I hope everyone has a really great and safe time!  I'm jealous, but I have to save up my vacation time for my trip to Nova Scotia in September (to start looking for the retirement homestead!).

Have lots of fun and don't eat too much!

I can't wait for the upcoming TBR, Branson Eagle Rally and of course Christy's Rally in Carthage MO. The anticipation is killing me!

A bus rally Trifecta!

Plans are once again changed, grandkids dad want us to bring the kids to west branch for the drop off on saturday, we have to be at the outlet mall at 3PM in west branch, cause of the change we will be in the jeep but am trying to see if we can get to the  rally for a quick cup of coffee and a howdy to some old fiends.

We would love to make it Jack, we will see how Christmas plans go with the kids. Hopefully we can make it at least for a day or two. May show up afterwards, when kids leave, we will see. We are excited to go to our first rally though.

Jamie has found out she has an early sunday shift where she works, so no rally time for us, we'll only be able to drop of the kids with their father in west branch and then head back north.

Just getting unpacked from the Rally!  What an awesome time!  It was very nice to meet so many new friends on this trip, and to spend quality adult beverage time with old friends!  You know who you are!  As always, "What happens in Clio, STAYS in Clio!"  I was very relieved to not find my son's 10 Tonka trucks, dozers, diggers, and graders on top of the rest of the coaches!

Thank you to the three organizing amigos: Marty, Bob and Ed!

There ended up being somewhere mid 20's worth of coaches and some bum sleeping in an old Suburban.

Lots of repairs, adjustments, and investigations that put less experienced minds at ease.

These just might be some of the good reasons for folks to get themselves to a rally, where there's LOTS of friendly knowledge, tools and helping hands.

Off the top of my head:

There was quite an amazing amount of coach electrical troubleshooting work accomplished at this rally.
Mostly, sorting out the troubles that would trip GFI breakers on several coaches.

A bit of melted wire in one coach, one of the conclusions arrived at is that consulting about complex switch gear via the telephone does have its limits. (As does consulting via the internet!) And that discovering you are running 3 roof airs via that size wire... priceless!

A late evening arrival that plugged in, thought the plug was dead, changed to another plug... tripped out the sleeping neighbours   ( no harm, no foul, but it was pretty funny!)

A fuel pump in a toad that needed the tank smacked to start.

A loose bolt on an 8V92 letting coolant weep.

A small air leak in an engine room regulator and associated fittings detected on the way to solving the every 20 minutes cycling of the aux electric air compressor

A small plastic airline that popped out of its fitting in an engine room on the driveway during departure.

Many club dues were paid up, the treasurers of both GLCC and CCO went away happy!

Having banned the rowdy snowman from attendance this year, the late night drunken carousing seemed to be subdued in equal measure, and the campsite was much cleaner in the AM.

Either that or it had something to do with the folks from Wisconsin staying away?

Clio, Michigan?

I don't know 'nuthin.

happy coaching!
