I Feel the Need for Speed’s . . .
As far as the rig repair goes, we’re still waiting to hear back from the insurance company, but since our agents, (and friends) Chris and Charles Yust of C and C RV Insurance are on the case, we’re not worried.
A couple of days ago Peter and Patty Louchheim got in touch with us about getting together. They were coming up from Scottsdale to stay at the Fairgrounds RV Park in Prescott Valley to stay for a while. We first met at one of Nick Russell’s late, lamented Gypsy Journal Rallies in Yuma, so that tells you how long it’s been.
Peter and Patty Louchheim showed up at our rig a little after noon. After talking for awhile, we then started talking lunch and decided on Speed’s Hanger Deli, a repeat for us and a first time for them. But they had read the blog post about our last visit and were happy to give it a try.
Jan and I did a rerun on our last visit, with her again getting the Rosie the Riveter,
while I got the Fatman, but on rye this time instead of sourdough.
Still delicious, and so big that both Jan and I took half home, along some of the great potato salad.
Peter got the 8oz Sirloin Steak Sandwich which looked so good I may try it next time, or the time after that. After all it’s not like we’re going anywhere anytime soon. Unfortunately, I lost track of what Patty ordered, but I’m sure it was good.
Since we hadn’t seen them in several years, we spent a good while just catching up. Like us, they have an older rig, a 1994 Safari, and are well aware of the trials and tribulations of keeping things running.
Since they’re staying over at the Fairgrounds RV Park in Prescott Valley, hopefully we’ll have a chance to get together again. After all it’s not like we’re going anywhere anytime soon.
Most of you have probably seen the video of the RV that was driving between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and had a blowout. If not, here it is.
This was all captured on the dashcam of a semi in the right lane. Makes me once again feel how lucky we were.
Note in the video how there was no one coming in the oncoming lane. These people were also lucky as you can see in this photo.
And here’s a link with more info about the crash.

Thought for the Day:
Ineptocracy:
……. A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
