Found out Ursula was in worse shape than I thought. She found a new home already AS - IS. Had her on The List, went in & changed the ad. Dropped the price & less than ½ hour later, had a message with a cash offer close enough. Some kid showed up about ½ hour after that & laid the cash in my hand.Told him what was wrong & he had a tow company come out later with a roll back & haul her off. The head was messed up & my niece's " new " injectors weren't as new as I thought. Would have taken me more to fix her than I could have gotten for her. Forgot to tell him about . I'll have to send him a message.

Most likely a good hunk will pay this month's mortgage. Have enough in the bank right now, but IF ( I'm hoping NOT ) the rear main is leaking on the Eagle, that will go for the kit to put the 360 in & pay for shipping that 360 here. As much, if not a little cheaper & then I can sell the 258 to somebody else.

Too bad that wouldn't have fit in an F150. Would've been able to get Ursula running better before she left.

Hey everyone - Y'all enjoying this weather or what?

I've finally got a chance to bring the Kodiak out of hibernation and make a few repairs/modifications before our first trip in a couple weeks. I've added a second group 24 battery to the tongue so I can boondock this spring without worrying about running the battery down with the heater. I've also fixed a ground issue with the auto-ignition on the water heater so the wifey can wash her hair. Flushed the anti-freeze out of the water lines and have no water line damage from the winter.

Life's good...

Ches, USAA for the insurance company. Hello to all, well my NY trip ended up with me going direct to Orlando for the rest of the week. Then home for 2 days, then Alabama for 3, I am now back on good ol Missouri soil.

Anybody know where February went? Hired on with the Alabama company and should be hiring on with the NY company also, so lots of traveling in the future?

One truck still on the sale list, should go soon, if not no big deal, Penny likes it. And wants it for a D driver. Today was awesome outside, give me another!!!!!
