Window Shopping (mostly), preventative maintence, the pampered dog, and Family.

We ventured out to the exhibition halls for the first time after Steve (me) went to two seminars at the "convention/rally". Except for a cover for the tow bar, a sign that identifies us for the motor home, and two free bags of pancakes, we did ok. The seminars are very interesting, but also cause one to think about all the things you need to do to keep the motor home in tip top shape. A two hour a month chore will probably end up a all day event.

Speaking about preventative maintenance, a mobile oil change, lube, and liquid level check truck came to service our coach at my request. 19 quarts of oil later, and a service of the generator was done in a short hour and half by someone who actually enjoys siding under the coach and getting dirty. It cost a little more than jiffy lube (ha,ha), but was well worth it. Every thing checked out great, and it won't be necessary for another 11,000 miles or one year.

(above)For you dog (or cat) spoilers, here is the picture of the day. I don't have my own entrance, exit, but he/she does.

We spent a great evening with my nephew Robert, his wife Lisa, and their son Michael (not Mikey or Mike, but Michael!) at dinner. One of the things we look forward to during this trip is getting to see friends and family that have been separated by distance. Michael was a very patient young man while the adults visited for an hour or more. Family is always important!

We are taking a day off from the Convention today to go by train to Santa Fe. We look forward to another great adventure.
