Yesterday, someone with a big yeller truck with a Szmyt Wonder Bed, pulling a Mobile Suites rolled in.  The MS is now residing in our shop, and the truck is parked out back.  Time for some story telling and finding the bottom of craft brews.😁

Why yes, it looks a lot like that one.  But, instead of Darth, the black smart, it now carries Blanche, a white/orange smart.

Cindy and Jeff just left our house after an evening of story telling and much laughter.  Good friends, good times.

Well you didn't mention the Smart in your original post. So I didn't feel the need to update that they've gotten a new one that is no longer black. Hahahahaahh. Yes, they're a great couple.

Howdy Y'all! 

Been busy since leaving Pope Farms.  Mr & Mrs. Eieio were once again the consumate culinary tour guides of south eastern Indiana.  While staying on the farm, we got a small project done on the Sonshine Express and planned another for a future visit.  While on the drive up to Lagrange, In for RV repairs and upgrades, we had the rear leveling valve rod come off.  Sutton's Truck and Auto Repair made a roadside assistance call for us and got us back on the road PDQ and at a very reasonable price.  While waiting for a repair at LCI, we noticed the charge from the altenator was down.  We called Eagle Transport near Goshen, and they got us in the same day and had a rebuilt alternator on the shelf and had in on the truck in a little bit more than an hour ($85.00 per hour labor rate).  Feeling very blessed and fortunate to have had excellent experiences, when the potential for rip offs were there.  Relaxing in an AirB&B while waiting for Indiana Interstate Enterprises upgrades our rig.  Thanks Rick and Susan for being such gracious hosts.  Already looking forward to the next visit!

It's always a fun time when you visit.  We too, are looking forward to the next time.  But I'm trying to figure out how I gained ten pounds in the short time you were here.😮

Sheesh!  What a rough crowd!  We never made it to any buffets, but we did some real damage to the spaghetti and meat sauce, and home made garlic bread.  We went out to breakfast once too, but it was just a three course thing........😉
