Congrats, glad to hear your back on the road. When I read about your plight, I tried to put myself in that position and wondered which credit cards I would have to "max out" to get back rolling! | ||

Josh it is nice be repaired and out of the DD shop parking lot. I say again the shop didn't have to let us stay in the coach during repair so all said we made the best of it. All over and down the road again. | ||

John you are correct on the card max, something we will work on in the spring. My wife is doing better than average and I am well, had to put our gramma dog down in Cheyenne, all the rest happy and barking HAAA HHHA David they let me roam the large shop and I didn't stay with it all the time but spent most of free time with engine. The main bearings some wre scored and PO said engine was oout of frame rebuilt thirty k miles ago. Gotta go wife wants to go look at a Fairgrounds and we may stay longer, weather is nice here.

Hi Larry and Lynn, Glad to hear that you're back on the road. Are you still in Cheyenne? We're just down the road in Loveland. Jim | ||

Jim We didn't stay but only one day in Cheyenne, left as they said snow was coming. We are in Texarkana rite now and may stay a couple of weeks or more if weather stays good. Lynne's daughter lives just off the freeway fifteen miles east of Cheyenne. Nice location may have to go back in spring. Larry | ||

Hi Larry, They were right. We got a foot of snow last week. It's gone now and we're back near 70 degrees, but I'm sure more will be on the way soon. Maybe we'll see you next time you're up this way. Jim |
