We woke up to an absolutely gorgeous morning. Not only was the sun shining, but it was warm enough even early to be outside with just a sweater. And by early afternoon, the sweater was way too warm!
We had a devotional inside the tent (though it was warmer outside in the sun...) after boxes and boxes of pastries had been devoured. I'm not sure how many dozen they had gone into town to get, but the boxes were stacked quite high on the tables.
We waited until after lunch when Bobby Vodden of Kustom Coach Works showed up to take some measurements of Auntie Violet. The Club had had an "Open House" of coaches on Friday afternoon where people who had done modifications of their coaches invited people to come take a look at what they had done. Forry and I have been talking about taking out the dining table and having a desk built in that space along with some file drawers. We really like the work that Bobby had done in several of the coaches we looked at.
Bobby had some good ideas about how to modify some of what we had seen to fit with what we wanted. He asked some really good questions about the way we function that I hadn't even thought about. He and his partner took measurements of everything and will give us an estimate tomorrow morning. Their shop is in Junction City, Oregon. When we come back to Oregon for Daughter Dawn's graduation from nursing school in June, they will have everything built and ready to install.
After Bobby and Scott finished up, we went back in to the RV show. Yesterday Forry had bought a new water pressure valve from a guy that also makes up water hoses with brass connectors. After he'd thought about it overnight, he decided that he wanted to get some new hoses from him as our water hose is starting to break up. So now we have two new 25 foot water hoses!
We got back to camp in time for a nap before the catered BBQ dinner tonight. An outfit from Havasu City brought in their truck and served a wonderful meal of barbecued pork ribs, chicken, potato salad, baked beans and rolls.
A great many coaches left already this afternoon and evening. We'll head out some time tomorrow morning and meet up again with Tom and Juni on the Colorado River up by the Nevada border.
