November 2019 Chat Thread
What in the world happened to fall? It's seems to have gone straight to winter.
Cleaning the heater core enclosure on the dodge made a big difference in the heat working correctly. I still can't get the motorhome water pump to pick up the antifreeze to run thru the water lines. I blew them out with air so there is some protection. I did get the 3 point hitch to work on the tractor, had to bleed some air out of the hydraulic pump. Thinking of taking it to work and working on it over the winter, especially the brakes.

I ordered some clips for the gutters to hang christmas lights around the house. We wanted to decorate for little man.
I ordered a new rear bumper for the dodge. Tired of looking at that mangled thing on the back of the truck.
Bought the wifi plan and small cake for our cruise in September. Thinking of staying in Orlando near Disney Springs and then driving over to Port Canaveral for the cruise.
The pool valve repair kit came in yesterday and I will repair that tonight.

I fixed the pool pump valve. The seal was worn but there was a leaf caught in there and that's what was letting the water leak out.
I got my new tire pressure sensor in the mail today to replace the one on the motorhome that broke on our trip.
Now I just need to figure out why the motorhome won't pull up the water line antifreeze out of the tank.
Suppose to be a big cold snap on tuesday and I have to get that thing winterized this weekend.
I cleaned the sun faded plastic pieces on the back of the dodge today and then repainted them in black. The new rear bumper arrives tomorrow and hope to get it mounted. It's going to be nice to have that messed up bumper finally gone.

Trying to get stuff done so I can work on the 79 soon. I just could not live with that bent bumper any longer. It looks funny because they have a 3 inch body lift but not for the bumper. We will try and fabricate some new ones later on at the shop.

I have to stay late and wait for my driver to get back from picking up a generator from another store. Worst part is it's friday and I don't have to work tomorrow.
You should have no problems towing with that beast.
Going to be a cold night tonight and even colder on tuesday. I think we just skipped past fall all together and went straight to winter.
