A busy day

Or a busy week would be more like it.    Last Thursday we took the RV to  the shop and got 6 new Michelin tires put it.  How do you spell Michelin?
anyway, we have 6 new tires of that brand.   Today, Tues. we went to Lakeland,Fl. to talk to someone at Creative Coach about our windshields.
Creative Coach is a business that puts in new windshields, after aligning the front end of the coach., paints, does interiors, and what ever else that needs repaired.  I guess.  We decided to have them check out our problem.  Interesting.  The man, Lester, needed to see the coach.  We drove back to Thonotosassa, prepared the RV for a trip and took off for Lakeland.
Lester was not happy with the way our windshield had been put in last summer.
They will take out the windshields, align the front end, replace the cracked passenger side, and also the driver side if it has any problems.  We will get an estimate in a day or so.   Two chunks of money for our beloved 1998 motor home.   We think it is well worth it, safety wise, for sure.

Tomorrow starts the Tampa Super RV show.  We will go and look.  We are not planning on a new coach.  And how many people have said that and the next thing you know they are driving a new RV?  Keep you posted on that one.  The problem with these shows are all the "goodies" that are for sale just for the RVing family.  And we usually find something to buy.  or put our name in to win.  Ha, ha.

Ernie is starting to feel better, so he told his sister.  And she thinks that is a good sign, when he says it.  And part of it is getting the new tires and windshields fixed.  Just in time for a busy time here in Fl.  The music series starts at Busch Gardens this week., RV show, Flea markets, and in 3 weeks the South Eastern Area FMCA rally at Brooksville, Fl.  We have our credentials for that rally.  Coming up,also, in February is a Hoosier Cruiser Luncheon and a National Great Lakers date at Parksdale.  We get our strawberry sundaes and then go to a local park for visiting time.

This past Friday I was fixing supper and who walked in, but our friends from Alabama.  So good to see them.  And then we saw them the next day at the local flea market.   Part of the enjoyment of RVing.  

In spite of the aches and pains and Dr, visits, retirement for us has been great.  A life style change with the motor home.  One that we have embraced and enjoyed.  Talking with the secretary today at the Creative Coach business, she stated that she had met only one couple that the wife just hated the RV.  Would be glad when her husband got it out of his system and she could go back to a brick and mortar home on land. 

And with that I will close for today.  If you are in the snow==our thermometer said 88 today.  Supposed to get into the 60's next week and maybe low enough to frost.  Have to bring in my plants.

Have a good day.  jkc
