I heard in on the roof and then when I looked outside I saw it…Rain. Yes it rains in Alabama.
Sherri and I are tucked away in site 50 here waiting to get our work done on the MH. We really don’t have major things wrong with it but they are some things that need to be seen after before they become major. I had called ahead and talked with the man in charge here and he assured me I did not need a reservation for work this time of year because they are not that busy….Wrong! The line getting in here was backed out into the street and more coming down the road. I guess everyone heard that this was the time of year to come?
Oh well as I said before I have taken the Mark Hall’s Service Center Techniques…or “How to bully your way into a service bay”.
Sure nuff no one showed up at our MH and it was going on noon. We have no water pump and they have turned the water off here for the winter months. So here I go on the first visit to the Service Office. I found Jimmy Oliver at his deck typing on his computer. “Jimmy”, I said… “I have a problem, we have NO water pump and my Wife needs to bathe”. “If your wife could not bathe would she be happy”?
Soon I was pulling into bay 32 which is an express bay to get my water pump fixed and what ever they could get in 3 hours with 2 men. I was amazed at all the work they got done. We only have a few items to complete and we will be all done with the list.
We backed out of bay 32 and made our way to the watering hole to give the MH a drink. I was surprised that we did not use that much water in two days. It was still a good idea to take on water while we were buckled up. Back to our site and got everything back out where it goes. Now this is one thing Sherri does not like is having to take down and set up each day.
If you can’t see what I am talking about look past Kris….
We made a run to town to see what there was to see. We found a Mexican Restaurant just down the street. We stopped on our way back and ate. Not bad Mexican food at that. The view while I was eating was not the best in the world but I did my best not to look. Other than that we would go back.
Red Bay is not long on things to see and do. We did scour the grocery stores for food. Being that we both work in grocery stores I have to say that they have the cleanest stores here.
Well that is a wrap for the day. We are just waiting for the next free Express Bay to open. I will be back up at the office…

I thought that was your crack back there!
We all usually let what Mark says go right over our head, but glad you listen to him this time...lol
Enjoy your time at Camp Red Bay.
Ya could go to Coon Dawg Cemetery, out in the country West and North of Swamp John's Catfish to the East of Town about 5 miles. Oh, and Swamp John's is an experience in its self if you like catfish in an old gas station.......... It was good enough, and they do catering too. Still kind of a country place for folks that like town experiences.........
Just loved your "Powers of Persuasion" on getting into the work bay!!!! Toooo funny!
