There were so many people we were scrambling for chairs. I think it went well and I got a lot of positive feedback.<\/p>\n<p>A nice couple asked me to share their light picnic for lunch so we could talk about how I support myself. I&#8217;m living out of the truck and pretty much subsisting on nuts and apples, so the veggies were a treat. Last night, I was invited by one of the organizers to share his pizza and was also handed a much appreciated beer!<\/p>\n<p>The afternoon was heavy. I did drivetrain maintenance, which was all about belts and hoses and routine maintenance, etc. It went way over time and I didn&#8217;t care it was that good. The teacher knows little about RVs so he asked the audience for input about whether an RV has a whatever compared to a truck and only one person in the room interjected, especially in the bit about batteries&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Up next was RV tires, same teacher, also went over length, and also padded with info by yours truly. I felt really obnoxious but was assured that I most certainly was not as I actually knew what I was talking about and was answering questions. I can&#8217;t believe how much tech and industry knowledge I&#8217;ve picked up over the years. The format of the seminars really do open themselves to discuss, though. They&#8217;re not lectures.<\/p>\n<p>We then had a gourmet buffet dinner. I was very impressed by the spread, especially the tomato salad and the apple streudel. Everyone got a door prize. I was hoping for a tube of Dicor, but got a bookmark. \ud83d\ude42 I donated an ebook as a door prize.<\/p>\n<p>I have one or two more seminars tomorrow and then a meeting about something I&#8217;ve been thinking if doing that could, yet again, spin my life in a different direction&#8230; Whatever time I finish, I went to get some mileage under me. Highway 3 is open, so I am heading home. Jody and Gary are going west, so our paths may intersect. I should be home late Tuesday and can&#8217;t wait to see my cat and my bed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whew, another FULL day!
