My battery charger started working again but I have another one on order just incase it's on it's last leg.
I was going to replace the pool pump today but I can't find my thread tape. Got some out of my tool box at work and was pretty sure I put it in the truck, but now I can't find it.
I replaced the headlight ballast on the caddy headlight today and now I have 2 headlights again!!

I had an interesting Monday. First we took Debra wedding dress to tailor to be told he could not do it. Went to David's in Columbus, what a waste that was.
I have the motor out of the old truck sold. Was going to take the truck to him to pull the motor. Instead of using chains I used a strap for tiedowns. Hit a hard bump truck shifted one tire off trailer. Use floor, bottle jack and come along to get it back on trailer. Had it on the trailer and trying to get centered. Had the bottle jack under pitman arm and floor jack under I beam let the bottle jack down no problem. Letting the floor jack down ended up pinning myself between truck and trailer. After we got it back home. Debra insisted I go to ER. Nothing broken just bruised ribs and strained muscles in shoulder.

Sold the black truck yesterday. The guy that was going to buy just the doors ended up buying the whole body. Took it to the guy that bought the motor for him to pull. The only thing left to sell is the the transmission.
Went Thursday and had shoulder xrayed since they did not do it in the ER yea nothing broken. Got 3 cortizone shots to the left shoulder. That was the shoulder next to the trailer. Still in a good bit of pain. Actually taking pain meds.
The camper is ready from the warranty work. Pick it up Monday.
Monday since it will be rainging again will start on the bath rooms.

You go Hugh!
The pool pump worked great for about 3 hours then an old connector broke off, freking old plastic. Now I have to try and get the broken piece out with messing up the threads inside the new pump. Could not figure out why the battery kept dying in the golf cart. Went to put something in basement last night and saw the underglow LEDs were on low, could not see it with the sun out. The new battery charger has an equalize feature so hopefully the battery will charge up and be good. I detailed the Hummer and the Caddy.
