All the parts came in to fix my lawn tractor but we were way too busy to even think about working on it.
Customers say one of two things, I glad your open because I don't like such and such business working on my stuff, or now I don't have to take it to one of the other Ag-Pro stores that's further away. One older man took his tractor to a different non John deere tractor place 3 times to have them work on it, We went and picked it up and within 15 minutes of looking at it we found the turbo locked up. With what he paid them for pick up and delivery and them working on it could have more than covered the cost of us fixing it.
Went for my ultrasound Wednesday on my guts. One woman did it for about 30 minutes then ended up getting another lady in there. She rolled me around for another 30 minutes, I got the feeling afterwards they could not find what they were supposed to be looking for. Got a little bit of a head start yesterday, mowed the front yard and cleaned the pool. I want to try and get the plastics back on the big 4 wheeler today and wash the Lightning.

welp. On my way back from the hardware store going to get an early lunch at 10, the combo of rain, people and their driving, and my truck with hardly any traction, put a damper on my day. See what the insurance says monday, but I have a feeling my daily will go to a junk yard.

Like Hugh said the truck can be replaced, as long as your OK thats what matters.
Got a ton done over this weekend, probibly a good thing as I am 99 % sure that I will have to work this Saturday. Did some spring cleaning on the inside of the motorhome today, starting to get camping fever. The front AC quit working about 3 months ago when I was doing the monthly load on the generator. I moved the motorhome about 6 feet today and it started working again, crazy.

Only had one pick up and one drop off at work on Saturday so I'm glad I didn't work. I ordered the 2 rear suspension air bags for the Hummer on Saturday. After about 2 or 3 days of sitting the rear end drops down. Could not get the old ford tractor running, 99 percent sure it's a fuel supply issue. I'll try again this weekend to try and get it going.

im fine, my newer ish truck might be a write off. Dont know for sure yet.
The one in my profile pic is okay, but decided to give me mechanical trouble yesterday which I HAD to fix.
Then my cat woke me up throwing up all over.
Then my insurance called and said they are claiming injury.
Im fine, but now Im super stressed. All this, now being down a vehicle, and having insurance blowing my phone up. I need to breathe.... heavy.... but I aint even got that kind of time.

Don't stress over it.
I had someone claim injury in an accident we had, technically they hit me. They changed lanes under a traffic light and my front bumper scratched the whole side of their caddy. We went to court and the judge threw out my charges and dropped their counter suit. It seems everyone is out for free money.

Stubborn like my wife.
The airbags came in for the Hummer yesterday, looks like they won't be too hard to install. I have the wife talked into a golf cart. Our community is cart friendly and we can take it when we go camping at Disney World. .

I not fond of the prep either but have to get one every 3 years. Check with Disney about the golf cart some campgrounds do not allow them.
