Hi All: It's been a little news day yesterday. We went to WalMart in the morning, then messed around the home till about 1500 and then drove up to Pete and Edie's in Mercer for dinner. Had a real nice visit with them and Edie prepared a great dinner. Another cousin was supposed to be arriving while we were there, but they were late in getting there, so we didn't wait till they arrived. Got home about 8 PM and sat around watching TV till we fell asleep. Pretty slow day. The visit with Pete and Edie was the highlite of the day though. We have made plans to have another visit next Wednesday.

Plan to take the step system apart again today. Hope it is not to wet under there. It rained almost all day yesterday, and looks like it is going to rain some more today. The gear on the motor that is damaged I think I can take it off and replace it upside down and hope that the new undamaged part of the gear will mesh with the other gear and work OK. Seems as there are no parts available to repair these steps. They want to sell me a complete set for $900, and the only thing wrong is a couple gears. Big rip off I think.

The parts place for Workhorse called yesterday and said they found the fuel filter for my rig. Had to give them the serial # and Vehicle Identification Number for the rig for them to find it. They called and said it would cost about $100 and did I want it at that price?? Duh.. Have to have it. Can't understand it costs so much though?? A traveling man in a Motor Home, so they have ya..... Supposed to be here today, But I wouldn't bet the farm on it. He said he gets deliveries on Thursdays if he gets his order in by noon on Wednesday. I told him I wanted the filter at 1130 yesterday. Wouldn't suprise me if I don't see it till next Thursday??? "Stuff Happens"???

No photo's on this blog. Amy is falling down on the job. AND not much to take photo's of in the rain I guess...

I'm working on the steps today, and Amy is going to visit with Aunt Beryl today. Will take her there around 1 PM, and I get to keep the car to hopefully get the new fuel filter after 1 PM

Well, keep you fingers crossed for me to get things going today.
