We finally went to Freight Liner and picked up the coach just as rush hour go home traffic was happening. By the time we left this dealer we decided to risk taking the coach home by I 40 and then north on I 25. Traffic was slow in places but continued to move and the trip back to Jerry and Marlene's place was not too bad. The coach handled well and we hope that everything is now fixed and that we can soon be on the road. Jerry wanted us to stay one more day and we will do that and then head for Colorado on Saturday.
Today the satellite television people visit to hook up our system so that we can get the fall programs where ever we happen to be.
When we were picking up the coach the man (Scott) we had worked with in the service department told us of a recent find he had while attending a garage sale. He had found some fishing reels and lures when the man selling this told him of a piece of equipment he had bought years ago in India that was used to find longitude and latitude for ships. Scott decided to by this and took it home. In investigating the equipment he discovered that it had been made in England in the 1700's and upon further checking found that it was quite valuable. His $90 purchase is worth $10,000 to $30,000. He has not sold it yet but is quite delighted with his find. I guess that we must continue to go to estate sales and garage sales. We may yet find a valuable bargain like Scott did. Happy travels.
