Howdy guys.... Hopefully the end of the rain will come soon... I feel really good about the resealing work I've done on the camper to this point as there are a number of much newer rigs here with tarps pulled over them... I hope mine continues to stay dry...

Good evening everyone!

Hope everyone's having a good day. Plan on squeezing a quick brake job in tomorrow on my wife's van before it gets cold. This is my first(and hopefully LAST) winter in years without an insulated garage.

It's getting a little stale, but its treated me well over the years.

In other news, our daughter Hannah is showing some really concerning symptoms. She's happy and alert, but she has less upper body strength than she has in years, and she can't extend her legs without pain. Her neurosurgeon thinks her spinal cord is tethered or the back of her brain is compressed again. She's had both surgeries a few years ago, one is relatively quick and the other is kind of a Big Deal. They're trying to set up a sedated MRI to check it out, but they may have to admit her to get that done.
Hope it is nothing serious, if it is hopefully it is the lesser of the two

So far so good Randy. The vent temperature difference is noticeable, but of course the real test will be next week.

Good morning guys....

Jay - tell them to make sure that the RZR is moving before they drop the plow blade.. It really raises hell with the belt / clutch to start out with the plow already on the ground..
