chiefneon Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Howdy! Ron & Linda, Karen and I know what you mean about the floor from hell. It took us over two weeks after removing the carpet to finish the flooring in the 5er. One major problem we had was a leaking toilet and then having to pull that area up and refloor it again. It was well worth the work, it looks great and no more nasty carpet.

JoeandMarcia Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 We went into an RV dealer the other day looking for vent screens and while we were there we just had to peek at some of the new rigs. All they had inside was tag-a-longs, but I was shocked to see laminate floors in them. I guess someone in the rv industery got the hint! We really liked the laminate in the Santara, and love it in the Kountry Star. Just sweep and mop, makes cleaning a snap. So much of a snap I don't think Marcia needs my help cleaning any more........

JoeandMarcia Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think the "school mom" should set up a 5 year reunion and everyone converge on Q in 2012, or 2013. It would be very interesting to hear all the horror stories we have accumulated! We left Raccoon Valley today, made it all the way to the KY Horse Park. We will tour Woodford distillery tomorrow AM before pointing the rig north again. The "etch-a-sketch" has the UP of MI on it right now, but I know there are a few bumps in the road between here and there. Unless I missed some the count is 18 (present) and 3 that wish they had not missed the adventure at Q in Jan of 2008. (Trisha, you was there right? (my C R S has kicked in) That still leaves 12+ rigs unaccounted for, someone help me!!!!!

patricia90518 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Joe - I was there, parked in the back near Patti & Hank. Bob & Jay helped me with coming in from the road, since I was concerned about the dip between the road and where we were parked. - Trisha Trisha Schmidt 2008 Tiffin Phaeton 2006 Saturn Vue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeandMarcia Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 RJ bob Evans, what is (if you have one) your wifes name? I see you post a lot but can't remember your better half. (sorry) Yes Trisha I do remember, but the C R S kicks in offten now-a-daze. Steve and Sandy, I also remember Keith and Carolyn, but since Carolyn has been in Oregon she has all but quit posting here. They looked out of place with the kayaks on top of the car in the middle of the desert. I really think full timeing was Keiths dream more so than Carolyns, but hey I could be wrong about that too. (although I have NEVER been wrong before, I thought I was once but I was just mistaken) Lets keep the names coming, I might have a special gift for some lucky poster, but then I might not too, so just post up and hope.

David and Kathy, I hear they get the Sunday paper on Tuesday in some of those hills, and they have to pipe in the sunshine. John we thought about you as we were passing through, nut the CRS kicked in after Marcia dug out ytour number. I am happy it isn't 90+ degrees here, the AC's needed a break.

lelandschliep Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Wow, do I ever lose track of everyone fast. Of course when we sit still, everyone else seems to be going faster. Like watching traffic from the on ramp. Moving fast, then when you are out there, not too bad. We are still at our property here in Montana. Went to our grand daughter's wedding last weekend. That was lots of fun. Our pole barn is going up. We limited ourselves to 40' X 40' with 16' walls. It will be nice to be able to back in out of the weather and the SUN. Here's a photo after day two of building. Leland & Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Chappy Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Joe I know Carolyn Wilkerson is currently not on the road & is in Ashland, Or. She & Keith were @ Q. Carolyn's on Facebook and posts there often. The rig needs/needed a lot of work done on it to get back on the road, so she is not traveling now. I'll post her on facebook about a "reunion" and see what she says. Also at Q in 2008 was Bill Borger and Lesle Thomas who made the Road Kill Stew one night and also Sal and Bobbie Tumolo...how could we forget Sal's "Bad to the Bone" performance at Silly Al's!!!!!!! We sure would come to a Q reunion in 2012 or 2013.....we were there this year and will go to southern Texas this coming January. We really like the Yuma area.

We have finally found the hot weather...we are in Casper, WY for the night, then headed to Blackhawk, SD to get our main A/C fixed on Monday before hitting Sturgis for two weeks. Thank goodness we have the bedroom A/C or I'd be in a hotel!!!
