to us the first of October and the new one is restarting, not working with the remote, and can't download new updates (we just get into a loop). I spent a couple of hours on the phone with a couple of representatives for two different issues. Sigh! Supposedly, we will have another receiver overnighted to us tomorrow.

I received a surprise phone call from my friend, Alice. What a pleasant surprise and we had a very nice chat. Alice is another one of the reasons Sacramento is having such a draw. I am looking forward to seeing all of our family and friends that we haven't seen since May.

Gloomy day

The gloomy skies mirrored my gloomy mood today. John and I am ready to move on down the road tomorrow.
