The pool filter is still leaking a small amount of water even with the new diver valve gasket installed. I am going to run to Home Depot and get a cut off valve to put in the line. It is for back flushing the filter so putting a valve it off will be no big deal.

I got the motorhome winterized finally. I guess when I blew the lines out with air it exploded the strainer on the pump. I pieced it back together and was able to get the antifreeze into the coach so that's a relief. I have a new strainer on order and it be here on Monday.

Started looking at Hotels to stay in when we go down for the cruise. We are probibly going to stay here: https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnresort..._disfs&srb_u=1 It use to be the old Nickelodeon resort many years ago and it has a huge kids pool play area for little man.

No, I have the web site saved under my RV folder but with me still working and with little man, I just don't know if we would use it enough right now to be worth it. If we did a lot of traveling I would use this: U.S. Military Campgrounds and RV Parks - Home. You going to live in it on your property?

Ok if you were I was going to have you do the referral . Can not live in it out there. However will take it out there when I plan on getting a lot done and just stay out there for a couple of days. Have to either get on of the generator running or get a new one. Do not want to leave it out there.

Ok gotcha !
You have to watch your stuff like a hawk now a days or some low life will rob you blind.
I got the pipe and valve I needed to fix the pool filter last night, we also have a new sink faucet in need to put in.I got in the plastic hangers to hang christmas lights off of the gutters so I might start working on that today too. I have not been real motivated since the time changed back.

A guy brought in a 6x4 Gator for us to look at and give an estimate to repair it, they also bought a new Gator while they were in. They are either going to trade that one in or fix it and keep it. I made an offer to buy it and I am still waiting to see what they say. Would be nice to use around here but not going to be heartbroken if they keep it.

If it goes thru it will a christmas surprise for the wife. I know I will use it, it has an electric dump bed!!
Took the top off the pool filter to try and figure out why it is leaking, I didn't find anything obvious so I put it back together, works like it is supposed to now. Beats me.
Cleaned the yard, cleaned the hot tub, blew some leaves. I have been busy today.

I was deleting pic and found them. Ex is still try to cause problem and the pyscho neighbor was add to it she was calling ex telling her what I was doing. pyscho neighbor did a burnout thru the yard no proof but was not there a couple of days ago. Ex is in hosp she took a bunch of anti depressants duh that attention. Well she getting the attention . Dr s induced 24 hours of sleep before they decide if she go in patient . This is not the first time. at least 3 I know of. Son in law and daughter is keeping me informed. Everyone agrees she need serious longterm help. SIL said brother in law was not good basied on what sister in law said. He has dementia same age as me. Apparently it advancing fast., she is know to greatly expand the facts.

on a better not picked up the camper yesterday . On the walk thru found the sound bar not working (new one on order) the hitch on the truck was too thick for the safety chains . Trip to TSC bout 3 ft of 3 /8 chain ,2 couplers problem solved. They gave me a years subscription to 1000 trails($585.00) 2 nights at Pine Mountain resort, 2 nights at a place in Dillard . 21 nights at travel resorts of America.

Donna had a ear to ear grin all day at the Museum yesterday. She is super excited about us camping. Think it really made her day when I gave her the spare set of keys to the camper. Since we will be camping together make since. Doing the walk thru she did the "rock test" the jacks were not down. She made the comment about how much it moved. Told her we would get the sign for the door "If the trailer is rocking dont come a knocking"

Glad to hear things are going good for you.
I turned the heaters on low inside the motorhome just to make sure I don't have an freeze damage. I pulled my old insulated Army boots out of the closet last night to wear to work, my toes were cold all day yesterday. The heater in the Dodge is ok, still not perfect. I am beginning to think they gave me a 180 thermostat, should be 195. Gauge always shows low temp. which is good for summer not so good for winter! Makes we wonder if the water pump needs to be replaced too.
