Stuck at Lazy Days and Wawa

Today is Wednesday, October 6 and day two at Lazy Days RV Center near Tampa. We had some minor issues with the trailer we wanted to rectify: my beverage center (the secondary fridge) wasn't keeping my beverages cold enough. I took some readings and my beer was between 42 and 48 degrees. Whats the point of having an auxiliary refrigerator if you can't keep your Keystone Light ice cold!; during our trip to Asheville, NC a drawer in the bathroom came loose and broke right off the tracks; the built in DVD player keeps freezing the picture; a power line to one slide was hanging a little low; and we bought an under the sink water filter and want them to install it. We scheduled the appointment for yesterday but since it is all manufacturer's warranty issues (except the filter) they have to get approval to do the work. The place is very big and they actually have a campground, motel, and restaurant on site which is where I am sitting typing this.


There are full hook ups in the bay so we stayed in the trailer last night. It is quite an impressive operation. There has to be a hundred motor homes on display along with scores of travel trailers and fifth wheels. I can see why people come to Florida to by an RV because the selection is massive. We have met some nice people and several from the Pittsburgh area. I happened to wear a Steelers t-shirt and that seems to spark up conversation. We had our own little Pennsylvania section in the lounge. We spent time with a couple from Beaver County there. They had their cat with them on a leash so we had plenty to talk about. Hopefully we can get out of here some time today. I would like to see the Penguin's game tonight which is on NBCSN. If we are stuck here tonight I will have to go out to watch it.
  Also there has been a request to mention the daily temperature so Barry can feel warm when he reads the blog. Today it is 85 degrees and sunny. We walked around looking at RV's to kill time and I broke a sweat. It is much warmer when there is no cloud cover like yesterday. We found a Wawa near The University of South Florida (go Bulls) and actually just hung out in the parking lot in a shady spot. It is now after 3 PM and I will have to go check on the progress.
