Are we in a time warp? OR Quiet on the Set! Ready and ACTION!

We are still in Red Bay.  We set aside about 5 weeks to get the warranty work done.  We were told by Norris (the guy that comes around to speak to you when you first arrive) when we got here that they were "4 to 5 weeks out," but that since we were a 2014 and having warranty work done we might get in a little quicker.  "They take a 2014 every 4th or 5th unit.  2015s get immediate service."  It ended up that when I went to speak to Wanda the actual scheduler that 2014s go in "every 3rd unit."  That was nice to hear.  We got our first list this past Tuesday and it said we were # 28 in the queue and we were told that they averaged getting done about 2 units per day.  SO, that seemed like 14 business days before they'd get to us - almost 3 weeks and when you realize they are closed for Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving "Friday." So, that made it a solid 3 weeks.

Thursday's listing (they send it out every Tuesday and Thursday) showed that we were #12??? WHAT, HUH??  That seemed like a big drop in just 2 days.  Then, LO AND BEHOLD, we got a call late Friday afternoon that we are to be at Bay #2 on Monday morning @ 7:00 AM to begin our repairs.

We had noticed that many rigs that were here the week of our arrival had departed.  We guess that they decided to return after Thanksgiving.  Bottom Line - Don't Know, Don't Care.  So, we've gone from thinking we'd be here for 5 weeks to now deciding we'd better make reservations for somewhere else beginning December 1st.

So, we've gone ahead and made reservations to be at Lazy Days RV in Seffner, FL from December 1st - 15th.  IF, we get done before that we will head back down to Theodore, AL and stay at the Bellingrath Road church of Christ were we just finished our last sojourn and stay there until the end of November.

Since we have been having the first real "down time" since forever it seems (at least since March), I've seized the opportunity and gone to the movies 3 times this week.  Irene went along too, bless her heart.  We saw "The Judge" last week (as reported in a previous posting).  This week we saw "The Equalizer" and (just today) "Interstellar."  Intersteller dealt a lot with the "time/space continuum."  I thought it appropriate considering how our 5 weeks till we get repairs has quickly become 9 days.  Now, THERE is a "Time Shift."
