The valve I am going to leave out, not mandatory anymore and prone to failure. I will check the date on the LP detector as it should replace after 5 years. I will put a new one in if it's old. They are fairly in expensive and not going to risk putting my family in danger. CW put in a new smoke detector, monoxide detector and fire ext for free when I bought it.

Never got around to messing with the DVD player. It was hard to think about messing with it while I was are freezing my butt off!

I am thinking more along the lines that they just didn't fix the little stuff or they went cheap. Still does not explain as to why they didn't fix the LP to run the stove, the heaters, hot water or fridge. Some people just do weird stuff. Even if I have to put some money into her I am still well below average retail.

The safety manager position came open here at work. I told the boss I was interested in a transfer into that position. He said I would make a great fit and went to go talk to higher. We shall see.

So would stop stop wrenching on the floor? Knew you would get back to managing . We are too old to wrench full-time. my problem would stress. Me and full time stresstess are not compatible

It would get me out of turning wrenches. I have some of the training already so that's a plus but holding my breath.

You are more tha likly the most qualified in the shop. They know you don't want to keep turning wrenches and that you had short term plans when you hired. Since they know you a retired get they can pay you a little less and you may just stick arou longer

There are only a few people that know I had no long term plans. My boss knows I am burnt out on turning wrenches, and exactly like you said knows that it would keep me around longer.

Funny I was telling Lexie what you had done to the motorhome. She goes the big motorhomes were fun but I dont want another one, but after we get the house build if we got another a little one like our first one would be ok. Translation the 40 ft dp were too big but a small class C would be ok at a later date. So I guess another motorhome is in our far future

I probibly could have gotten away with a smaller one. The daughter interviewed for a job at the mall yesterday, The mom in-law will probibly never go camping with us so pretty soon it we be just me, the wife and little man. Motel rooms are so cramped so I wanted the extra space to just stretch out. No luggage to lug back and forth from the room. We stop and I hit the auto levelers, hook up a few lines and done!!! Even with just me the 27 ft winnee it got small on the inside real quick. 3 or 4 of us cooped up inside of anything less than 30ft and no slide because of bad weather or whatever would not have worked out.

When it does come up on the list not even on the back burner at this point. We will probably get another dp if we get a c it will be with slide.

I have a feeling once I stake out the house on the land it will shrink some. Why we need a roughly 275sq ft bedroom I do not know. That does not include the closet
