    And Jim, if you want practice backing up that bad boy, you know where my driveway is.

    Default Bench Buffing Wheel

    I checked Craig's list in Palm Beach County for you and found this bench polisher. I'd make a lower offer but if you want to polish your wiper's then you'll need something like this. Probabley a bit heaveier duty then you need. Might be some others there but I came up with this example. You could also use it to polish rivets if you even need to change body panels and you could put a grinding wheel on one side. I have one in my shop and use it all the time.

    Thumbs up

    Tuga, have no fear, I've been there before, but in a pickup, and had no trouble except I used 4 wheel drive

    Jon, we're trying to get there but everything seems to be blocking it.

    I will have to let you last minute, and if it doesn't work then, what will be will be.

    Sorry if this is in the wrong post, but they parked someone close to us and it blocks the WIFI. I am sitting in the middle of the parking lot in a lawn chair, and trying yo use the computer.

    Spent the day traveling around Ft Worth and visited the Prevo dealer closer to Dalas. Picked up the wiper blades for the 23.59 ea as Brian said.

    Saw the old stockyard area and walked around some of the shops. Didn't buy anything and that was good.

    When we left the bus for the day we expected to come back and find it ready to go, but no luck there. The mechanic didn't come until 7:00 PM with the part, a new DDEC IV. I previously had a DDEC III. He said you can not get the III any longer and the IV is better. It took him about 10 min. to put it in with a pit and an air powered ratchet wrench.
    Before he started he read all the parameters of the old unit and recorded them and then after the new installation compared the new ones to the old to be sure they were the same.
    ( This mechanic used a computer with a program for reading and changing the way the DDEC performed. He said that it was better than the reader the guy had yesterday, because the reader only reads and does not allow changes. He wanted to know what I wanted for HP, I stayed with 470. He wanted to know what I wanted for the cruise control limit, 75 mph, I said no 70 was high enough.)
    They were, and he said it is usually plug and play, but occasionally some tweaking is required. After a test drive it was determined that the engine was operating fine and up to specs. It was however apparent that there was something wrong with the Pro Driver. He said he had one back at his office and would send it to me and that it is also plug and play.

    Yankee, don't get these guys going. You have no clue how they can bling up a coach until you give them some type of incentive, such as a challenge.

    How do you think the King got his name?
    LOL, spinners on a COACH!! This is too funny, I can't even visualize it, too crazy. Anyone got pictues? I'd love to see it.

    Jim is up at Deb and Eric's. Tomorrow he may get to drive his new ride over the pit. I'll let Jim share the joys and sorrows of new coach ownership.

    It's like drinking from a fire hose.

    Jim has arrived at our house, with full police escort into town. Well, not really. I drove my Honda Accord in front of him. I didn't see any police.

    Jim is plugged in to our Jamestown Advanced Products camp electrical box. Showed Jim our house. Then to El Rey Mexican Restaurant for dinner. Since it was my forty-ninth birthday couple days back, the waiters put a pink sombrero on my head and then smashed a cream pie in my face (a local tradition, don't ask). Then they take my picture and post it on the wall. Then they give me free fried ice cream for dessert. We resisted the urge to tell them that it was Jim's birthday. Not sure what he would have thought about pie smashed into his face visiting our small town.

    For my birthday, sweet Deb got me Fluke Model 62 Infrared Thermometer. Now she will teach me how to use it, maybe, if I'm lucky. Maybe, if I'm luckier, she'll check whatever it is you're supposed to check with those things.

    Tomorrow we have Jim C. pull his bus in over the pit. He's reading manuals now, I believe.

    Happy night to all.

    P.S. Does anyone have a used drum set that they're done with that we might buy for our budding musician son Jay?
