It's not tar, just dirt that stuck to the side when I washed the roof. It comes off I just have to rewash the whole rig again.
As long as major rain holds off until after next Saturday so we can replace that pipe. I am borrowing a backhoe from a friend down the road. I want to do a little extra work with it if he will let me.
Little man and I mowed grass after work til about 8:45, he was asleep on the couch by 9! I was not far behind him.

It took me about 3 hours of scrubbing but I got all the black streaks off the sides of the motorhome. Crud cutter and a soft green scrubby but it looks great,
I am now pressure washing the deck around the pool.
Update: Pressure washed the deck around the pool, sun burned the top of my feet in the process. But the deck looks fantastic!
Our patio furniture around the pool is looking really bad, we decided to get something new. Wife saw some in town last week and is going to go look at them again this week.

Did you have your crocks on so you have leopard feet? I could not handle 3 hours of scrubbing. I end up doing nothing all weekend my arms have started bothering me again. Dr can not find a reason. We had some storms down here today.

I am feeling it this morning, everything hurts. I wore flip flops down to the pool but was bare footed while I was washing, so it's a uniform red across the top. Sorry no leopard feet.By now I usually have a nice flip flop tan line on my feet.
We had a few sprinkles but that was it.

My door shock for the motorhome arrived today, I will put that in tonight. Simple and easy install.
Saturday will be the pipe install, I know I will be dead tired after working on that all day.
The big thing is trying to get everything done on the weekends, I told the wife once I retire I can spread it out during the week instead of rushing all weekend long. If I have to work on a Saturday then it makes it even worse.

It is a lot easier spreading things out. Getting the old pipe will be the hard part. The plastic pipe is easy to move around. Once you get the old pipe out clean up the ditch no rocks. Roll pipe in the ditch cover it up. Just remember nothing but dirt around pipe
Gave up on my pressure washer put the new coil on still no start. There is a guy here in town sells used one .More than likely go new tired of trying to fix junk.

A customer dropped off his commercial zero turn mower on Saturday because he hit a stump and bent one of the blade spindles. While I was writing him up he was talking about upgrading to a bigger new machine. I was half way joking that I would give him 600 bucks cash for his mower if he decided to buy a new one. He called the salesman yesterday and said he would take my offer and he wanted to get a new one! It's a super nice mower he kept out of the weather with 54 inch commercial grade deck. I wasn't really looking for a new mower since I just got the X300 not that long ago but it's a great deal I can't turn down. The lawn mower tech said this will be the last mower I will ever have to buy, they are that good.

I bought it!!
Bought the stuff to do an oil change, I also got a new fuel filter, and new air filter. I had to order a hyd drive belt and some new scalp wheels. Should be ready to take home by Friday. No rush.
Today got a little busy for a while, nice change.

That sucks having to redo the engine.
Stopped by Walmart and picked up 2 adirondack chairs the wife wanted for around the pool, we still have not decided on a patio set yet. I also got some grass seed because I am trying to fill in some bare spots in the lawn.

he is having the mfg do it. They said he need a new block. of course out of warranty. The do that much damage was more than a backfire or weak components. Hotrods and race car are alway a money out type thing.
I started cleaning the fenceline here at the house. Did not do it last year.
