I figured it was a lot easier to down size later if I need too than get something cramped right now. That's one good size bedroom!

Compared to the master bedroom that would be a closet! Think I am going to take tomorrow off. Not going to risk wrecking on black ice.

Alex I wish I could help but I am not good with carb adjusting.
Nice open floor plan Hugh.
Told the boss I wasn't coming in. I am not brave enough to try the roads.

I want to lean more towards internet buying and the ricer movement.

Took a vacation day since it's the wife's birthday. The wife wants all of us to get a flu shot today. With flu being so bad right now it worries her since little man was in the hospital last year with RSV.

On the way to get them the wife read an article about the flu and it says that 7 in 10 that have the flu had the flu shot first. She decided the odds where not in our favor so we skipped. Decided to limit our exposure to the public and lots of antibacterial wipes and hand hand sanitizer.

The Fed ex guy delivered the base plate for the Hummer yesterday! Wife said he has one heck of a time in the driveway since I have the motorhome right up front. It is kind of in the way but this thing is HUGE! I have an open area away from the trees that I will try and back it into this thing into this weekend.

My story as you know gi are required to get it . 17 years got one got flu. Stopped getting them stopped getting the flu. I get a cold every now and then. Even if I get something usually 2 days in bed, very hot showers and plenty of OJ good. This current one has sucked because of recovering from hip surgery.
Get your wife to help you back the motorhome up. Even with the camera there are blind spots. Either teach her tank marshaling signals or use your cellphones or a comination of both . It is important that she keep an eye on both sides and you can always see her. You may not really need it now but there may be some campgrounds you do need the spotter. If that happens you get all your neighbors wanting to help. Politely decline and tell them wife is your spotter. Remeber your making the payment and have to pay the damage when the willing to help neighbor let you back into something. You may have to have her spot for you pulling out of some spaces. If you hit something with her spotting it will be a long trip home.

Pipes froze Wenesday morning the heater I bought last week our neighbors ended up with it (long story) bought heat tape worked once. 2200 Wenesday night no water agin. Just shut pump off and went to bed. yesterday got up flip breaker pump came on spraying water at the pressure tank line. Took every thing apart brought in the to thaw. Went to put it back together threads were bad on presuure tank checked the ones on the cross they were bad also. Off to lowes last night for pressure tank new cross , some pvc , pipe insulation . Get home hook every thing up had water for about 2 minutes and one pvc conbection failed. So after therapy today back to work on water. Got to re uild part of the pump house this weekend

Stepped out on the porch to smoke and it's sad when 29 degrees doesn't feel bad. Other than rain on Monday it sounds like a nice warm up is coming for the next week or so.

I will get the wife to help me back it into the place I want to park it. It's huge so parking it close to the house on my gravel driveway long term is not a good option. What worries me is parking it on the grass and getting it stuck. I will probibly get some gravel once I get the pad area measured out. The base plates came in for the Hummer but I had to order a drill bit and it's no big rush right now. Going to look at the light kit and see what I might need to mount that. Going to lube latches, see what is going on with the rear heater and see if I can figure out the video set up.

Sounds like you are going to have a productive day.
I got water to the house but there is something funny going on with toilets and bathroom sinks little or no water. I will have a neighbor check under the house for me.

I installed a new wiper motor in the Suburban since it was acting up.

I pulled the cover on the RV furnace bay and found the reason I was getting very little air flow into the motorhome. The screws that hold the duct up that blows the air into the coach had fallen down so very little air was coming in. I had to remove the furnace, fix the duct and then reinstall the furnace. It has real good air flow now. I still can't get the rear furnace to work but I will do some more troubleshooting tomorrow.

I think the cold snap killed the house batteries. I will clean the terminals and check them with my battery tester but I think they are toast.
