The Co-op: Already 169 waiting for me to plunk something?

……So good morning to u fellow early risers………and for the rest of you this is old news.  I’ve always been this way……have pity!

41 degrees this morning, have a fire safety talk for I think its the Monnaco club this morning…..kinda half thinking of meeting around a barrel on fire to stay warm.  Maybe someone will let me catch their motorhome on fire for a demonstration…..ill bring marshmallows!  Fire safety is no joke though, owning Fire Fight Products for like 8 years has taught me just how important fire measures are for our GMC mobile campfire looking for a match!

Most of you know about www.Firefightproducts.com and how I feel about automatic fire suppression.  I don’t push these countermeasures to you Co-op customers….I never wanted to b an insurance salesman ……but every one of these dried out….rotted….particle board glue covered….pcb laden aluminum M80’s need a fireman standing by.  After all this nonsense go spend a little time looking around there to not just see units but learn about angle for fire safety.  That’s what I’ll b doing today.  I hope to be back at the shop but til then it will be fire safety for me.

I was surprised and thrilled yesterday morning ollking out my back doorI was talking with Kurt, a guy that came in to spend the day learning about just what one of these is all about…..wait….where did that coach come from.  I know that coach…..it was long ago……….where did it come from is Fritz here?  I put THIS coach together in 2002!  That’s the pilots “flying 4” flight pattern…….WE did that!  So Fritz had moved on and its new steward is excited to keep “The Fly Boy” up in the sky!And what’s better is Fly Boy will be living nearby here in Central Florida!  Man, these ole war horses are coming back to the fold………. Pretty cool!  Thanks for dropping by.

You never know the condition of something til you pull it out, we’re refitting Marco’s sewer dump maseraror system.  bit the system had a big ole pipe in the way of our new Honda generator muffler and exhaust system…..what can I say, solving one issue sometimes causes others….. So going to our maseraror system a dump hose “slinky” isn’t as necessary so we removed it to see our optionsHe.g., ends u could see looked fine!  Marco, we have some ideas to stow your “if ya havta” pipe………

Yep, that small fresh water leak was that 45 year old tank.  We’re moving the flag to a new, exact fit Roto molded polypropoline water tank for Marco.  You REALLY didn’t wanna drink outa that old reservoir anyway!

After getting its guts ripped out, this 60,s Airstream is going into the big house for its new interior next to the 70’s model already under constructionHey, the beat goes on…………

Ok, I’m watching a stupid 13 mile traffic pile right where I need to drive to get go for my talk in Cleremont….pray for me, see ya later and thanks for dropping by
