More Amazon Treats

Amazon provided dinner for everybody last night for their dinner (or lunch) break. They had baked potato and chili with shredded cheese and your choice of pie for dessert. Another nice gesture by them to thank their employees. We also found out the schedule for end dates for all shifts for the holiday season. We will work our last day on Monday, December 20, which is a Monday night. It just means we lose our final overtime day which would have been Tuesday, the 21st. That's ok with us though. We are only working the overtime for the extra money and not because we need a physical "fix". Our bodies are eager for this marathon to end. We will most likely sleep in on Tuesday after our shift Monday night, rest up and pack things on the 21st for a departure on Wednesday the 22nd. We will travel to southern Tennessee or northern Georgia and probably spend Christmas in Georgia near Atlanta or south of Atlanta someplace.

We are in a short window of warm weather now. It will give us a little time to prepare for the next arctic blast which is due in by tomorrow night. We will make sure both of our propane tanks are full and that our fresh water tank is full of water before the next freeze. It's ironic that we came to Campbellsville to work at Amazon rather than Coffeyville, KS, because we were told the weather would be better here. Well, Coffeyville is basking in 60-70 degree weather while we freeze to death. The weather pattern has been upside down this year, and we are constantly reminded that this is not normal for this time of year. Yeah, right. It is 50 degrees right now and will go down from here to an expected low on Sunday night around 10 degrees.

The other thing we are trying to arrange before we leave is for the hydraulic problem to be fixed. There is a problem in finding a mobile RV repair service that will come to this area but I think we found one. He just needs to get here in the next week and do the work. In talking to him on the phone, he feels that our water pump problem may not even be the water pump, but a problem somewhere in the water line where a check valve isn't working properly. Anyway, we are getting closer to getting them fixed. That's about it for now...
