Finished our
maintenance at Spartan Service Center on Tuesday. Other than planned maintenance the only item
found during the Spartan chassis inspection was a torn ball joint rubber
boot. Of course to replace the boot we
needed a new ball joint. Also had the
alignment adjusted (went to Alaska last year).
We’ve gone 1750 miles
since leaving Houston and needed an RV wash which we took care of this
morning. Had to do a little volunteer forestry
work to keep the DataStorm happy but we are online.
Plan to be here through
the weekend for a visit with Kathy and Tony Ricci. Will be heading west on Monday towards Denver
with a few days stopover in Custer, SD.
Below are Kathy and Tony Ricci
friends and former neighbors from our Louisiana days.
We had a great time
visiting several sites in the Dublin area.
Spent one day at the Dawes Arboretum (see above). We stopped by the airport in Urbana for
lunch. Always an interesting experience
watching small planes fly in and out as we had our lunch.
There is a small museum at the airport. Currently a WWII B17 bomber is in the process of being restored by volunteers. As an added bonus one to the 9 currently operational B17s was on site for tours and flights. We took the tour which was interesting. No wasted space in these machines. Just enough room for the crew, machine guns and bombs.
Below is the B17 available for touring.
Below is the current condition
of the B17 being restored.
