Post seminar thanks
Posted by Gary on October 10, 2017 at 3:07 pmAs a newbie to the group, just wanted to thank all those involved in putting on the seminar. The wealth of knowledge was amazing, and I see why everybody travels to ETLC for their service. It was great to meet many of the members for the first time and share stories.
If that alone wasn’t worth the 5hr flight, 4hr car ride and a 3hr time change, meeting Harry was.
Thanks again, have to go, need to get my brake chambers changed

Yes… the seminar was great… love all these members… such a great group and ALWAYS enjoy meeting new members too.
A lot of thought and hard work went into it and we really appreciate it.
There is no end to learning about these machines.. we had a new lesson right before we got home.. well,.. we aren’t home yet but I will share that later probably tomorrow… right now waiting on the repair.
BTW. the Pressure Pro is working as it should and warned us of a low tire which we immediately got fixed… turned out to be the tire valve extension was loose and the pressure was down to 55 psi… Tom..the extensions will be removed when we get home and I can get that little tool !!
Thanks to all for all the hard work from the top dogs and thanks to everyone who attended and made it even more fun.
I wonder if Jeff has been to bed yet? Man he was in high gear !!
I would like to thank everyone that was a part of making it all happen but don’t want to miss anyone… you know who you are and again thanks so much !
Cheers, Larry & Diane

Get that tire inspected Diane. If it was run at low pressure for any distance it could be damaged.

Jon…
Yes the tire will be inspected even though the Pressure Pro didn’t sound the alarm until we cranked up yesterday morning so I’m pretty sure it was fine on the highway yesterday as the Pressure Pro is working properly now. We drove slowly about 3 miles to the tire shop and it was still 55 psi when we got there… it leaked out over night apparently so hopefully it’s okay but will be checked.
Thanks Jon

I too would like to thank one and all for an excellent seminar. I’m not sure from whom I learned the most, the speakers or the incredible fine folks attending the seminar?
To Mark & Gail, Betty & Brett and Gary who I shared a table with for the meetings including breakfast, lunch and dinner, I feel many times blessed! How fortunate I was to get to know you and lean something about you. It’s all about what a get together is all about, the ability to meat and enjoy like minded people. Thanks guys for you help towards a wonderful experience. Meeting you on the highways and byways would be my honor!
The last evening was Pizza night and as I was going through the line right between a pepperoni and cheese and BBQ pizza Jill of Jill & Andy fame, asked me to join them at their table which I did. Also at the table were Kat & Andre’ and we had a great time exchanging yarns, making each other laugh and of course discussing our favorite subject of Prevost!
There were so many people I met and enjoyed during the seminar and I’ll not list everyone for fear of leaving someone out. Suffice it to say I enjoyed and appreciated each one of you! Jimmy asked if we wanted to see his engine and we thought he meant on his bus! Then there was Fred and Buddy ever helpful and friendly And Greg who brought the wine from his Oregon Vineyard and just so many fine folks.
And WoW the stuff we learned… From tires to inspire and tools to make you drool, we had it all. A plethora, a plethora I tell you, of good ideas and information. Even I understood some of it and what I didn’t I was smart enough to find those With answer. If I irritated some by too many questions I apologize. They say there is no such thing as a dumb question but I’m sure I proved that wrong. I thank you for your indulging me!
I’ve prattled on far too long here and I apologize for that I just want all of you to know how much I enjoyed your fellowship!
Oh and my BUS IS BACK HOME… Who’d of thought that.
I’ll leave you with a limerick… I left the seminar trying not to be rude and jumped in my bus and drove home in the nude!

Harry
PS. And Gary, right back at ya!

Jon, Tom, Jeff, Kim, Josh, Allen, Buddy, and Fred;
Thank you very much for the excellent seminar. I cannot express my gratitude enough for all of the hard work and time it took to plan and execute this wonderful event. The speakers were all very informative and I learned quite a bit from all of them.
In addition, there were many great discussions and a lot of fun amongst all of the PC members in attendance which truly made this an outstanding, not to be missed event.
It just doesn’t get any better than this – great people, good food, sharing experiences and knowledge. This was really fun. Thank you very much.

Many Thanks. We just wanted to extend our appreciation for the effort of Tom, Jon, and Jeff with his crew on the Seminar. Special thanks to Mark and Gail for inviting us into their coach, Fred for the use of the flashlight, Gary for sharing the Grand Vista, Mike and Karen for a full timers view, Rick and Vicki for a live aboard vessel view and Harry for…well, you know, being Harry. We enjoyed it immensely and left with a wealth of knowledge

You guys look like you’ve added new stuff to the Seminar. Wish I could have made it.
Did you discuss how to “cage a brake” if necessary? Access is easier on these semi’s on the farm and it seems straight forward, especially since they’ve changed one of the components on the brake chamber, sealing it, to avoid injury.
