Ends and beginnings

We dodged a few storms but Mother Nature finally caught up with us in Elkhart Indiana.  We are stopping here anyway for some coach service so the weather is just an inconvenience.  Rain and more rain for the next few days.

We're currently at Master Tech RV repair center in Elkhart (http://mastertechrv.com).  We met them at the Perry FMCA rally and were impressed so will give them a try.  We won't take the time to get all the items fixed but at least we'll get the Aqua Hot system repaired before heading to South Haven.

This winters trip has taken us some 3000 miles through eleven states.  Averaged about 8 miles/gal of diesel fuel, have consumed nine '5 Guys' hamburgers, ate about 10 dozen shrimp, visited eleven casinos, dined in more restuarants than I care to recall, stayed in fourteen different RV parks, met a countless number of great people, and visited many neat places.  This has been another great experience.

A bright sun has made an appearance this morning, the temperatures are warming and the final work has just been completed on the coach.  And for those who got up really early this morning, the royal wedding of Kate and William was going on.  Not exactly like our wedding almost 45 years ago, but hopefully they'll enjoy the same outcome as we've had.

We had lost a lot of water pressure to the faucets and the service techs discovered that we had a broken bladder in the water systems accumulator tank.  We had the tank replaced and water pressure is better than ever.  We have very pleased with the service here at Master Tech and would certainly recommend them.  Everyone we dealt with treated us with respect and a high degree of professionalism.  So, before long, we'll get on the road and head to South Haven.

Still livin' the dream and getting ready for a great summer.
