Another Christmas Past

Had a Wonderful Christmas, the Grandkids really enjoyed it. Amber was a bit under the weather so I had the honors of getting Dinner ready, everyone ate it and no one got sick so I guess I did pretty well. Leza and Keith were in Georgia this year spending Christmas with his family. We rotate every year so we will entertain them next year. We hope everyone had a Wonderful Christmas and a Great NEW YEAR.

Another Fantastic Rally

Another fantastic Rally, this one was the Texas Boomers Annual Christmas Rally at Rayford Crossing. Real good turn out and lots of fun, fellowship and of course Great Food and plenty of it. Our Friends Jim and Judy, married on the Thursday prior to the Rally, Great Couple, they celebrated with the Boomers. Weather was a bit misty and foggy, kinda like London, but never held us up, Great time. We are definately Blessed to have so many friends some we see often, others only on the Special Rallies, but we enjoy all of them and look forward to seeing them.

Best time of the Year

Well, in just a few short weeks we will celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It's hard to believe another year has almost passed, and we even met more people, we are truly blessed. Thanksgiving was great with the Girls handeling a bit of it of course Mom and I did the biggest part, still piecing on the leftovers. Finally went to pick up the trailer from Coushatte campground, we had a really nice site and kinda hated to put her back in storage. All cleaned up and waxed, but I see rain in the forecast. Checked the slideout going in and it apeared that all the seals were ok, guess will find out more after the sweetheart campout. Amber and Leza went bead shopping yesterday, getting ready to make some more jewelry for gifts, etc. Looking forwrd to the Christmas Rally and seeing some friends we haven't seen in a while, till next time.

Oh Wow first problem

Well, we just experienced our first major problem with the trailer. We left it at Coushatte to wash and wax it and clean the interior real good. The last time out we noticed an area under the slide out that had been wet. The residue was rusty colored and ran from under the slide out in front of the bar and against the curbside. Saturday when we went out and Amber found an area in front of the Dinette seat that had been wet, and bubbled the floor in a small area by it. It did not get under the seat area just in front by the street side wall. Well don't you know that since Coachman sold out to Forrest River they have no service department and only Robbie the Robot answering the phones. I emailed the service department of Forrest River, but haven't heard from them yet. The unit was just a year old the end of June, and had been giving it good reviews, no major problems till this. I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday and hope to fing the problem and get it fixed. The quality of RV's still appear to be there, any brand any type, hopefully the manufactures can get their S=== togeather and regain customer confidence, it seems customer service has went by the wayside.

Coushatte Campout

Another Great Campout with the Texas Boomers, it was nice to see so many old friends and a few new ones. The weather couldn't have been much better, mild sunny days and cool evenings.
I had the first chance to use my new fire pit that I got at the September Rally auction. Saturday's visit to the Newman Castle was nice. It is hard to imagine that one man could have done so much work in building that castle. For those of you that may have missed it here is the link to the castle site. Newman's Castle Slideshow . We are definately Blessed to have so many old and new friends, and to have been given the opportunity to have been asked to be the area leaders for the Southeast Boomers. Sorry we didn't get any pictures. I have a few video clips but don't know how to post.

Hitch Problems

Early this am I called Progress Mfg, regarding the Equalizer hitch on our rig. Talked to a nice Service adviser, they requested that I take and send pictures of the Hitch head, bars, contacts, pins, etc. Sent in the pictures awaiting an answer sometime tomorrow. We really had a time trying to back the unit in the parking spot, it would go for a bit while turning, then a loud Pop and Bang and the trailer would slide from side to side up to about 2 feet. It appears that the tension is a bit tight on the unit. All measurement are according to manufactures listings so we're not quite sure what the problem is. Lifetime Warrenty on it and the advisor stated they could authorize a dealer to correst it if deemed necessary at no charge. Hopefully we'll get some answer tomorrow.

Another Great time

Call me Lovely!!!!

Great Food and lots of it

Another Great time Texas Boomers at RV Ranch, Burleson,TX

As usual another great time with the Texas Boomers. This was our annual fund raiser and it turned out really great. Fun and good food as usual. You can never tell just exactly what will occur during one of our events, but you can rest assured that there will be a good time to be had by all. The weather was beautiful after Fridays drive up there, rained most of the way. A few Boomers had problems on the way up, but all made it safe and sound. Had a few problems with the hitch on the rig at the Storage lot but managed to get it finally backed in OK, will have to contact Equalizer tomorrow.

Our Lakeside Campout was really nice it rained almost all day on Thursday and again on Friday morning. The Pavilion for our Pot-Luck was totally unacessable. The Park moved enough tables to a vacant site near all our units and we made it work. A really nice park with a few problems to iron out and to address, but we're sure it will get done and sure we'll be back again next year. Next Rally is at Burelson in September hosted by Madam Boomer, looking forward to it.

Our First Campout

Here is our first Campout. We had it in June at Schulenberg RV Park in Schulenberg, Texas. As always when ever Boomers get together there will be a Great time. Plenty of Fun, Games and of course Great food and plenty of it.

First Post to our Blog
