Birders visit
Ralph & Charolette: Patsy and I thoroughly enjoyed our brief
enroute visit with you in Duncan, OK on Wednesday March 5th. Ralph's suggestion for us to park the "Freedom Bird" on the Fairground's newly paved parking lot (could still see the blue chalk lines left by the stripers) was less hassle than negotiating the construction on 11th Street. This was our first time to meet Raplph and Charolette, and what kind and helpful people they are! Following Ralph's walkaround/inspection of our 89FC35SB and sharing photo albums, we enjoyed BBQ sandwiches, slaw & potato salad (catered by Charolette and Patsy) in the Bluebird dinette designed with just enough room for a foursome. Thanks for the tips...wiring 110V outlet (behind driver) from 1500 W inverter for laptop power; or add small dedicated inverter powered from cigar lighter for laptop thereby elimination my unsightly extension cord from present inverter powered outlet; blow dust from sensors (5) to reduce false alarms; use long dishwasher brush? for cleaning inaccessable burners on suburban LP furnaces; carry proper plug fittings for blocking airlines if an airbag should fail; if running EQUAL balancing product in the tires, carry a few of the special filtered valve stems for replacing leakers; carry splicing fittings for repairing nylon airline leaks; dedicate a compartment for carrying spare parts and tools. Oh and the best part, we followed Ralph's work van and stopped in front of their house to snap a photo of "RUFF DIAMOND" and then East on State Hwy 7 to Randy Montgomery's tire shop where his crew quickly installed a new filtered valve core in our RR tire containing EQUAL...thank you. We arrived safely back at our South Central Missouri home March 6th after 15 weeks in Texas...got ahead of the snowstorm!
