Flat Tire



Talked with Mike last night. Their trip is going smothly, although they have a hard tme getting to internet connections.
The only problem they got into soo far was thier Komatsu motorhome had a flat about an hour into their trip. it was then that mike discovered the behemoth does not come equipped with a jack! (Oh well, he probably wouldn't ave been able to handle it himself anyway). So he called up a buddy with a crane and a few hours later they were back on the road.

One of Pastor Mike's other interests is earth-moving equiptment. In his younger days, he moved many mountains and filled in many valleys. His favorite brand of earth moving equiptment is Komatsu

This summer Mike and his wife are going to Alaska on a 6 week road trip. They bought a motorhome for the trip, and it was only after he plunked down the cash for his wanna-be winnebago that he learned Komatsu made a motorhome.
