Daily Excerpt: Diary of an RVer during Quarantine (MacDonald): Day 7




Excerpt from Diary of an RVer during Quarantine:

Day 7 (Tuesday)

Today, I decide to figure out why the front burner of our propane stove is not lighting with the clicker switch (Finally, a real purpose for getting out of bed!).  Have you ever taken the top cover off your stove?  Me neither!  Not once in the six years we’ve owned this rig!  Underneath were scattered pieces of dried spaghetti, macaroni, and rice that would have provided dinner for four.  The instructions on how to light and shut down the stove are posted under the cover, but I had to remove grease with dish detergent before I could read them.  A pleasant surprise!  They are in three languages, which provided an opportunity to see if my weekly Spanish classes in Arizona paid off … they didn’t!  However, I was able to understand ONE word (highlighted) in the first sentence: “Abra el suministro principal de gas a la estufa.”  

Well, look there … the ignition tube to the front burner had rusted and was hanging down away from the burner.  Propping it up with a metal cookie cutter did the trick.  The clicker now works perfectly.  Ingenuity at its finest!  After cleaning up the mess on the stovetop, I replaced the cover and whipped up a Quarantini!
