They texted my wife back this morning and said they were in a traffic accident involving a log truck in Rome. If you changed your mind and aren't coming just says so. Being in an accident seems to be the popular excuse, heard it twice so far. I checked the online newspaper and nothing so I think people up here are just crazy.

After going thru all the receipts and thinking of all the work and upgrades I did on it, I am almost sad to sell it. But it will just sit so there is no use on keeping it.

The man showed up and looked it over good for at least an hour, we could find the GVW sticker so he wanted to wait till monday to make sure he could register it in Alabama.

Another guy called as that guy was pulling out of the driveway. So this guy is on his way to come look at it. This guy sounds super excited so maybe I can sell it today.

I noticed this morning the 12 volt interior lights had stopped working on battery power for some reason. Broke out multimeter and the voltages checked out fine so I plugged and unplugged the 110 volts a few times and everything is working fine again.

Sell the motorhome, fix the boat and then start on the 79, I really have to quit getting side tracked.

Good luck with motorhome Chief.

Great news today! The youngest daughter gave birth to a beautiful girl, 6lbs 8oz. Three weeks early, but everything seems to be fine with Mom & daughter. I guess I'm getting old, Layla makes number four. Oh well another day older, but I love em all.

Congratulations Bob!!!

Happy Fathers day to all you fathers and Grand Fathers!!

You mean those 15 dollar an hour McDonalds employees weren't fast? Great customer service died along time ago, it's all about profits now. The Crystals in Cedartown on the other hand is awesome, employees are friendly, service is fast and the food is always hot.

Sold the motorhome yesterday afternoon! I took a little less than I was really wanting but the guy buying it was getting it for a homeless Vet so I'm good with it.

I went for my drug test this morning for the tire place. On the way back home I got a call from a Yancy Brothers recruiter!!!! I pulled over and we talked on the phone for about a hour. She thinks I am a perfect fit for a management position I applied for and is hand carrying my resume to the hiring manager. She was very optimistic that she will find me a position !!! She assured me that any job I got with them paid better than the one I was going to take.

I guess selling the motorhome for a little less to a Vet has gotten me some good karma!!!

Emailed my doctor this morning and asked for a referral to get the shots in my knees again for the arthritis pain. I noticed it was coming back again and it has been 6 months so I am able to another series.

Got my fingers crossed the lady from Yancy Bros calls me today with some good news.
