I would really hate for y'all to get your new coach out here only to have something(s) blow off the roof! Temps will be like 9 degrees Sat. nite.

It would seem better for y'all to head south to I-20 at the least ... And I'm not sure they're going to miss the storm down that way (Abilene and points west on I-20).

The bikes can wait. But since you have them on board, maybe some Mutant who'll be at Dead Horse will be willing to hang on to them for us til we get to AZ around April 3.

I'm afraid that if you park yourselves in Lubbock, 1) you might get stuck for several days and 2) you might sustain some damage to your new coach. Makes me sick to think of missing you two, but we would not feel good about you coming here with this major winter storm descending on us on Sat. afternoon/evening.

The next post has the URL to the weather report.

Mel.... Looking and planning right now... We are in Witchita Falls. Do you or Kate know anyone on our path out of here or points south that we can leave the bikes with? They are inside the jeep.... Dont have a rack on this one. We could drop them off somewhere.... Possibly even at your place.... Just find me a place... If you can...

Sue... BEAUTIFUL......

WAYNE.... please take your voodoo hex off of us.....

Chuck.... Been missing ya...

Shara... Healing ohms..








Diane toftSFM#64....... (The Original Fast Talking Sliding Finger Mutant) and is retired, duh!

Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, sounds familiar... Hmmm... Oh, that was one of my Tech Schools in 1961... Memories...

Hope you can find a good route & play Santa with the bikes on your way...

I tried telling them to "GO SOUTH," but no they had to go to North Texas. Everyone knows it snows in North Texas - well, except Arkies.

They do look very very nice. May the many rides on the rainbow be filled with sights and safety.

Tim, I got a new hat also. Just wish Citrus would get some new feet, or get fixed.

Sweet, I say, sweet! And I thought you were downsizing. What was it? Tandem axle to one?

Merry Christmas Chuck

Okay, here's the Tuscalounger as seen last month, perched on its hill at the dealer's:

Attachment 114826

Look, Di: a tagggg! It's the 45 AT, and yes, Barb, it's still a Tuscany, but we won't be returning to the previous shop!

Walk-through was yesterday, with issues noted for fixing before drive-out. Maybe by noon...? More pics later.

AquaHot system -- looking forward to that! Much expanded kitchen, closet space and storage bays -- woot! Major faults in the AV system, though -- I wonder if that can be taken care of by noon! (On Bella, Martin and I rewired it). At any rate, we're looking forward to loving this coach.

So far, she's been dubbed Florence for a Tuscan city, but of course we'll go with the Flo. ('Tis to laugh, my BIL would say).
Golly! Seems that the upgrade bug is more contagious than first forecast. I think that Mary Ann and I are well insulated from the upgrade bug, but we can both look and admire the new coaches as they arrive in Tuscon.

Congrats to all of the mutants on their new digs, new j*bs, new knees, new S & B, new outlooks on life, newly repaired moms, etc., etc.,

Oh yea, MARRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. I just love this time of year.

Steve... we have only know you a few short years, but I feel safe in saying, you two love every time of the year!

Looking forward to seeing you in AJ. Won't be long now!

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all the STMs near and far. May Santa bring you lots of bacon and fun times. May the new year show you lots of open roads with many unexpected adventures.
