  1. We had dinner on Tuesday night with Robb and Carol Isaacs. Had a very nice evening. They are in Goshen having work done on their Montana and we are sitting at the Mor/Ryde factory in Elkhart waiting for the second day to get a return call from Teton to see if they are going to pay for replacing the wrong axles they installed on our Teton when it was built. Getting real frustrating.

  2. BRRRR!!! It's cold, windy and raining here in Wichita. I want to go south icon_frown.gif Parts still haven't arrived from Teton yet. They told Doonan's Body Shop yesterday that they were shipped UPS. But they also said they were shipped last Tuesday. We know that didn't happen. I called Teton yesterday and they couldn't find the Parts Manager. Left a message and never got a call back. I am really frustrated.

  3. Still in Wichita waiting for parts. It has rained here all day today. Bob and Sharon got ready to leave today until they discovered they didn't have any brake lights on the truck or trailer. They will get it checked out in the morning and then leave. It has been great having them around. We've enjoyed time together, especially going out to eat. icon_biggrin.gif Hopefully our parts will arrive tomorrow.

    I'm afraid we won't be able to stop by and see you. Big O Tires is giving me a real run around. When I bought new wheels to hold the pressure of the G Rated tires I bought from the Big O in Yuma, they got the wrong Wheels. Only held a max of 80 psi. The low pressure caused 3 tires to blow out at the sidewalls. I called them and they were supposed to send me the proper wheels. They were supposed to arrive in Gillette last Friday. I came to find out they hadn't even been sent. We are now in Fort Collins, CO and they are suppose to send the wheels there. But they won't arrive until Friday of this week. I have to be in Sadalia, MO for a Rally on Sunday, so once the tires are installed, I will have to high-tail it to MO non-stop. The manager at the Yuma Big O is mostly concerned only that he doesn't lose his shirt in replacing what he should have done right the first time. Unless I can get the wheels expedited when I talk to the Big O Corporate office tomorrow and raise h**l, there won't be a minute to spare to get to my next destination on time. We were really looking forward to seeing you guys. Guess we'll have to wait until Wichita.

    We are waiting for Big O Tire to ship some new wheels to their store in Gillette. Supposed to be here tomorrow or Friday. Have to be in Sadalia, MO for a rally on Mon July 17th so we will let you know as soon as possible when we should be coming through.

     

    Larry - I would guess it will be later in the week than Wed when we get to the Oakley area, but we will stop by and see you on the way through.

  6. Jim and Valerie stopped by to see us today. We discovered each other as a result of an accident in the road behind our rig. I looked out our back window to see a lady in a 3-wheeled cart walking a dog on a leash beside her. All of the sudden my dogs barked at it out the window and her dog pulled toward our rig and toppled her and the cart. I ran out to see if she was OK and help her up when I looked up and there was Jim and Valerie. They pulled up in front of our rig just as she toppled. After we got her up, we had a nice visit under our awning.

  7. We jsut arrived at the Corps of Engineer campground in Ft. Worth, TX this afternoon. Will be there until Friday. Then it's back to Doonan's in Wichita to have the damage on the back of my Teton repaired. Then we head for AZ. Will be at Mountain View RV Park in Huachuca City for the month of December. Then Quartsite and Las Vegas in January. Then we will continue to roam around the southwest until the snow is gone and the weather warms up.
