Mini Rally Get Together in Abbotsford BC

[tulipvendor50]

The mini rally went real well.

Both $quanderlodge's made it, Matt, Jacquie, Abigail and Emily in $quanderlodge and Bill Schreurs and Vadie Bond in $quanderlodge II.

Mark Dadson brought his 1970 SP - wow is this an incredible piece of machinery - awesome. (I can understand how Randy feels about his 70).

Martin called and said that he was having battery problems but he would try to make it, unfortunate he did not make it to brunch but did show up, he owns a 81 FC.

Ken Kalmakoff who used to own a 82FC, and actually introduced us to Bluebirds was also there, he tried to pawn some of his items which he still had from his coach, good to see him as well.

Les and Debbie Wiley could not make it due to medical problems, hope all is well with Debbie soon.

Graham and Marjory called and said that they were too busy to attend.

As at each rally, there is never a shortage of things to discuss, and the discussion went on and we all learned a lot.

Vadie took a number of pics and will get them resized so she can post them on here.

Thanks all, it was a wonderful time.

Forgot something, when we got there, there was another bus there, this one was on the back of a flatdeck - heading for the crusher LOL.

First my apologies to Ken. In my last post I mentioned that he was pawning some of his items he had when he owned his coach, actually he was giving them away.

Vadie will post pics of the BBs that were at the rally but here is the one that was not scheduled to be at the rally (pic 1)

The next 4 pics were sent to me by Ken, does anyone know what year this Bluebird might have been?? Was it a skoolie??

A big thank you is owed to Ken Kalmakoff for donating a van load of FC parts to the insanity! Thanks Ken!

So my battery problem was due to a bent spade connector on the 50 amp to 15 amp adaptor I am using to plug the bus into the shop. I didn't notice that it was misaligned and when I pushed it together it bent. So all six batteries were dead when I jumped in on Sunday morning. I am going to piggyback a light into the charger circuit so I can see from the house whether the chargers and heater have power from now on.
