Count us in for the Blue Angels, either day. Got a new camera and lens to try out.

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.

Youch!  That hurts me just reading about it!  

We also arrive the 4th and will be in site #352.  Anxious to meet everyone!

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.

Gurus,

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.

Gurus,

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.

Thanks Rudy!

Bill

Well, so far it's been great seeing everyone again..

of course, there are always "buts" and I've got one.... I've got a slow water flow problem. any suggestions other than not showering

On city water ? On the 120 v pump? Or both?
