Good news and HUH?

The good news is we ran the motorhome up to Callaghan Tire in Bradenton on Wednesday and they put on 8 brand new Michelin X Coach HL Z tires.  They did an awesome job complete with new valve stems and installed our provided DynaBeads in lieu of balancing.  We are big proponents of the beads, an absolutely smooth ride with the beads "magically" always balancing the tire and wheel!  Only drove it 30 miles back to the campground on the new tires but they were smooth and comfortable.  Now the weird thing is we still haven't got the exact numbers on the new tires, the warranty money back from Michelin, other than them saying they will definitely pay the claim based on tread remaining.  We measured the tread, the dealer conversed with Michelin and...........we are still waiting.  Another amazing part of this story is we haven't yet paid anything!  The dealer is quite a gem.  So hopefully we will hear today and put this all to bed.

We got a pleasant surprise that Jason is going to run down and visit for the weekend, I think all he really wants is lobster:-)  We've got another lunch with friend's Jack and Betty today, did a couple of lunches with friends and family the past couple days, and Easter dinner with Ray and April, about 3 more things on our list, and we are off Monday morning!  With tires paid for or not:-)
