It started with just a few small items........

....... and turned into quite a large punch list. The idea was to replace the boogies, shocks and air bags then
hunt down a leak or two. Things snowball when you're not there and your wife is the office manager of the CO-OP.
NOW they are doing all that, plus placing decking and installing new carpet and walls. I'm also getting the bearings, brakes treatment. Hey, they were
only done just 17 years ago. I have to say that CO-OP's mechanic Katelyn
has it all in good hands. I would put my safety in her hands any day. After all, she was a MARINE CORPS diesel mechanic. Feel lucky that she is
working on my coach.

If I'm lucky, JimB will post pictures on the POSE tomorrow, since I still don't know how to post them.

Got to see the great mechanical work that Kaitlyn is doing and wonderful
interior repair // upgrade job that is being done on ANNIE. After 17 years
of hard use and many miles she really needed this work to keep her in a safe
operating condition. Looking forward to many more miles and smiles to come.

Well JimB just posted pictures and a quick essay on ANNIE. I didn't realize
how much work was needed thinking all was kind of well, but watching and being
part of the investigation it was quite clear. Mechanical stuff and plywood that
is exposed to the elements don't last for ever, regardless of how anal you are on
the maintenance. Especially brakes. Driving her all of the time, your mind over compensates
as the brakes wear down, especially in the 4 rear brakes. All in all, I feel that
ANNIE held up really well and will give us a couple more decades of fun and adventure.

Thanks JimB and all of the crew (both exterior and interior) for a job being WELL done.
