Thanks for the kind words, Pete! With the shifter issue and the tire inflation debacle I created, I've been feeling pretty "stoopid" lately. I have half jokingly blamed a lot of my "comprehension issues" on my damaged brain (I really am brain damaged - that's no joke), but as Ron White (my favorite comedian) says, "You can't fix stupid." I've been driving intercity buses and bus conversions since 1980, but have never dealt with the sheer systemic and component level complexity that exists on my Prevost XLV. The old Eagle passenger coaches and entertainer conversions that I owned or drove were very simple in comparison to today's Prevost conversions - plus I always had a trusted local service facility to take care of any issues outside of my comfort zone (Bluebonnet RV and Bus Service - Rosenburg, TX). The owners, Phil & Cindy Howell, ran a fleet of Eagle entertainer coaches of their own and had a mechanic on staff, "Slick", who knew the Eagle buses like the back of his hand! They always kept my Eagles in tip-top shape and taught me tons about them along the way.

Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of relationship here in Georgia yet and with my disability/mobility issues - it keeps me from "digging in" hands-on with things that I would have tackled in a heartbeat in my prior life.

Now, I depend alot on the POG braintrust to point me in the right direction when questions/issues arise and I'm continually in awe of the collective knowledge and generosity here! I do listen to you guys, even when you "take me to task"!
