I left Tucson at 3AM and got to West Covina about 9AM. I had to take some things back to Pam's old office in MDR and that little trip took 2 hours (about 35 miles). I love LA!!
Got to Kaiser Sunset and spent 45 mins trying to find parking (6'6" clearance in the structure). Saw the spine doc and got good news and headed for Ventura County at 2PM.
Got to the Nard around 3:30 and headed to Tom Tierra's. Enjoyed a Channel Islands Amber with his wife and him. They're headed for Baja tomorrow Saturday. I wish I was!! Tommy gave me a case of Channel Islands Amber. I should go there more often. Stopped by the old neighborhood to say hi and headed over to a buddys house to put the Aux Batt and new Screen Door in.
The Batt took about an hour and the door even less. Like Ben said it was a piece of cake and fit perfectly.
Left Ventura at 5 AM and stopped in La Quinta near Indio to meet with Les Bourne and his wife Virginia (lqhikers) If you are impressed with his rig and welding abilities you shoud see it in person. Man this guy does nice work and has some great ideas. I took a lot of pix of the rail bike rig and Les was nice enought to give me a measured drawing.
I headed for home about 10:30 and just after I crossed into AZ I decided to try the Norcold. I put it on DC and by the time I got home (3 hours or so) it was about 80 degrees in there. Ambient tem was 105 but it doesnt inspire great confidence. Les has a Engel 2way and swears by it. So do a lot of guys in Saline. This baby may be destined for Ebay. Too bad its almost brand new.
