Going to order the seals for the motorhome potty today,
I also need to pull out the RV clothes washer and figure out what quit working on it. I am pretty sure it's the water pump. I decided to list the boat on craigslist and see if I can sell it. Knocked out a few little things around the house yesterday but nothing exciting.

The wife already started talking about a trip to the beach this year so I need to get started on repairs.
I finally caught the mouse living in the RV!!! The lure of peanut butter was too much for him to resist so that's the end of his vacation.
Good god the price of a water pump for the washing machine is expensive, almost 200 bucks. I need to pull the machine out first and double check before I order one. The toilet seals are not too bad. I still need to reseal the roof. The cost of RVing is expensive but so much fun.

That lumber looks nice and straight.
The weather was nasty yesterday so didn't do anything but hang out with little man, Did take a nap and watched the Clash. I have 6 more mowers to take off the crates this morning and then going to adjust the lift cables. Taking the wife out for Valentines dinner tonight since everywhere will be packed on Thursday.
I hope we don't break down on the highway, I do my best at preventative maintenance to limit that. A tire blow out will be at least 500 bucks.

I had the starter go out in the Winnebago when I was driving it up from south Georgia. Spent the night at the gas station till the flooding rain stopped and we could get a new starter installed. I had the transmission cooling line that attaches to the radiator blow off twice. I also had 2 blow outs. I no longer own that motorhome!!
I got the last of the mowers off the shipping crates. I have the crates folded up and ready for pick up. I adjusted the lift cables on the 2 post lift and got it lifting straight. I also put together 2 toys for the show room, not a stressful day today!

Pushers are even more expensive for road service. Without a service plan one tow could be $750 and up.
Glad you are having non stress days

I am going to get coach-net before we head out on the road again. It's 250 bucks but worth it.. The battery was dead on the Suburban when I was leaving work, I will get another one tomorrow. The wife was heading to town to meet up for dinner so it could not have worked out any better. I bought the wife a new washer and dryer tonight so no new tires for the Dodge this month. Vacation is next month so have to wait till at least April.

Left the house early so I could run by Walmart and pick up a new battery for the Suburban on the way to work.
Went ahead and finished my taxes this morning. Paid in to Federal but get a refund from State, almost equals out in the end.

Finally put the F-350 to work today. Bought a couple of storage units and while coming home pulling the trailer the O/D light started flashing. Going to go to my old shop tomorrow and see if I can pull the codes. I've been thinking about getting a upgraded trans anyway just not this soon. What's ya'lls thoughts?

I have no idea about those transmissions.
The overdrive disengaged light comes on the Dodge if I drive it on the highway for a while. I changed the fluid and filter with no change, I am sure it is going to need to be replaced one of these days. I only use it to run trash to the dump and around the property, so as long as it works right now there is no rush. The wife's new washer and dryer are being delivered tomorrow so I have to move the old ones out tonight.
We got a shipment of lawn tractors in yesterday, so I have something to work on today. The fence people are suppose to be completed by Friday, but we will see. We store all the tractors and mowers in the work bays at night till the fence people finish. I told the boss we have the first Ag-Pro indoor showroom!

No metal or burned smell just acts funny sometimes.
9 more mowers ready to go!! We have had 4 people come in today wanting to know when we were going to be open to bring in mowers to be serviced, had 3 come in last week. I think we are going to be busier than they expected, fine with me!!
