The Co-op: Have you ever been driving along in your coach….just lovin life and that exquisit fragrance of the back end of yesterdays chilli cookoff reaches the drivers seat?

……….Its amazing some of the things you discover on those in the field tests from seat time!  ……….Survey says……….

It looks like I must have created a negative pressure in the coach with 2 Max fans ripping and the toll booth window open to suck that bastard gas pase the P trap drains……..hey, having 3 gears and keeping the motor from Chernobyl hot is important but THIS I had to fix!

So pulling the soul train into a reas T areaI bigger out from the GMCMI convention in Talahassee yesterday @ 3pm…..JayGee pulling Ralph was a trooper.  60mph, no speedometer but the red line mark on the Rach set at 2600……..that’s 60 and we came on in.  Hey, adapt and overcome…….

Guy really bear with us, I knew it would happen….we had exciting project so close to done it hurt but after passing on 6 GMCMI conventions…..with this one IN Florida…..not seeing so many people who have been instrumental to me over the past decades being a parts of the GMC community…..how could I not go.  Sorry but there are times in life that go up on the wall and this was one of them.taking the backroad there we had a convoy……the Coke coachOf course Nelson leering our way the back roads piloting “Davy Jones Locker”pulling “Gumby”, of course JayGee and RalphMutsades sniffing Ruby
The nighmare’s alive in the “Tin Soldier” and we brought up JR’s coach for deliery, living in Pensacola he met us there and took his gunship the rest of the way to the barnand throwing in Fandango going home after the rally to ArizonaI mean 7 badass coaches pulling through little town like Cheifland through Dixie County……….yeah, we got attention at any traffic light we stopped at!

The get together was awesome and getting to meet some new like minded wingnut with their GMC’s was a hoot.  1/3 of the folks at the rally were first time attendees!  THATS fantastic!  See, EVERYONE loves these things!To me, the rally was worth the time seeing that the club’s are again having positive enrolment.  We had talks about that, fire suppression for our mobile campfires and a talk about the body sag issues we have uncovered which morphed into all the challenges to keep water out!  There were a bunch of piepan eyes looking at me while pointing out a few issues.  We didn’t even get to “chipmonk cheeks”, ill see if I can do a video on that soon.

As you were probably frustrated that I didn’t post anything while I was there…….sorry but man we were rally swamped.  Took a while to replay what that that _______ (add your expletive”Bit the story I wanted folks to walk away with is now, The Co-op has hit a level of teamwork, talent and expertise that we’re here and ready to do it!AAwesome weather I got sunburned like I had gone to the gulf deep sea fishing from being out there but it was a hoot and thanks to all who supported us thereSo after a week of awesome weather I’m back in Orlando at the shop…….in the rain!  No outdoor activities today the guys are setting up new pallet racks we have so we can stack stuff higherturningclemons to lemonaid….this is a leak test for Ruby….yeah, that’s it!

Ok, gotta get back in the beat….thanks for waiting for us, sorry we had to go and its onward to Infinity and beyond ……..!!!!!!!!
