Heading to Redmond, OR

Good as new, the repaired fender from the tire blow out in NV in May


The 'fix' to the back door of the trailer


The 'waterfall' we experienced during one of the storms we had the end of July


We have had a busy month getting all the furniture and 'stuff' out of the mobile and into the storage unit in Klamath Falls.

The parts for the Aqua-Hot finally arrived and it once again is up and running. PTL! Also Larry has the repairs done on the trailer where the tire tore up the fender. He found the hook for raising the back door on the trailer was coming loose as well as the door was bowing so he fixed all that as well. I wasn't too sure how it would look since he had to make the repairs on the outside of the door, but he did a great job and it doesn't look too bad. The door is much easier to close now.

We are getting everything ready to head to the FMCA convention in Redmond, OR this weekend. We are also attending the Coaches for Christ pre-rally at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. We will again be driving the handicap golf carts during the convention like we did three years ago.

I complained about the cold weather when we arrived in May and now it has turned HOT so basically we had no spring! This weather here reminds me alot of AZ desert weather in July and Aug--hot during the day, then an afternoon or early evening rainstorm with a sudden cool down and then hot the next day again. We have had several short but bad storms with trees down and six electric poles snapped in two along the highway with the electric being out for several hours-some folks where without electric for over 12 hours. We were fortunate to be out for only two hours.
