Jammin' in JC: Blues and Barbecue Festival

This evening we went to the Heritage Park in downtown Junction City to check out the blues festival. The barbecue contest is tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m.  We decided not to wait until tomorrow since there's a front coming through tonight and we're afraid the weather will interfere with tomorrow's schedule.


The last blues festival we went to was the Bluesapalooza in Covina over ten years ago. We heard some really good acoustic traditional blues there. Unfortunately, what we heard tonight was electric and hard driving, just not our cup of tea. The audience was large and growing when we left, so clearly the local folks like contemporary and electric blues with lots of rock influence.

Dan and Tony worked on our list today. Dan fixed the furnace problem by replacing the thermostat. That makes at least the third thermostat we've had. We're hoping third time's a charm. Tony fixed up a bunch of our smaller issues and worked some magic in fixing up a slideout skirt that we had managed to bend out (by trapping a bike seat between the skirt and the body by accident when bringing the slide in). Unfortunately, the leak problem is more difficult. The current plan is to put the rig in the "rain booth" on Monday, so we'll see how that goes. It's supposed to rain here this weekend, and I guess the guys are hoping they'll be able to find the leak that way. We'll have the towels out ....

We chatted with the other three couples who are here for the weekend with us. Jim and Suella, like us, are in for service. Two other couples, Paul and Kathy and Stan and Linda are here to pick up new Majestics and waiting for fixes on things that were left off or done wrong (like a missing awning, for example).
