Weird Email Disappearances

I have been trying to post before I go to bed at night in California so that the post is waiting on the early risers in the east as it normally is. Tuesday night was too eventful and I did not get Wednesday's post up until mid morning Pacific time which is way late in the east. HERE it is in case you missed it.

Now onto the Weird Email Disappearances.

There have been some strange happenings on the email side of the blog lately. I do not have a complete explanation for them but at least I am not entirely in the dark like I was at first.

Number One, I have about 6-8 email addresses of family members and friends that receive notice the moment a new blog posts. I can put a maximum of 10 addresses in there so only a few folks can be listed. Several days ago that stopped sending at all even though the addresses are still there and the option is still checked. 

I have not been able to get to the bottom of that. I deleted all the addresses and then re-entered them again. I unchecked the option and then chose it again. We will see if that works.

Number Two, every one that signs up as a follower on the blog (That option can be seen on the top right column on your desktop view under the heading "Follow By Email") receives an email every evening letting you know there was a post published that day. There were about 110 that had signed up for that nightly email. 

A few weeks ago that number dropped by over 20 from one day to the next. I suppose it is possible that people can UNfollow but over 20 people in one day? I have heard from some of the people that were dropped and they could not figure out why I dropped them. Since I did not drop them and they did not drop me, evidently it is a Google Blogger thing. I can find no answer for that either.

If you know any one that was following the blog and receiving a nightly email, check with them to make sure they are still getting it. We are posting nearly every day as usual so if they are not getting the nightly email then chances are they were dropped in outer space some where. I guess they will have to sign up again. Help me out with that if you will.

Disappearing followers must be the reason this great blog does not have 10,000 or more followers. That must be it! It is a great conspiracy!

Sorry for the trouble if you were dropped. We certainly appreciate you reading each day.

BoggsMobile at Prevost Mira Loma, California

I have been having an intermittent problem on the BoggsMobile that has been increasing in frequency the last several weeks. It is one of those things that "could" leave me stuck some where so I wanted to get it addressed while we were close to a Prevost shop. We had been to the Prevost shop in Mira Loma before so I emailed them a couple of weeks ago.

I had talked to Jeff Rowe in Tennessee as well and we were pretty sure the problem was a protection valve on one of my air tanks. The bus would not air up to ride height in the morning. After cycling the brakes and causing the air compressor to kick on, we could hear a woooosh as if a valve opened and then the bus would go up. Since all the Norgren valves have been replaced the check valve seemed likely.

We left Bro. Deatherage's mid morning on Monday. They have plenty of room to park but getting in and out their back entrance can be a little tricky depending on where cars are parked on the street. Thankfully we were able to time it just right and there was no one single car on that section of street.

Prevost is only about 11 miles away so we were there, checked in and parked in the back in about 40 minutes. Our appointment was for the second shift and I pulled into the shop a few minutes after 3:00 Monday afternoon.

 I did not get a pictures but the mechanic's name was Jeff. He is originally from Queens, New York and I enjoyed visiting with him. They lifted the BoggsMobile in the air about 4:00.

The folks at Prevost Mira Loma agreed Jeff Rowe's diagnosis and a few hours later the valves were changed. The bus came up normally Monday night after the repair, again Tuesday morning about 7:00 and also a few hours later when we left.

Sometimes only time will tell on things like this but it seems like it is OK now.

Here is the BoggsMobile and the Green Machine shortly before we left Tuesday.

I hope that is all taken care of now. Thank you for checking into the blog and for praying for us.

Revival In Pictures - Bloomington, California

This is a Revival In Pictures post and I believe the pictures start at Sunday night and go backward. I think that is the opposite of what I normally do but I am absolutely amazed at my ability to transpose things sometimes. 

No matter what the order, I sure you will get the picture that we had a wonderful time with Pastor Deatherage, his wife and family and all of his folks. We look forward to going back real soon. May God bless his people for all of their kindness toward us!

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Bro. Deatherage has a women's home next to the church and he has a men's home and branch church in the beautiful community of Lytle Creek. We were blessed to be a part of the service at Lytle Creek Sunday afternoon.
