Tucson McGraw's with Jan and Russ

Yesterday in the morning Lary got up really early and took the truck to the body shop to get some body repairs done on it, then he got a rental car a Pontiac G6 GT, in a nice burgundy color. It will take 3 days to repair the ouchie on the back of the cab, left side, right behind the driver. Luckily the window wasn't broken, as the body shop won't guarantee that they won't break it getting it out and then in again.

Back home, heard from Jan and Russ that they were going through Tucson and on to Tombstone, so we went to the coffee morning that Beaudry RV was sponsoring. They brought an '08 Cougar 5th wheel for everyone to view, but bunk bed model, and a big Class A, costing $250,000 MSRP, but now down to $175,000. We both looked at the Cougar, but only Lary looked at the Class A. He reported that it had 5, count them, 5 TV sets, including one down low in the underbody storage area. You just open the locker, sit down and view it outside!!!!!!

After coffee Lary decided to go up onto the roof and do some cleaning, then we went over in the early afternoon to Pima Air and Space Museum to meet them, Lary and Russ went in but Russ specially wanted to view their boneyard, the huge storage area where thousands of planes are mothballed, but still ready to go back into service if necessary. Sadly those tours were sold out, taken around 9 AM each day due to their popularity. They both toured one big hangar, but that left 4 more to do. They ran out of time, though they took a tram to view a portrayal of the US Air Force involvement in conflict worldwide from World War 2 forward in time. Jan and I went shopping, though the mall we went to was very old, and mostly empty. We both found some things to buy, there are lots of end of season sales on right now, and the clothes are suitable for us up north.

Then we 4 met back at our trailer, had a Happy Hour together, and went over to Tucson McGraw's a Bar/Steak place on Houghton Road, with a very nice view over the south side of Tucson. It was too cold to sit outside, the temps plunge with the sunset, but we all ate ribs or tri tips. Yum yum. Then we parted, us to come back to the campsite, and them to go on I-10 back to their temporary Park Model home in Mesa.

That's about all the news for today. Tomorrow is a Beans and Ham dinner here in the park put on by the Sawmill Club, the woodworkers group. And Lary will finish cleaning the rubber trim all around the roof, a huge dirty job, but very necessary.
