I thought she had it when you retired. I got down to the shop to work on the Mazda. Got the valve cover gasket done and got the intake air ducts back on. I still hard to start and stumbles. My friend had me pull it in the shop so he could look at it. He put his fuel presuure gague on it zero. So pulled the bed is back off pulled the pump. The sock was clogged with rust already and the pump was not acting right. So I am going order a tank and pump from our faviorte on line store . 160 for tank pump, sock, another new filter. I could warranty the pump out but hesitant to ship something that has been in gas and could have gas in it.

I started at Yancey 2 years ago next month so it has been 2 years. She had a picture of the truck show up on a timeline on her facebook and it said you took this picture 2 years ago. Little man rode with me on the tractor for a little while yesterday when I mowed grass, that boy had a smile from ear to ear!! He loves to ride on the tractor and 4 wheeler. Going to try and take the motorhome out for a little ride this weekend to stretch her legs, I don't like it just sitting for long periods of time too. She needs a little more than just the little bit I move her around the yard. Sorry to hear about the fuel issue but I feel you on that one.

Door speakers are in! I also checked and filled the diff's and the transfer case. The output seal is the wrong one so I have to wait till I get the right one. I have to remove the alternator to install the thermostat so that's on hold till later on today. I am going to trim some trees and move a chicken pen for the boss lady before it rains, just checked radar and it won't be long.

Trimmed the tree for the wife and I cut down 2 , one was at the end of the drive and made it a real pain to turn back into the driveway to the house with the motorhome. Took the motorhome out for a little spin to keep everything lubed up. I love driving that thing. The front TV does have enough sound to hear it over the road noise but I will still either install a sound bar or make it play thru the radio.

We went out to the land yesterday and measured tree diamaters. I should have enough hickory for the floors. Spent today drawing the floor on the computer. Should have enough oak for walls. May do the basement in pine vs sheetrock.
If my helper is off Tuesday we are going to go and drop the hickory. I got to bushhog first.
Jeep is get 25 + mpg

25+ is great on gas. Cleaned the coils on the heat pump yesterday and found a broken air tube under the house. The AC seems to be working a whole lot better now. I bought a 20 inch shop fan from tractor supply yesterday and it works great. I did not get everything done I wanted too this weekend but I got pretty close. The wife and daughter want to take the boat to the lake next weekend.

It wasn't acting up, I just had a very air conditioned basement !
I told the wife I guess the motorhome is road trip worthy since everyone but me fell asleep during the ride yesterday. She said she maybe able to sleep in the rear bed but it would have to be on a long straight road, not the winding roads we first took. She said a beach trip was necessary when the mom in-law got back from visiting!!

The A/C guy will be here between 1 and 3. It been acting up off and on since May, I got to thinking about it may be wiring vs transform. The most common cause is transformer. You have to pull the front cover to get to it. A 3amp dc fuse will take the whole system down.
Going to take Lexie somewhere for our 35th in April. Maybe just a weekend to Tybee. Unless I can find a cheap cruise

We plan on a long weekend probibly at the beach towards the end of summer. I was thinking a quick trip to Disney or the holiday parades and lights but almost cheaper to stay longer so I put that off till next year. Still want to have little man get his first hair cut at Disney and get the special ears.

Hump day is here!!
80 bucks is good and cheap to have the AC working again. I have not done anything so far after work this week other than take little man swimming on Monday, we played in the yard yesterday.
