Living life in Joliet, Illinois

We have been here for about three weeks now and had no idea how beautiful the rolling cornfields and pasture land could be!  This place is gorgeous and the people are very friendly.  We are staying at the Sunset Lakes Resort and although it is a little further away from town (any town) the peace and quiet make up for any driving we have to do to get to the store and restaurants.  The owners of the park have been great and really bent over backwards to get us a good internet connection so I could get work done without spending a fortune in data charges to Verizon.
We ordered 4 air bags for the drive wheels and 2 for tags, the tag bags were really pretty shot and needed to be replaced.  The drive bags look ok by but are definitely original so we are going to replace them anyway.  Found a good shop down the road from us and had them change the tag bags.  Found out that I had ordered the incorrect bags for the drive axles so had to reorder and will ship them back next week.  SDTruckSprings.com was great to deal with and I learned a lesson about not trusting what others say the part numbers should be based on the coach they own - I was too lazy to look up the numbers in the Bluebird Black box and it cost me $100 in shipping...
