A big post to catch up.

6-20-2019 The motor home the first night we had it.

6-21-2019

This is the first picture Vera took with her new Nikon P900.  She liked mine and the zoom started acting up so I got her a new one.  I am reading up on the motor home systems because the turn signals didn't work on the way home.

I located the fuse panel during the turn signal repair, it was not real easy to get access to with out removing the grill.  After all the fuses checked good I went hunting for the turn signal flasher.  I still have not found it, but I discovered the problem was in the turn signal switch.

The step was not working because the coach batteries were bad so this was our route into the motor home for several days.

6-22-2019  I went flying this morning so I could check out the trim on the Vortex.

Dan was the only one there today, these are his planes, I had a good time visiting with him.

I left early so I could go to a lunch with former Instrument Repairmen from the shop I worked in at Longview Fibre for thirty years.  Bob was also a journeyman in the same shop. 

6-23-2019  We met Mik, Michelle, Josh, Debbie, Jordon and Jacob for Vera's birthday breakfast.  Vera and Jordon played with this toy for quite a while.

Jacob slept most of the time but he did open his eyes for a few minutes.  James stopped by on his way to work and wished Vera a "Happy Birthday".

As we were leaving, Mik took this group photo for us.  We really enjoyed seeing everyone.

After we got home I tore the steering column apart and got the turn signal switch out.  I was going to order a new one but it was held together with screws so I took it apart and discovered the grease had hardened so nothing was making contact.  I cleaned the grease off, polished the contacts, added new grease and reassembled it.  It now works great and I am an expert on Ford turn signals!

6-24-2019  I washed the motor home today and moved it to where it will probably be parked all the time.

6-25-2019  We went to the Toledo field today to a memorial fly-in and barbecue for Dick Anderson a long time president of the club who passed away last year.

Steve, Horty, Ken and Dan trying to look innocent.  I am not sure what they were up to but they sure looked happy all day.

Donna, Ken and May checking out the prize tables.  The red and white plane was the raffle's grand prize.

You can tell Horty was in the Navy, he is always the first one in the food line.

We had a good turn out today, one of the biggest in a long time.  I was last in the food line because I was taking pictures.

After lunch they had a contest for the kids.  They were given a small glider, some time to assemble and trim it out.  Then there were several round of flying them to see whose flew the longest.  The winner got a radio controlled park flyer.

At two they had a ceremony honoring Dick Anderson followed by a raffle of the prizes.

This is my last picture of the day, I had a great time.  It was also the old motor homes last trip to the flying field.

7-1-2019  After I put a good battery in the Intruder the step started working.  After a couple of days it quit again and I discovered the actuating arm was broken.  As I was researching a replacement I discovered that we had a 300 pound model and that they make a 700 pound model.  We decided to order the 700 pound one.  It came today and after unpacking it I found they had shipped the 300 pound.  After going around with them for a while on the phone they agreed to send me a prepaid return label.  Then I did some more looking online and found the 700 pound one for a hundred dollars less and ordered it.
