New Running Gear for MoMance

We got to San Antonio TX Sunday afternoon, rode the city bus downtown and took a stroll along the riverwalk. We ate at an one of the hundreds of restaraunts there then spent about an hour at the dueling piano bar "Howl at the Moon". Even though at 7:30 on Sunday night there were only about six people in the joint the piano players were still asking for requests, so you know I made one. What I found out is, out of three piano players not one new how to play Bumble Boogie. Anybody can play an Elton John song, only real piano players know Bumble Boogie by B. Bumble and the Stingers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvGNBTosRAs"

We had a great evening and got home early.

Yesterday morning we had an appointment with Southwest Wheel to do some work on MoMance. They converted the brake system from electric drum to electric/hydraulic disc. While they were doing that we had them replace all the leaf springs and shocks. Now we have all new brakes, bearings, springs, and shocks and figure we are good for the next 100,000 miles. One guy, Reuben, started the job, at about lunch time when I could tell he wouldn't get done I told him we would be getting a motel. He said he had things to do the next day and had to get done so he had recruited two other guys to help him. All three of them were humped up like cut worms all afternoon to get done by 5:00. They made it so we were home again last night.

We spent the night just a couple of miles down the road. Will be easing our way west today, getting the brakes broke in and checking for boogers.
