Or is it from the alkali in the water? Try that stuff in the rinse they use in dishwashers that eliminates water spots on glasses.
I thought that ceramic coating on your coach eliminated water spots.

Doesn't eliminate water spots I can tell you, but they do come off easy.I never have problems when I use the rinse less wash at home with R/O water

"Nearly 9,000 Canada Border Services Agency employees are going on strike beginning today (Aug. 6) – just three days before the border is set to open to vaccinated U.S. travelers on Monday. Union members warn this could cause long delays at the border, according to a report by the Detroit Free Press.

Both the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the Customs and Immigration Union served a strike notice to the Canadian government on Tuesday (Aug. 3), according to a news release. The strike is set to begin at 6 a.m. on Friday.

"We truly hoped we wouldn't be forced to take strike action, but we've exhausted every other avenue to reach a fair contract with the government," said Chris Aylward, Public Service Alliance of Canada national president, in the release. "Treasury Board and CBSA have been clear they aren't prepared to address critical workplace issues at CBSA at the bargaining table."

Union members and border officers have been without a contract since June 2018, and they said this is the breaking point.

"We've been on the front lines of Canada's reaction to the COVID-19 crisis and the government has just not given us respect at the bargaining table," said Richard Savage, first national vice president for the Customs and Immigration Union."

Maybe figure on getting & leaving the bus in Tok so we can start flying back & forth but the bulk of the excitement is the road trip...

Dan, like you I hate facing the "new reality" of getting older. If Tok is the real new reality grab it and shake it real hard. Tok to the homestead will become the same thrill as was the entire trek. Trust me in this. Jack

Tom, that is old news. They have settled, and are working as usual.

Jack not only is the trust there but also is the mindset. It's cool how we ended up conversing in unison on different boards at similar times. Thanks, advise well taken...
