Lots of stuff

31 August 2007

First, a tip of the customer service hat to Sonny’s RV, which got me into the shop and fixed my  jacks and my leak.

Second, a doff of the hat to Bellew’s Hitch in Tacoma for a fine job on hitch and mirrors.

In other news, we moved again… from Escapees Evergreen Coho Park over to the Elks Lodge No. 317, here in Port Townsend (or “PT” as they call it.) Nice spot.

Elks 317 gets a doff of the hat (with bow) for helping us out while the RV was in the shop. After we had spent several hours looking around PT, we were both very tired. Marty, the bartender at the Elks Lodge welcomed us, and allowed Roseann the crash on a couch in the dining room. Later, when she awoke, Marty made her welcome, with numerous glasses of Diet Pepsi, and bowls of popcorn. She watch a Mariners game and some tennis (Serena Williams) while I went and dealt with the trailer.

The various benefits of belonging to a Fraternal organization take time to appreciate. Yes, it’s nice to find RV parking at the Elks Lodge, but the real lesson of being a member is when you show up at the Lodge and find a welcome, whether it’s for dinner, for refreshments at the Bar, or just for a place to sit. I love being a Mason, and I love being an Elk.
