Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 33°, overcast and some periodic showers - either very wet snow or very light rain. Can't seem to make up it's mind.
Going to be an interesting day. Have to get ready to make a trip to Sheridan, call the IRS, order a snowblower and look / research further into UTV's with a cab, heater and snow plow. Hoping to find a 2024 model close out sale or a used one.
Talked to a couple of dealers in Bend on Saturday and they had no used ones like what I'm looking for. Both said that when they take a used one in on trade, they generally are sent straight to auction because they are pretty well used up. From pictures I've seen on Craigs List and Market Place, I can believe that!
What did you break?
Our extended warranty on the camper, the first one we have every put the money out on, is a PIA. It has been a craps shoot as to whether they pay out or not. I think we are at the breakeven point, but not by much.

Morning all. Chilly this morning.
The vent over the bathroom is leaking. I'm not sure what type of sealant was used but at 2 years, it's garbage. Looked fine this spring but it's now all cracked and black looking. The stuff the dealer used to fix some gaps when they did the PDI is still white. The drain on one side of the kitchen sink has sheared off and I have a cabinet door that is warped and separating. The leak is the worst thing. Last RV that had a similar leak needed an entire new roof. awesome.... The day I came home to work I grabbed some plastic and covered the vent and held the plastic down with some firewood. Classy but it worked.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 26 and overcast. Not much more than a dusting in the line of new snow.
Road trip to the Valley and Alpha this morning.
