Bird Sighting

[Jeff August]

Last Friday on my way to the races in Ohio I saw a Bird in Milwaukee
going north, strange thing is on my way home Sunday morning I saw the
same Bird going south.Maroon and silver with a green Land Rover in tow,
thought I saw pictures of it on the old site?

I was shocked to see a nice Bird in the campground in Gilbertsville PA where my
80FC35 is stored. When I was there yesterday morning. I did take the time to
know of the door and was greated by a very nice owner who didn't happen to know
about the group. Found out his bus was a 96WB42 which he bought new in 97. His
name is John Wren and I hope to see him on this group. He will also be needing
to talk to the head pooper for he needs a new valve or maybe just parts.

Taking our coach to town today, I spotted another bird headed toward
the coast on HWY 42 S of Roseburg ...it was a nice looking rig towing a
boat. First one I've seen in our area...the driver blinked his lights
at us. Anyone know who it might have been?
This being the anniversary weekend of my little brother's death, I'm
taking mom (84) and my grandson for a little getaway along the Oregon
coast heading north. I think if he can see us, my brother would be
pleased that we are taking his bird out for some 'exercise'.
The more I learn the systems and find everything works, I am even more
amazed by his wonderful coach. Tonight my grandson helped me figure out
the VCR and we found the tv/backup monitor plays color!It looks just
black & white for the back up monitor so the color movie took me by
surprise..
All systems seems go and we are looking forward to getting out of our
rut for a bit. Hope perhaps I'll run into another wanderlodge along
our way.
I'm glad the folks who came to see the coach earlier this year didn't
buy, they missed a good one. Haven't found much of anything that
doesn't work (except fuel gauge and cruise control...)
I have gleaned a lot of useful information from this site, and feel
more confident actually putting the coach to some use....
I feel comfortable driving it (used to pulling a gooseneck horse
trailer so that helped)
In fact I find driving it a total hoot! This trip tho I plan to keep my
speed down a bit. Found it cruised well at 70+ but all this tire talk
has me a bit spooked. The tires are only 2 years old but when my oldest
brother brought the coach to Oregon he had a steer wheel blow on the
passenger side. He managed to keep it on the road but said it was not
fun....
thank you everyone for sharing how to's etc.

Rose Mary, we hope you have a good trip. Wish my 84 year old mother would
even step foot in my coach. Maybe she is intimidated by my granite steps?

I saw BB in Hammond La. today , Brown and Tan with a tow parked in a
Dirt Cheap parking lot. they are everywhere. Pat started unpacking
Fine Wine today, didn;t realize how much stuff we carry. It is 99
degrees today so about 3:00pm she came in the house for a nap. We will
be back at unloading this evening. Can't wait for Fall to get here.

Hi Steve & Pat,
It was our bird you saw. We just returned from a 3 week trip to
Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons. Although I know
Ernie is somewhere up there in Montona enjoying life, we did not come
across him. We were enjoying the chinese food and the Dirt Cheap
parking lot looked like the place to park. We are certainly hating
being back in the 95+ temps. But it is time for kids to go back to
school and us get back to work. Our bird performed better than
expected. We did have the front A/C blower shut off a couple of
times. We were travelling on Genny so I don't think it could be a
power issue. We did hear the compressor running but the fan stopped.
We powered off the A/C and let set for a few minutes and powered back
on and was ok. Does this means we have a low freon problem or was it
just that hot?

Okay Ernie, 106 today and very sticky, rub it in. We would love to
come to Montana but are having trouble finding a hitch/towbar/trailer
for Fine Wine behind the Purple Diva.

The fan that turned it'self off may be in need of oil, they may be oil
fittings for the bearings at the end of the motor. I am only 25
minutes from you, if you need some help. I can come over.
Did you notive a guy with a tee shirt on in the Res. that said "I
would rather be in my garage"?
