We will be there on the 4th, but I want to give you a heads up. One to ward off all the questions, and two to let you know that I won't be able to do much physical work. So if you were planning on an engine rebuild that's out.
After piddling around the house all winter with only minor scratches, I managed to self inflict a minor but gruesome injury yesterday while loading the coach. I managed to catch my right thumbnail in the spinning disc rotor of my mountain bike. I was lucky in that it only removed the entire nail in one nanosecond. Yep, jerked it out by the roots. Yes, it smarted. But now you know why I have a bandaged thumb, so spare me reliving my dumb mistake again.
However, it has not affected my coffee drinking and world saving philosophizing.

We should arrive late on the 8th. Site #321 I am bringing material for a generator seminar (lots of show and tell items) and a load bank if you want to see if your set is up to snuff.
I'm in for the Blue Angels.
If anyone want the 365 tire upgrade, I have them mounted on new Alcoas and will bring them.
Otherwise, they will stay on the shop walls as a testament to my lack of smarts.

Wife and I arrived with our two late last night. We are in lot 829/#159.
Sorry I missed the Aqua Hot maintanence this morning. Just picked up our coach last month so if anyone is doing any work while they are here I am available as a gopher since I have a lot to learn.
This is a little off the coaching path, but might be interesting to some folks. Tonight at 5pm, I will be roasting a batch of coffee. This is the process that turns green coffee beans into those little brown nuggets of caffeinated goodness. If you are a coffee person and wanna learn or just wanna excuse to come visit, please drop by my site (220). Bring your own drinks....but I might have a bottle of wine opened.

This morning Rudy supervised me while I performed annual maintenance on my Aquahot unit. Several gurus stopped by and Rudy supervised and answered questions.
I came away with a much better understanding of my water heater and really enjoyed getting my hands dirty.
