Arrived Jackson Center

Vintage Thunder is home again. Back in Jackson Center, where it all began...

OK, technically Vintage Thunder was born in Versailles, OH, in a separate factory operated just for Argosies. But that factory doesn't exist anymore, so this is as close to a homecoming as any Argosy can get.

We're parked between the only Airstream Class C motorhome in existence, owned by our good friends the Maffeis (who are not here at the moment), and the 30-foot Safari that will soon be our home for the next six or seven months. We took a peek inside the 30-footer and checked the systems. All the crucial systems have been checked by Airstream already, but we sniffed around and made a list of things we want to do as we move in later this week. First thing is to do some cleaning -- this was a demonstrator unit and it shows a little wear. Then we'll migrate over, with completion hopefully by the end of the week.

Vintage Thunder's new owner is expected on Monday morning. We'll be ready for him. This morning before we left Lou & Larry's house, Larry helped me remove the vinyl graphics with a heat gun. That was pretty easy. The only graphics left now are the AIRSTREAM LIFE logo on the front and rear domes. Otherwise, it's just an "ordinary" blue-green Argosy ...

Gotta run. Our neighbors have gone out for pizza and they are back with two pies to share. If I don't hurry Emma will eat all the pepperoni.
