HOME BRIEFLY

After having Spectrac re-adjust the front end of our motor home, the drive home from the Phoenix area was a real pleasure. This was the 4th time I attempted to have the front end aligned, and I think it finally got fixed. From day one, a little over 3 years, the steering has pulled to the right, and the wear on the outside of the front tires has been extensive. It appears that when we had Monaco align the front end before they went bankrupt, they actually made it worse, and according to Spectrac, it was dangerously close to a severe front end wobble, had we hit a bump just right. Now, maybe I won't have to buy 2 more tires, before we leave Lake Havasu in a few months. Yesterday, we spent most of the day cleaning the motor home, after parked for 2 weeks at the Tucson Rodeo grounds. As much as we like to work that event, the parking conditions are a little less than ideal. With the changing weather we went through, it seems like if it wasn't dry and dusty, it was raining and muddy. We were both glad to get the inside and outside clean, and get it parked under the shade cover. Today, Jim and Megan will be arriving, and will park their motor home next to the house, where they will stay for a few days. This Saturday is our Alaskan Reunion BBQ, and if everyone shows up, we'll have about 20 of our friends here at the house. We all have the Skagway experience in common, and it will be fun to share some recollections of those days we all lived in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
