No bad comments, weeds, and Camping World has no clue..

For the first time in quite a while, I didn't spend the day clearing out comments that weren't appropriate for family consumption...  In fact I didn't clear out a single comment all day...

I didn't get any private emails either, so perhaps that is meaning that all that wanted to comment were able to...  I do have a SIL that will comment as anonymous, but she will give me the devil when she determines what has happened...  I'll get her around it then...

I spent the morning out mixing weed and grass killer and spraying the surface of the rock ground cover..  We have an abundance of spring emergence here, and pulling them out, just causes them to come back with twice the vigor...

I have never used this product, but they sell it by the pallet full over at Home Depot, so it must be correct for our local problems...  In a hand sprayer, you mix a quart of the product in a gallon of water..  I wandered all over the yard, but was careful not to spray any part of our bushes... Still I worry that the spray will drift.....

In the afternoon, I rode the motorcycle over to Camping World, after not having any luck getting them to answer their phone..  Or being put on an indefinite hold....

While I was at the counter, the phones were going crazy...  And they didn't know who I was or that my coach was sitting right outside the door...  After looking in the computer, they found the ticket for my work...

They couldn't find where the jack had come into the parts department, or the fellow who would know how to trace the order....  Seems he was gone... although I didn't know if it was for the rest of the day or just while I was there...

The counter man said he laid the ticket on this fellows desk with a note that I had come in........   ...........   ................?  Can we see where this is going.?  Sure glad I didn't pay in advance like they wanted.....

I rode back to our side of town and went to Wendy's for my sandwich...

That was about it for anything productive here...  I see that Kansas is having rain and snow mix for the rest of this week, so I wouldn't be leaving with the coach anyway, but one of these days...............

  1. Is the stuff you're using safe for Biscuit? We are still pulling around our house. Doesn't sound real promising at Camping World. Sure hope they get their act together.

  2. Well, it seems that Camping World is hopping. It's just too bad that they're too disorganised to actually make it work. Some folks don't know how good they have it.

  3. AS for spam on the blog, I did as you did a few weeks ago by blocking all anonymous comments. After reading Rick's blog this morning, I have to agree that the majority end up on my older posts. Seems like we are doing a lot of the same things went after those weeds with Round Up Pro which seems to work well in our area, sprayed Saturday and already seeing the effects. Love that Camping World customer service.

  4. Happy to hear you didn't have to bother with nasty spams yesterday, Rod.

    Government agencies certainly don't have any monopoly on bad business practices. You're story about visiting Camping World demonstrates that. It always makes me laugh when I see folks write "government should run more like a business"! My question is "which busness?" - Apple, Microsoft or the Camping Worlds and J.P. Morgans??

  5. Rod - I have been spraying weeds at our house like crazy, seems to be working so far. Good luck with Camping World, doesn't sound like they have their act together!

  6. Camping World never seems to have their stuff together. Same thing here in Oklahoma City. It's like they don't care. Have been there several times and we figure they don't need our business by they way they treat us. Total indifference. So sad as that's how you loose good customers.
