Welcome To Texas . . .
Well, guess what?
This is what the Weather Channel calls ‘Mostly Sunny”.
Told you they lie.
But at least it was dry enough to finish installing the three wheel well flanges.
This is what I started with —
And this is how they looked when I was finished.
The last one, on the driver’s rear, went on with no problems whatsoever. However the first two, on the passenger side, were more problematic.
The problem was that the holes in the brackets mounted on the coach didn’t match up with the pre-drilled holes in the flanges. It almost looks like they were hand-fitted and drilled.
It would seem that they would have a jig to mount the brackets so they would match up with the holes already drilled in the flanges, but I guess not.
Michele Henry at Phoenix Commercial Paint did a fantastic job on the doors and the flanges last year in Elkhart. So if you’re in Elkhart, IN and need anything from a touch-up to a full body paint job, Michele’s the one. In fact, even if you need a paint job and you’re not in Elkhart, it’s worth the trip.
The clouds finally went away just in time for the sun to go down. But I did get these photos of the two types of pelicans in the area. This is one of our local brown pelicans.
And these are white pelicans. It’s the first time I’ve seen them this year. They look a little orangey, but that’s from the setting sun.
Now the sun comes out.
On another note I had been looking for another hose splitter to replace my old one that cracked and started leaking. I like using one so I can keep two hoses hooked up, one to supply the coach and one for a hose and spray nozzle. But I never found one I really liked since they all restricted the water flow, cutting down on the water pressure in the coach.
Then I found this one at Home Depot and I really like it. It’s a Vigoro High Flow Dual On/Off Valve and it was just what I was looking for. If you need one, check it out.
Nick Russell called about 6 pm to let us know he and Terri had made it to the Escapees Park in Livingston, TX.
He thinks he’s in for warmer weather here in Texas since he left Florida. What he probably doesn’t know it it’s going to be in the 20’s Friday night.
Welcome to Texas, Nick and Terry!
