The Co-op: It didnt happen……..

Increasingly being pulled away from calls and interest in some of the coaches were promoting …..one thing leads to and takes away from things I didn’t get to do one of the special fun things I that I do here…..I didn’t get to the road test on John D. babyome of my fun duties….maybe today.  Can’t wait to see how our roller 403 is doing……

<<<<<<<Emergency>>>>>>>>

…..the lift is downpouting back into the reservoir the oil spewing out of the hydrologic ram……not the best idea but we had to keep pushing……we had to pull it for rebuilding.  Phillip brought a pizza with him dropping off the ram.  Come on guys…..help us out with this!  Pizza has a way of living the cogs!

This coach is getting a badly needed rail and cross seam reseal and then a pressure test to find any other leaks.  I’ve talked about this many times, with a flexible body designed and assembled like an aircraft fuselage, expansion joints and seams need periodic attention and revealing.  ………not ” add more goopahe on the topthe awning rail too has been slathered so much we may remove and reseal it too!  Guys, doing this on top of that side rail may aid in holding the water inside the rail so it will leak more!  0lease stop doing this.

And the windows…….oh my, when you see the window rubbers pulling out from the corner and gaps where the rubber has shrunk leaving an open space like this …..now you can gob this too but the reality is its saying “I need some love”.  Looks like its going to be a day of love!

So it’s 7:30 and the run is about to start.  Talk to ya tomorrow……maybe we’ll have a road test video……..

Say good morning to the folks El
