Good morning Gang. I am rarely the first one to say good morning. Maybe the weekend once in a while when I CAN sleep in but can't...

End of an era for me today. Drained the water bed that I've had since 1981 and put a regular mattress in. It's been in the spare bedroom and not really being used for a few years, since da wife had back surgery. And the heater quit working a few months back. My MIL is coming for the weekend for my wife's grandson's graduation. (<--That's a keyboard full right there) I don't believe a 92 year old woman wants to sleep in a water bed anyway. Still makes me a little sad since the bed was my high school shop project.



Free queen size water bed mattress available. About 4 years old.
over rated but still necessary. Bed looks comfy. I could go for a nap.

That stinks

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

After I backed it in I thought I heard something and looked in back and there was water running in like crazy. Turns out the rubber boot where the shift cable goes through was cracked and tore letting water in. Cheap enough fix and shouldn't be too hard I don't think to replace. So that part will be here tomorrow. Still went to the lake yesterday and just hung out and then did some landscaping last night at home when we got back home.
Well at least you caught it before you had it off the trailer...
