Armstrong Kicks the bucket...... RIP

I left at 7:30 PM on Thursday on a thousand mile journey, stopped at about 11:00 that night, and when we woke up the Armstrong was no more. After 47 years of service it succumbed to a seized compressor.

We stopped and picked up a Coleman Mark III in Fort Worth, and installed it after reaching our destination at 11:30 PM, and in bed at 2:30 AM... 31 hours in the books..
