Billy says, ” check the backuns, if theys ok, then check the frontuns! I’m still working on that one. I think the mechanic was referring to the jacks! I have to say, these Georgia boys know their stuff when it comes to working on motor homes, at least Dalton Automotive in Cleveland, Ga. does!

Hi folks. I haven’t said much lately aside from the occasional late-night diatribe. Mom’s kept me purty busy.

As I guess you know we have a brand-new 20-year-old DP. No, that’s not double anything. It’s diesel pusher; a bus with a bigass diesel in the back. So I’ve been on maintenance and repair detail the past month or so. And there’s lots more to repair and maintain than on a little class C.

Fortunately discretion was the better part and I had Dalton Automotive change oil and filters etc; Billy worked for a little over four hours and they charged me only for two hours plus it was _half the price_ of Florida shops. I wasn’t looking forward to dealing with four gallons of used oil. These guys are good and good for a story; a Georgia shop at its finest.

Back to our regularly-scheduled topic…

From the time Henry VIII founded the Royal Navy there has always been an Ark Royal. So that name for this big beast was out; it’s already taken. But an American-English derivative would work; “The Queen’s Barge.”

And somehow it’s more befitting to use the term “barge.”

Coming soon to a Burg near you.

Wow, I had no idea how hard it was to find scrambled eggs! A word for military gold braids. We found them somewhere on the Internet as a free clip art. Had to do a lot of Photoshop to get them just right on transparent backgrounds. We uploaded them to BuildaSign.com and selected dark blue as a background color and white text. I think they turned out real good. It will take at least 10 business days to get our new sign for the motor home. So if you see “The Queen’s Barge” traveling down the highways or byways, toot your horn!
