Hit a couple of RV dealerships but their parts departments were closed on Saturday. Did find a car wash along the way and was able to wash the West Texas dirt off the car. Also got directions to Home Depot a few miles from where we are staying. Unfortunately, they did not have anything that will work for the door. Guess I'll just have to wait until Monday and have the parts person here call the factory to see if they can get us the parts. (The RV Resort where the rally is to be held is part of a large RV dealership. This is the same dealership where we bought this coach in October 2006.)
Got back just in time as one of our club members came by to invite us over to their coach for morning coffee. This couple lives in California and have missed the last couple of the Monaco America rallies that have been held in the eastern part of the country. (This rally is being held by Monaco International owners club, a different club than the one we are most involved in. The Monaco America spring rally will be held in Hutchinson, Kansas, in May.)
After a good visit w
ith Jack and Penny we had to get back to the coach for my lunch date. An old shipmate of mine from my days in the 1960's on the USS NEWPORT NEWS came by to pick me up for lunch. Dick Kelbaugh and his wife are also RVer's and winter over here in Tucson. The two of us hit a local Jason's Deli and spent a couple of hours catching up and swapping sea stories. Dick was a Navy Lieutenant that I worked for when I worked in the Engineering Log Room during my second deployment to Vietnam in 1968-69. Hopefully we can stay in touch and it won't be another 41 years before we see each other again.

There are a large number of the over 300 coaches that are registered to attend this rally already here. This looks like it is shaping up to be a good time for all.

I'm envious that you get to wear shorts. I'm down to two thermal layers instead of three in the house...
The first time Bill and I drove across the Texas panhandle, Bill remarked that he'd never seen so much nothing in all his life.
