Hopefully!
I think our next trio will be in the motorhome to Orlando for a long weekend and do a water park.
I am going to try and see if I can get the 79 running again this weekend. I have to put in a temp controller in the mom in-laws truck too.

Yay tomorrow is Friday!!
I already mowed the front yard and cleaned the pool so I am a little ahead for the weekend. The water in the pool is warming up but still a little cold for me to go swimming. I want to teach little man how to swim this summer so we can go to a water park in Orlando next year and he can have fun. I am ready for the weekend, might have been a short week but they have kept me busy.

Yesterday was Star Wars day, May the 4th be with you !!
I finished cutting all the grass on the property this morning and installed a new temp control actuator on the mom in-laws SUV. I also added a can of Freon so that should have her fixed up for a while. I noticed she needed new brake rotors and pads on the front before she heads North to visit the other daughter for the summer. I also cleaned the pool and cleaned the Hummer up from our trip. I am going to see whats going on with the 79 and hopefully get it running again tomorrow.

Was a busy weekend. I pulled the battery out of the boat and put it in the 79, I poured a little gas in the carb and she fired right up. She ran for a minute and then died. It has 1/4 of a tank of fuel but it runs out of gas so I must have a bad rubber line or loose clamp somewhere. I was getting ready to troubleshoot the problem when a group of loose cows showed up in our yard. No you can't make this up. So I got side tracked and will try to figure it out next weekend. While she was running she had good oil pressure and that is a relief.

I came in from outside yesterday morning and little man was sitting in my wife's lap watching Mickey mouse. He slide down and told mommy down so she stood up, little man looked at me and said daddy, daddy down and pointed for me to sit in the recliner, I did and he jumped in my lap and went back to watching Mickey mouse.My wife was shocked and walked off to go make breakfast! I just grinned.

When you pack up your stuff write the date on each box. A year from now any boxes still packed need to get gone, because you dont need the stuff that in it,
