I took my TV & had the wheels alignment checked today & they had to realign the front end.
I was talking to the workman & he said a lot of new cars & trucks or out of align when they reach the dealerships. That will make the tires not ware as they should, also the car or truck may not handle as it should. If your tires are wearing odd you should find out why.Remember if life was a book and you do not travel you only read one page

Getting Ready toGo Again
We are getting the trailer & truck ready for out trip to NY by way of the Joyce Myers Convention on Sept. 20 thru 22. All of Wilma’s Sister & one of her nieces are going to meet us there.
Last week we had the wheels bearings on the trailer packed & the brakes checked. One wire was broken on the brakes nothing else was a miss. Sunday Wilma & I went to Radio Shack & bought a CB, (it has all the weather bands on it). A lesson can be learned from that encounter. They had two on display we looked at them & they were not what we wanted. After telling them we saw another one in a RS store in another town, the man said he could look it up on computer & order it if it was carried by RS. He then found they had two more in the back which were not on display. Needless to say one was the one we wanted. So it pays to ask.
Remember if life was a book and you do not travel you only read one page. You also must remember I an old so spelling & wording do not count.

Summary on Hawaii
Summary on Hawaii
It was a great trip, will I go again I do not think so. We have great beaches in Texas and other states I have not visited as yet, and I do not need to fly such long hours to get to one. The Beach Boys were the hi-point of our trip.
Now on Hawaii I believe everyone should see the islands if giving a chance. I was surprised to find the litter on the streets. They have a lot of parks and you see a great number of people running and enjoying them. I have never seen such large shade trees, although most were brought in form other countries. They have great building and are putting up more. It was a great trip and I am very glad I went.

We are getting ready for our next trip. So check back.

Hawaii #3
The day started with Wilma having breakfast with me and then going to work, some people have to do that, just think if she did not, we would not be here.
My tour went to ‘IOLANI PALACE first. They are in the act of restoring the palace at this time, it is an ongoing job. When the monarchy was overthrown they auctioned off all the furnishings, they went all over the world. Slowly some are coming home. Before we could go in we had to put socks over our shoe;: even the guide wore them. No one could touch anything; we were watched all the time. You could not take pictures or even chew gum. It was very interesting, but I was ready to leave at the end of the tour. Next we went to the Bishop Museum, we did not spend much time there, but saw a great use of feathers, they were used to show rank in their culture. I would have liked to have spent more time in there; we also ate there. We then drove through Chinatown but did not stop, that was alright with me. Queen Emma’s summer palace was next; I did not make the walk up the hill; too much standing in `IOLANI PALACE. Our bus driver was the nicest women; she took us up to Punchbowl Cemetery which was not on our list. It is the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, the location is a long-extinct volcano; there are 33,259 soldiers there and 18,094 names of the missing soldiers; the bus was not allowed to stop. The road up to the cemetery has a great view of Honolulu. To end the day Friday Wilma & I had had a date to see the Beach Boys play & yes I have pictures, (if I can get them posted).
Saturday we had breakfast or bunch at the general assembly, also a super speaker. We then started for home at noon.
Will comeback later with a summary of the trip.
