Ship’s Log - Stardate: 20-15-08-07. Mission Day 75



Big news!  As of this afternoon, we have air conditioning “coach-wide!”  We dropped the coach off at 8 a.m. with the assurance the 2-hour installation of the new air conditioner would be finished by 1 p.m. We got it back at 4:30.  Oh well, at least we’re finally past this ongoing crisis.


Rather than sit around the repair shop we sentenced ourselves to Maxwell’s tight interior and visited the Train Museum here in Elkhart. They have a nice model-train display with lots of detail like a small plane crash on a mountainside, a circus in full swing, and a mock up of Elkhart’s historic downtown. There are four trains dashing around this make-believe landscape, passing each other going in opposite directions and zooming over railroad bridges and mountain tops. We wished we had “rented” a little kid to share this experience. 


Outside were several locomotives and a few train cars.  One of the big steam loco’s looked like it could be operational but a closer examination determined it was pretty well past its prime.  I don’t expect it will ever run again.


Here are a few photos of the trains and the photos of Jim’s new Corvette.  


We’re tired, so that’s it for now
