Jeff & Suzanne Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks Charlie & Steve & all. . .it's a real "kick-in-the-pants" to work on a TV show set. The term "organized mayhem" comes to mind. Don't worry. . .we will remain the shy, modest and retiring couple you've known in the past Jeff and Suzanne with Scout and Sydney, the Cocker Spaniel Sisters touring in Fawkes the 2012 Phoenix Cruiser 2400 Sprinter "What happens in Vagueness, stays in Vagueness" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff & Suzanne Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hey Billie and Johnny, the Gilmore Girls episode is called "Unto the Breach" and will air in late April or early May. Look for us right behind Gilmore mom during the graduation scene. We film more tomorrow, but don't know what it is yet.

I know that you must be excited...and to get to see yourselves on TV...now that will be a real Kick in the pants... Well...something else really neat has happened out here on the desert... Mike and I met the very first people I started talking to (on the internet re: fulltimeing), as a result of this "Forum"...and they are: "Richard & Shirley. They are of the "Class of '05". They came into the SKP Park over where Gene & Shirley, Dave & Dianne, Chris & Cathy are, night-before-last...

Tonight we will be having a Pot-luck at our house with all of them...10 of us...Hope the wind dies down (yesterday It blew really hard and last night it kept me awake it blew so hard!!!)...and it doesn't get too cold...I don't think "TAD" would hold all ten of us to eat dinner...Happy hour, maybe...but not dinner...

Barbaraok Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 All right - that's enough. Everyone quit having so much fun until we can get done with (shudder) REPAIRS! All of a sudden the coach wouldn't start from the chassis batteries, had to boost with the house batteries. We did all of the trouble shooting we could think of, Dave was checking batteries, etc. We decided that we would replace the chassis batteries (they were very old), but that didn't help. So we made the trip back to Phoenix to have Cummins look at the coach. All the while knowing that when they found it, it would be small. Sure enough, it was in a cluster of contacts that Dave couldn't get to. Since we were here, we also had them change oil/filters/and lube. And either the stars are in the correct position or something, but in doing the inspections and replacing filters, they found the hangers for the air intake assembly had cracked and would likely have let go, resulting in BIG $$$ repair of the engine. Seems diesels really like to have their air clean and cool coming in. What is it they say, pay me now or pay me later? Well, we leave here a little lighter in the pocketbook, but hopefully avoiding a disaster out on the road somewhere. So we are headed back to Las Vegas so we can go see Candy Dulfer (Jazz saxaphonist) this weekend and then start our treck towards wine country.

charlie60 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Sorry to hear about your coach troubles...there is nothing worse...believe me I know... It is always better to get it fixed before it breaks...cause when it breaks it always costs more and it is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry inconvenient ... We are having fun though!!!

Barbaraok Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 We finally made it to Pahrump today. Wind is really blowing! We had thought we would try and stay in Vegas to go to our concert tomorrow, but everything (and I mean everything) was booked. So we will drive over tomorrow afternoon and back after the concert. Going to get together with Joe and Nancy this weekend and tour the winery and do some tasting!

annp Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi all you folks in Benson. I'm right next door to the SKP park, at San Pedro, which has a great Passport America rate. Maybe I'll ride my bike over to the SKP and visit before you all leave since it'll be warm this weekend. I saw some of you rowdy folks at La Posa/Quartzsite one night.

jimandbette Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Finally some classmates heading to Florida!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO Jim and I are absolutely loving our new home in the KEYS!! Right now we are staying in one of the houses on the refuge, but will be moving into our own place on Monday!! We were so fortunate......we found a completely furnished house on a canal (we even have our own boat dock)!! Since it is completely furnished, we don't have to 'repurchase' all of the furniture and necessities that we just sold!! The owner is even leaving her kayak, gas grill, televisions, etc. for us to use!! Jim seems to really be enjoying his "WORK" here, but then he has always loved what he does. The FLORIDA KEYS REFUGES start at Key Largo with the Crocodile Lake FWR and then there are three more between Key Largo and the last one is about 30 miles southwest of Key West....yep you guessed it, most of it is underwater!! There are some fabulous RV Parks down here, so if any classmates find yourselves in our area, please give us a shout! We are living on Big Pine Key (which is the location of the National Key Deer Refuge and is also the location of the offices for all four refuges!! Glad to hear everyone is having such a wonderful time 'on the road' and we are enjoying reading about all of the mini-get-togethers!!

Jim & Betty...so glad to hear that you are doing well and that all the things regarding home and work are in your favor...I's always nice when you don't have to worry or go to a job that you hate...

charlie60 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 DuaneandLouise How are you guys doin. in Califoria??? We are still here in the desert...and the weather is to change today...it is actually gonna'start gettin' warm...should be 86 by tomorrow...that's something, since it was in the mid thirties on Wednesday night... We'll be headin' East on Tuesday... The weather through Texas has been a little threatening though...We'll just have to out run the storms, I guess... Anyway it was good to hear that you're movin' through California... Remember: "Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful "RIDE"!!!!

charlie60 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Mike...we should cross paths soon...we are headin' East...and you are headin' West... How has the weather been in Livingston??? We will be on the most Southern route though...trying to stay out of "tornado alley"...and you will probably head out to California on a more Northern route... Any way have a great trip...

vogelly Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hi Charlie, The weather here reminds me a lot of the Midwest when I was growing up. Warm, muggy, buggy, and thunderstorms with lots of rain. Temps have been mostly in the 70s. Not sure what you mean by a southern route. I'll probably go back on 8, 10 or 40 or a combination there of. They're all southern cal routes. Anyway, be safe and have fun................mike My blah...blah...blah...blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
