Ahhh yes!
Being retired, I have more time than money!
Waiting for 15 more days 'til "The Boss"
gets her pardon from the School District!
Heading out right as she passes thru the gate!
Will let her drive, and will take a picture of the school in the rear cam of the coach!
Never look back! :B - JaybirdExplorer

Pilot/Co-Pilot chairs
Seats in the back.
- Canadian_RainbiExplorerBrought it down to the house an parked it level cross ways in the driveway, plugged it in and turned on the fridge. DW made the bed and began the chore of sorting and stowing, getting ready for our Island trips, the first of which will be the first rally of the Vancouver Islanders Chapter of FMCA.
Also picked up the TV from the repair shop--it had stopped responding to the remote. Rather than return it to the rig it is now down in the shop along with the cherry wood surround while I try to plan how to remount it.
My first installation worked OK but was hard to access and secure and worked loose frequently. Now the question is: Can I modify the frame without damaging it? :h I used to be a pretty good woodworker but am losing more strength and fine control every year. We'll see. If worse comes to worse I have a good friend who is a cabinetmaker. If it works, I'll post a photo! - Canadian_RainbiExplorer

Nice day in central calif, 85 deg
Washed , bounder 34j, cleaned windows, gased her up.. Cross country trip in T-3 weeks
Can't wait going to be an adventure
The first class A that we really liked was the Bounder 34J. Loved the layout. At the time we had a 1973 Triple E with a Dodge 440 and a 4 barrel carb! Couldn't swing it at the time. Later bought a '97 Triple E Commander and then our current rig.
By the way, we'll be lucky to hit 50 up here today, cloudy and rainy, just lit a fire in the stove downstairs. :( - Canadian_RainbiExplorerMoved it out of its parking area for a few minutes.
My neighbour came to the door and explained his problem: The boat mover had arrived to pick up his father-in-law's boat for launching and got jack knifed with the boat against a large tree. The truck was on the wrong side of the boat and couldn't get out of the driveway! Once the motorhome was moved he was able to snake past the boat, the wells, a few large trees to our driveway and back to the boat from the other side. It is now happily against the dock.
With any luck, this should result in a kilo or so of freshly caught Spot Prawns and some nice turning wood from the large Arbutus tree (Madrona) he had taken down. (The stacked wood from this tree had caused the problem; it blocked the end of his turning area. - RayChezExplorerToday I exercised the generator for about half an hour. Put a heavy load on it by running both air conditioners. Greatest generator, never had a problem with it, Onan7500 Quiet diesel.
I also removed some water spots around the compartment area caused by the sprinkles on windy days at home. Little by little getting ready for next month when we take off traveling from June and back by November. - psmooreExplorerDe-Winterized it. Added water, ran hot water heater, cleaned out sinks, toilet, etc. Changed the air filter in the generator. Pulled the CB out as I never ever use it. Airing it out. Getting ready to go this weekend for two nights and then in 2 weeks, heading to Disney in FL.

I find it hard to travel this time of the year in some states because of the tornadoes all over Oklahoma, Texas and it runs all the way up to Indiana. Be careful on your travels. I could hardly wait to get out of those states, kept watching the news on TV all the time.
You do realize that you are at a much greater risk of dying in a car wreck in these states than encountering a tornado?
Not sure about that statement. How many tornado's hit Oklahoma yesterday alone? A few years back we got hit by one in Texoma and it was not a laughing matter. We had to evacuate our coach and get into the showers at the RV park. - dgcarverExplorer
