I'm back!

9 year old Computer went and had to get a new one. Plus I been sick for the last 2 weeks.
Got new computer and just about finished getting everything onto it. As far as I can see managed to have everything I saved in the old one now put in new one. Thanks to the IT guys at work doing it for a cup of Tim's
Still sitting here barking with a cold but worst is over. Last week was first week back to work. Dr said I was on the verge of getting phemonia? So put me on antibiotics.
So I missed seeing another etruck in Brandon ads. I see I got lots of reading to do.
Today have to work on wiring on the 92 truck. Right when I plug my trailer in the trailer brakes stay on. Back up the truck and the marker lights on the trailer come on. Turn right signals on and get left signals on trailer. So need to get that sorted on the truck.
So I'm alive, not 100% well yet, but I'm back.

Whatever it was. It started like a stomach flu and then a head cold that worked back into my chest.
By the time I went to the Dr. I could hardly breathe just from a short walk.
Antibiotics and a cortisan inhaler to help open airways.
I'm feeling better, just trying not to overdo it. Still need to rest the body.
I still have a tickle in the throat that keeps me coughing.

I hope your boy is all better now. He probally will rebound quicker than us older people.

I`m glad to hear your getting better since summer colds really suck, especially in this heat we`ve had.

Yeah that really bites. Two weekends stuck in the house and nice weather outside and I too sick to do anything.
Today I'm coughing again, but I think that is from laying on the ground fixing the trucks wires at the back end.
Got all the wires working to the proper lights and connectors now. Tomorrow will hook it back to the trailer and start checking them out. Also inspect my brakes on the trailer since they got stuck on while towing. Had to disconnect all power to trailer to tow it.

I take it this is on the 92 F250. How hard was it to get the trailer wiring fixed?
We`ll have to go after Nathan for warranty........

I'm going to tackle that tomorrow. To be sure the truck and trailer wires will work together.
Hopefully this will solve the trailer wirng problem on the truck and trailer.
I need the trailer next weekend to move a large garden shed. Later to move my mother back to White Fox from saskatoon.
I still have those summer projects to get done here. The farmers Alamanac is forcasting a harsh winter for us. So I need to finish my roof and put the screen door on the back of the house and finish skirting in under my Diningroom window.
Then there is the winterizing the vehicles. Tires oil changes, etc etc.

Well got the wiring all fixed. Just have to put everything back together. Also replace a couple side marker lights that got broke. Brakes seem fine after their episode of locking on.
Glad it is fixed and wires work. I have a few trailing jobs the next few weekend.
I may have to go to Leroy Sask to pick up a 61 Valiant car for myself.
