New Brakes For The BoggsMobile

As I said the other day, we detoured through Ft. Worth, Texas to have new front brakes put on the BoggsMobile. It was a painful but necessary process. At 232,000 miles, complete replacement of the rotors was premature but as you can see in the pictures below, they were cracked pretty badly.

Evidently the brakes had been very hot at some point in the past. The BoggsMobile had 178,000 miles on it when we bought it so there is no telling where it has been or how it was driven in its past life. Lol! I am very careful to drive nice and easy so hopefully these brakes will last until the Lord comes back.

This was our first visit to Prevost in Ft. Worth but it was a great experience just like it is in Nashville. The Prevost people really know how to run a business and train their employees accordingly. That is unbelievably rare these days and they deserve to be commended for it.

Here are some pictures. I realize some won't be interested in pictures like these but hopefully you can endure it until the next post.

God bless,

Davy

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mothers! May God bless you on your special day.

We would like to especially wish our Mothers a Happy Mother's Day. We love you both very much.

The second is my Mom, Martha Boggs with her beautiful daughters in law.

Happy Mother's Day!

Wrecked Prevost

This is one of the reasons we ask you to pray for us on the road on a regular basis. 

We pulled into the Prevost shop in Ft. Worth Wednesday evening and this is one of the first buses I saw. My heart sank when I saw the front... 

Then my pulse went through the roof when I saw the back...

This could happen so easy. It looks like somebody pulled or swerved in front of him or stopped too quick and he ALMOST stopped in time.  Evidently whatever was following him ALMOST stopped in time as well. 

Yesterday within 15 miles of here in Dallas a gravel truck pulled into the Hwy in front of me. It was a construction zone and I was driving slow but I stood on the brakes to get stopped. 

I thought I was going to eat the back of that trailer and the truth is he probably didn't even know I was back there. He made an easy mistake to make and never realized it.  While I was trying to get stopped or swerve or whatever I was also wondering what was trying to get stopped behind me. 

So pulling in last night, I was thinking, "That could have been us!" Thank God he helped us yesterday and does help us every time we travel. 

Again, that's one of the reasons why I say so often, please pray for us on a regular basis. 

They are working on my front brakes today. I will probably post pictures tomorrow. 

God bless you all and PLEASE PRAY FOR US!
