yes it is. before i leave work I scrub like crazy to get off anything I have on, because I know I dont want to take a 40 minute shower at home to get it off
Hes getting better, just had a really bad spasm when he was doing something he shouldnt have been doing and I told him Id do it. But he did it anyway.
No i dont. It was for the house, he brought some tools, and I had some. Set up some body stands and made some tables, cut what we needed for everything. Im fairly happy the way it turned out. Now I need to go back and add details and give it a second good coat of paint.
Working on your house is sometimes fun, sometimes not so much.
Didn't drive the Motorhome back home today. I don't think the dash air is going to work without some major repairs. The roof AC's cool it down enough so I'm not going to mess with it anymore. I did get the slide out cover on and the new digital thermostat installed. I am going to try and put up the Jack antenna on tomorrow. It got busy today so I never got a chance to try to install it.
I stared on the parts truck today. Got the tranny, pedals, steering column floor pan out. Pulled the P/S pump I need the bracket. Drop the fuel tank just in case it goes to the scrap yard. Listed it on CL and FB marketplace. for 300 they get it of my trailer. It does not sell I pull the rear springs and scrap it. The main spring are 10 leaf with I think 8 leaf helpers. I think 4 k #
I know you will be glad to have your truck going again.
Not feeling it today, it would be a do nothing day if I didn't have to go to work.
The wife was talking to her mom on the phone and she said we were almost back to Cave Spring, little man was listening and got confused. He was thinking Disney Springs. He said I want to go, I'm excited, are you excited? The wife and I looked at each other in confusion and said yes we are excited. We drove into town and I said we are in Cave Spring, he started crying and was saying I want to go to Cave Spring. It took us a few minutes to realize he had them confused and try to calm him down. My wife said OMG I have two of them crazy about Orlando. I love that boy!!
I have found I have far too many do nothing days here lately. I listed the parts truck last night for what I got in it . If it sells I have the cost of of clutch kit if it needs it and any driveshaft work I may need in it. Couple people interested from FB. CL is the the scammers. Yes I tell them about FTE and us..
Off to the VA for a 5 minute appoint that will take 2 hours to get there and at least an hour waiting on dr. oh well they pay me for travel.
Yesterday I worked on the dash AC. The AC compressor would not come on, check the Freon level, empty. Pull a vacuum and there is a small leak somewhere as you can see it slowly loosing vacuum. Put some Freon in just to see if we can get the AC pump to come on, nothing. I recovered the system and pulled a vacuum on it before I left yesterday.
This morning I come in and it still has a 30 lb vacuum on the system. Now I am scratching my head. Last summer it was full of Freon and the AC pump would come on but the condenser fan wasn't working.
Decided to do a 30 minute vacuum and a leak test. Maybe we can get it working but at this point I'm not holding my breath.
Not on this one, both the high and low switches are inside the AC box under the dash. Too much work to do right now. I am fine with the roof AC's going. Plus I have one of those built in fans that blows right on me.

I should have phrased that better. We made quick set up work tables for the tools and stuff. My chimney is what got a full size shelf, floating shelves and trim, trim work and some demo in the house with drywall. I will post some pics trust me. I still lack the finishing paint touches on the chimney and trim
I don't think he still understands the difference. We always say we are heading home, not we are going to Cave Spring. We still have about 12 weeks till vacation time and then he can get him some Disney Springs time. The loves the volcano they have out front of the Rain forest Cafe'.
I got the Jack antenna installed today and I drove her home. The yard seemed empty without it!! The RV campground closed at 6 so I was not able to fill the LP tank. Shucks...I might have to take another drive to get it filled, it's not an emergency but I wanted it full. The ladies are going dress shopping tomorrow so it's just me and little man most of the day.
Today was productive got my tires back on my truck. Alex came over about 4 the E40d is on the ground, auto column and pedal out. looks like drive shaft is going to be biggest challenge.
They bought a wedding dress and a veil today, very beautiful and less than 500 bucks for both!
Tried taking little man to the movies to see Toy Story 4, He was good until the movie started but he was tired and he ended up throwing a fit,so we just left. Hurt my feelings more than anything.
The neighbors house was broken into on Friday, a cops house no less and it had an alarm system. The wife has been freaking out ever since so I bought her a 9mm pistol today. Shooting lessons are tomorrow.
good deal on dress. I know you are disappointed you did not get to see Toy Story. Unless I take one with me the 9 mm is on one side of the door and the 12 gauge is on the other. She needs to consider getting her carry permit. I need to get something a little lighter for my carry.
