Who says it can’t happen! A rebirth …….. . of Texas Tux………

It’s done….these things are NEVER done but Texas Tux does not have to go home but he can’t stay here.  In fact, Tom H. …… Texas Tux first in command and his wife….that puts up with this nonsense…..are flying in tomorrow…..roll out of here for a non stop to Texas then will be showing up at Amana…….if the planets stay aligned ….please pray with me brothers and sisters…..

<<<<<<{{{{{{{  Spoiler Alert. }}}}}}>>>>>>>

The following is what Tom will see tomorrow……Tom, if you wanna wait….hide your eyes…….yeah right!

This is a very special evening the night before delivery.   Even more so here….I delivered Texas Tux to Tom H. 19 years ago…….all new again I’m delivering it again.   In days past we have had good as well as challenging deliveries.  I must tell you after our realistic look at really what it takes to do a job like this and bringing the customers in as partners too,…..my guys have solidified as the can do it guys………. We set realistic goals and we achieve them.  It’s a partnership with all of us, the coach and his steward. Us mere mortals come and go while these machines live on.  I want to give you a hint at what’s in store for them tomorrow.

This is glamour night…..me and a Whopper, fries and a Coke ……party on Garth.    . I wish I was smart enough cause there are 2 competing independent remote controlled LED light strings blowing at you .  Yep flash…..change color ….whoopy….do…..  And his Mac Dash is a wash in color and 8 speaker sound.  Walking to the new “executive” rear old bath ………. new water closet and wash room.  .Looking into the heavey mirror over the head you can see more . The interior has a look all its own..And yes, that is the galley . .Its dark now, lets go outside. ....

This is Texas Tux time to shine…..each coach in our restoration Q will have this day……..Congratulate them and know your time is coming…..one step closer!  Monday Texas Tuxs hits the sidewalks of America, watch for them…… I’m tired….yes I worked on Saturday……it is what it is…….see ya Monday.  Tomorrow I’m taking a motorbike ride!  Bye……
