Jim and I got up fairly early and packed most of the items. I had to get Teri to help me get the stuff in the box arranged so I could get the screws in the door. Jim was busy with buisness, on the telephone, for a few minutes so Teri helped. I could never have got the door screwed back on without her. We got Jim all ready for travel and hooked the van on behind. Hal was leading Jim out when we finished, about 1130. Was glad Hal could help us out. Maybe Jim will follow him to Las Crucez. Did not call to see how far they got.
Teri and I geocached over to Alexandria, La. where we parked for the evening. Will geocache our way to Monroe, La. in the morning. Have plans to hang around there for a week and then head on home to Mo.
The new engine and transmission are both doing fine. With 1700 miles on the engine the oil consumption has really slowed. I was able to stop the heater hose leak. Pulled the clamp and found the hose had been cut under the clamp.
Picked up a timing light from Harry at the convention. Will check the timing in a day or two and get the MSD timing box hooked back up. Got a knock sensor waiting for me at home. Dick Paterson told me to mount the sensor in the motor mount. Makes good sense to me after he explained why.
Was glad to see everyone and we made several new friends. There were over 130 GMC coaches there but I did not get time to look in them. It is more about the owners than the coaches now anyway.
Hope everyone arrives home safely.
