Wives and Coaches

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Getting back to the main theme of the original post, while doing an
inventory on other things is important, the write up I am talking about is
on the Coach and placed in the blue box. Not setting values at this time,
only giving whom ever a list of down items as well as up grades. The Coach
is going to a one item thing no matter the up grades or tires or?? But a
list of things done to the Coach that includes the down items, so whom ever
can come up to the Forum and have the answers written down in front of them
for the certain questions that are going to be asked, that way they can get
a learned idea of that present day's value, rather than having someone who
does not know Bird's saying to them, well there are no slides and it is an
old motor home so it should go for x amount and that amount be 10K under
what it is worth, this last is a for instance only.

I am not advocating writing a will, that belongs to Law firms or whom ever.
Let's not go there as it gets away from the topic and muddies the waters.
