Another beautiful day in paradise

Good morning, been trying to spend a little time rebuilding the web site, after reading here go over to “tips” and take a look.  Hope to make things a little more readable but I got up to me what I would say are 2 very important things you should know about and do with your coach.  Slowly, I hope to keep going, just takes time and energy plus that *^%$#@@ learning curve of figuring out which buttons to not push.  James says don;t worry, you can’t mess it up…. obviously he doesn’t know me quite well yet!

At the same time we’re having to rewrite our Fire Fight Products site as well!  Yeah, we’re busy…  Oh BTW, found out why our office was flooded the last big rain storm    A family of racoons has tried to eat our roof!  Most be something in the roof material that tasted like pizza, they chewed through the membrane roof, ate the wood and got down to the meatal sctructure!  The roofer folks came by and evoked the dreaded saying I hate to say but so often it’s true working on these old coaches….. “never saw that before!”  Man, I hate that because it means now we will have to yet again step out of the box … where I usually live…. and figure out what the critters liked about the roof…. get rid of that and fix the hole.  Hey… no pressure it’s just maybe a hurricane comeing in next week.  Hey, I’m not worried….. I’m still watching for sink holes, gators and deer ticks!  Did I start off this morning saying it’s a beautiful day in paradise?  Scratch that…

Little bit of a late start, James has been working with me trying to keep my smoke in.  You all know all electronic things actually run on smoke… let the smoke out and it no longer works… My ears are smoking, what’s the outcome of that?  We’ll see but for right now, go get some more coffee and let me download a few piucs…. be right back…

Hey Matt, Kevin has your new generator door painted and buffed out  I hope he gets a new hinge set up and the door on today.  I’ll let you know.

Got a request and realized I haven’t given Tim any shots of his new Mac dash.    Tim will be shipping this coach to the UK soon.  Pulling up the blanket Danavan is just getting his LP/Petrol cable mounted and working but here ya go man

So for all of you Facebook and YouTube guys who have been following James and his “Wanderlustestate” on YOuTube, here I caught him moving out temporarilly while we work on his undercarriage   Before hitting his seat to drive the coach up onto the lift, James and his GoPro was right there getting a blow-by-blow     If you have followed his channel he’s pretty good with little thing…. “Hal”.. yes from 2001… has never asked if he will dream yet, my guess it’s coming.  So racing after me I got the coach over to the lift  and with that…. UP on the lift it goes   So follow James coach as we bring it back to the road.  On the lift, we will be doing his brakes, body pads, bearings, frame and fuel system.  His exhaust system is bad right up to include the manifolds so he will get a fresh set of headers.  Stay tuned and watch how his coach goes… when you pick a coach up understand you will pretty much go through all this too….

OK, gotta go, it’s after 12 noon so I need to go.  See ya tomorrow…
