Towing The Bus

Here are some pictures that I took of our motorhome being towed to Craig Smith RV Center in Galion for brake work and some other repairs. The brake work is related to a recall from Workhorse chassis (GM) so hopefully that cost will be covered by Workhorse. The other items, such as some roof leaks, generator check up, etc. were jobs that I was going to have someone do, but since the bus is in this garage, we're having them done now. That way we should be in shape for the trip south later this year.

It was a long day. We had to get up this morning and get all the items that we needed to take home with us transferred to the car. Then we disconnected the water, sewer and electric lines and put the slides in. After fastening everything down inside for safe travel, we waited for the very large tow truck to arrive.

Then we followed the tow truck to the RV Center, got all the repairs authorized, had a late lunch and drove home. Of course, we then had to unload the car and sort everything out to the proper place in the house. We were tired. We did get a bit of a lift from the beautiful sunset shown in the last picture.

Vintage TV

Sue and I were watching "The Price Is Right" today and I mentioned that I remember the show being quite a bit different when I watched it as a kid. Thanks to YouTube, we can all see how the show, with host Bill Cullen, looked in 1957. Maybe it's just me, but I think that Drew Carey is trying to morph into Bill Cullen.
