Mor Dearg back home

Got back home on Saturday, was done Friday night but did not hear the phone ring so missed the call. Beside the new clutch parts there was a broken spring. Clutch works much easier now. Just need to get use to the new pressure plate and where it grabs hold.

Went for all you can eat pizza on Friday night. Weekly thing for the park here. Group meets at the local Peter Piper Pizza and enjoys salad and pizza all you can eat. Then there are some drawings for door prizes. First three weeks we went Diane won something. First one was a deck of playing cards (shaped in a circle), then it was a stuffed something that we did not think looked good so she gave it away, the third time was a stuffed sunflower.

Saturday after picking up Mor Dearg, some friends that we meet last year in Q came into our park. After catching up some with them we all went to a musical JAM. Several people come into the park club house and bring their banjo, guitar, keyboard, etc and play music. Not bad for some old non-professional musicians.

Today I started to put seat belts into the back of Mor Dearg so that someone can sit on the jack knife sofa we have in the back as we travel down the road. First I had to empty out the storage space, not only under the sofa but the storage boxes on either side of the cab as well. The sofa was removed to provide working room behind and below where it sits. Then holes were drilled into the floor for mounting the belts. I now need to get two longer bolts as the floor was thicker in a couple of the locations than the provided bolts would go through. I did manage to mount the two shoulder harnesses to the back wall. Will get the bolts in the next day or two, no need to rush things. When done the two outside locations will have shoulder and lap belts and the center position will just be a lap belt.

Tonight with the friends mentioned above we went to a restaurant that serves mexican food. Of course it was closed. So we ended up about 5 miles down the road at another mexican resturant. There must have been something about us because we got our drinks and the order taken just fine but it was over an hour to get our food. Another foursome, right next to us, came in just before we did, got their food and had left before we had our food. After eating we had to signal about three times to get the bill. Can you say little tip for you buddy.
