The FMCA rally ends tomorrow, and we'll be going back over to the coast for a stay at the next thousand trails in Pacific City. We have enjoyed our time here in Albany, particularly the visit with Bob & Diana and Bob & Brenda. The 2 Bobs dropped by the rally yesterday, while the new Winegard satellite antenna was being installed. Even though there is a tree that is partially blocking the southern sky, this new system quickly found and locked onto the 3 dish network satellites at twice the signal strength of the previous dome. Yahoo!, we now have high definition and an antenna that will hopefully work every time. Incidentally, the tech who installed the system, was a prior 15 year Monaco employee, and he has been called back to work starting this Monday. Monaco is emerging from chapter 11, with Navistar as the new owners. It will be interesting to see what products they keep building, and which ones go away.
I mentioned previously that there would probably be something else for sale at this rally, that I couldn't live without, and I was right. I've been thinking about a tire pressure monitoring system for a couple of years, but just haven't pulled the trigger. Well, I did yesterday, purchasing a Pressure Pro, 10 wheel system. We've been lucky, but over the years, I've heard lots of horror stories, about damaged RV's and towed vehicles from blowouts and flats. Most of those incidents would have resulted in less damage with one of these systems. I know I'll feel better as we head down the road, and put several thousand miles behind us this summer.
The weather has been cloudy and raining the past few days, with more of the same today.
