Sunday at Red Bay, AL

Today was an easy going day for all of us.   We just visited until late morning and then the guys decided to start a project.  We went into Russellville to buy some of the supplies needed and then the guys got to work.  They are installing a 50 amp plug so that the Search Protector can be plugged inside the bay on Our Coach.  Manuel is removing the 50 amp wiring.   George is watching.
