If it’s Thursday, it must be turkey…
Well, it’s officially Winter here in Elkhart.
Jan woke up to snow coming down this morning. Big fluffy flakes, but it didn’t stick because the ground wasn’t cold enough.
About 11 am we headed out to Cracker Barrel for lunch. Thursday is Cracker Barrel day because Thursday is when they have Turkey and Dressing. And Jan loves their Turkey and Dressing.
Coming home we found even more GMC motorhomes here in the park.
I think there’s about 20 of them here now.
This picture illustrates the difference between the two styles of GMC motorhomes. Basically there is a big one and a little one. The one on the left is 26 feet long. Note it has a extra window. According to the factory brochure, the 26 foot model had 11 different floor plans and the shorter, 23 foot model had 4 different floor plans.
Almost 13,000 GMC’s were produced between 1973 and 1978, with about 9000 still on the road. Quite a feat for a 25 year old RV.
Coming back to the rig, I spent a couple of hours finishing up my taxes that had to be sent in today and then headed down to the Post Office to drop it in the mail.
Coming back to the rig, I stopped off at the office to check our mail. Besides a package from Amazon, I was surprised to find that the new shocks that I’d ordered last Friday had already arrived.
So back at the rig I called the mechanic to let him know the shocks were here and he could schedule the install.
About 5 we headed out to North Garden Buffet, a really good Chinese buffet that’s nearby.
After we got back to the rig we talked to our son, Chris, who’s in SC going to Crime Scene Cleanup School. His company, Garner Environmental, is branching out into this area. Normally they do toxic spill cleanup, oil spill cleanup, and tank cleaning standby rescue. So I guess this is just another type of cleanup.
More tomorrow…
