<\/a>In front of the Buddy Holly Center<\/p><\/div>\n
First, again for the GMC folk who might be interested: the fan noise.\u00a0 For the past few days the fan clutch has liked to be on whenever we were driving slowly no matter about any temperature – engine or ambient.\u00a0 It would run for a long time and then finally shut off after we had been driving at highway speed for five or ten minutes.\u00a0 Today, it stayed on almost all the time.\u00a0 We had to resort to wearing foam ear plugs.\u00a0 When we got done with Buddy Holly I went to an AutoZone and bought a medium duty TorqFlo 922747 clutch that crosses to the Hayden 2747 – the “heavy” rather than “severe” duty clutch.\u00a0 I would have bought the Advance Auto 21-5046 recommended by Ray E. but we have no Advance Auto stores in Tucson (that I know of) to exchange it if I need to.<\/p>\n

The Buddy Holly Center has recently moved and is in a really nice building in the middle of town.\u00a0 Unfortunately, they do not allow photos to be taken of any of their exhibits but that is really not a big deal because it is a nice low key exhibit with only a few original items.\u00a0 The reason it is small is that Buddy Holly was a star for only about 18 months before he died on “the day the music died” in January of 1959.\u00a0 During his very short career, however, he had twenty-five hit records and influenced many rock and rollers who came after him.\u00a0 It is even said that the Beatles name was inspired by the name of Buddy Holly’s backup band, the Crickets.<\/p>\n
We again had some good barbeque on highway US-82 on the way here.\u00a0 We stopped at a gas station – there are not very many between Wichita Falls and Lubbock – that also served barbeque and seemed to be pretty popular with the locals.\u00a0 It was good.\u00a0 Just a note for fellow barbeque lovers – Texas barbeque does not seem to include any pork, just beef.<\/p>\n
After the Buddy Holly Center we went to buy the fan clutch and get some more groceries and discovered that Lubbock is a really nice town.\u00a0 The population is over 200 thousand and there are lots of nice stores.\u00a0 I installed the fan clutch after dinner – hoping for the best tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Sept 19th – The title of this post refers to the objective for today which is to visit the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock, Texas and to the fact that the fan noise today almost drove us over the edge.
