27 August
Our part for the turbo is a wayward part. It was supposed to be delivered early this morning, but things didn't go according to plans. The delivery service truck broke down. Don't know why they don't use their own trucks, but the truck broke down. We were originally told that the dealership didn't have the phone number for the driver. So when the dealership called the delivery service after 1 pm, we were told that the part would not be delivered today. Roger and I even volunteered to go where the truck had broken down, but the dealership was not told where the parts truck was being serviced. Rather mysterious to us. We were also told that the head honcho in charge of the service department could not allow us to go get the part ourselves. So instead we spent the day waiting, being told different things (not by the dealership, but by the delivery service), and did a little bike riding.
Bangor is not a bike friendly town, so we were told the safest place to ride our bikes was the cemetery, which was nearby. So we rode around the cemetery, which was established in 1836, so there were some rather interesting grave markers. There's also a section dedicated to the Civil War veterans of the 2nd ME Infantry, which were the crucial Infantry group that held their ground at Gettysburg. Roger could give you more details on this, just ask.
The folks are complaining here that it is hot! 86 degrees, but we do have our air conditioner running since we have a dark gray RV. It's a very random partly cloudy day. If we had known that it was going to be an entire day waiting for a part, we would have gone back to Acadia. There's another couple who is also having RV issues, but we're lucky because our campground is only about 20 minutes away and they've committed to a campsite well over an hour away at Acadia, because they wanted to have a site for Labor Day Weekend.
Keep your fingers crossed for us to have better luck tomorrow.
