My wife slept all day Friday and slept till 2 yesterday. I think she is finally feeling somewhat better. I finally got my 3/8' impact replaced at Lowes yesterday after 3 trips to the store trying to exchange it. I missed using that thing at work. I ordered the 2 replacement shrouds for the motorhome and they should be here by the end of the week. Next month I am going to fix the 4 wheel drive in the Dodge. I am going to order the pull handle to engage the axles and get rid of the vacuum stuff.

The dash AC and the cruise control in the motorhome did not work when we bought it. I found a blown fuse and 2 lbs of freon later I got that blowing cold air again!! I still don't know why the cruise doesn't work but not sure I would really use it anyway. The new AC shrouds should be in by the weekend and I can get those installed. I detailed the lightning yesterday morning before everyone got up and she is looking really sharp. I think I am going to drive it to work a day or two this week.

No on the show, I just need to keep it washed and waxed.I have been side tracked on car cleaning lately.
My AC covers for the motorhome should arrive on Wednesday along with the correct brake pads for the mom in-laws SUV.
I won a 100 dollar Walmart gift card yesterday at work for getting my blood pressure taken!!

I was researching how hard maintenance would be on that car. The Bimbo brake pad replacement is pretty straight forward but you have to have a special scanner to reset the oil change light. I have a cheapy code reader but it won't reset the maintenance light. The scanners are running about 250 dollars but It also reads all the codes, body, engine, abs, ac. The good thing is I can buy it at work and put it on my tool account and make small monthly payments.

The neighbor down the street is building a new shop right now and says we can build me one but it will have to be next year. Car payment is the same or less so I love USAA. No change in retirement plans and I have a wife that is much happier so worth it.
