I arrived in Detroit on Saturday to visit family and friends as well as celebrate Mom’s 70th birthday!!!
Parked the rig in the drive and immediately began to experience issues with the tranny disconnect on the Durango. Fiddled with it for about an hour and finally gave up. Called AAA for a tow and went to work on getting the RV setup. This is not good.
Dined with my baby sister at Elias Brothers Big Boy. If you have not visited Michigan, this is a good old standby from the days of the drive-in hamburger stand. Not the greatest burger in the world, but I have to have at least one each time I visit. I still remember growing up the time I got to order a Big Boy Combination with fries and a salad, AND a second Big Boy sandwich. I really thought I was hot stuff.
Spent a couple of days visiting with Mom and Dad, then Tamara flew up so we could act like tourists and buzz around town seeing the sites on the weekend. Took her to all of the highlights like the cider mill, Bates Burgers, etc. Took a day out to go visit Greenfield Village. It was cold but absolutely gorgeous outside. We closed the place down.
The Durango cost me another $500 to get it back on the road and this is not Michael’s happy face. The dealer that installed the equipment did not install it properly so that is why I have been having so many issues with it. It took this guy three tries to finally get it fixed so it worked right. I will send the dealer a nice little love letter but I will bet I won’t ever see a penny from them.
