Wow, 

Eureka was fun, Saw lots of TCBer's - Stayed at the KOA campground. Really 
nice. Did not get there in time to register the bus but then again Bob Perrings 
Bus was setup as the mother-ship I was the taxi. Bob please send me some gas 
money. :) 

Went Fly Fishing in Branson with Bob. I t was great. Beautiful place, Caught 
lots of trout, camped right there at the stream for 2 nights. 

New Dakota Digital CHT gauge. Hit 450 degrees up the hills on 540. Babied the 
bus the whole time and still the head temps were 400 or higher at times. On the 
way home took 16 hours at 50 mph (even less at times) from Branson. This is a 
1600 DP with Pict 34. Might have to think about a Camper Special Engine next 
year (2107 with Dual Carbs) fix that hill problem. might not fix the running 
hot issue but.......... 

Night before leaving I leaned my ipad against the closet after plotting the 
return trip and it slipped in between the closet and the bottom storage bed 
unit. Not getting it out now. I did find my missing pocket knife from 2 years 
ago - it was lying there right next to the ipad. I've heard people finding old 
weed in buses and couldn't connect where they were talking about- I have 
now....... 

Time to clean out the bus and tackle how to get the ipad out without removing 
the interior....... who knows what I might find there. Maybe someone's stash 
from years ago.
