Back into action




Sometimes being patience has its pluses. Sometimes its a wonderful thing when other people are more patience than yourself.

I wrote this yesterday just didn't post it till now


Turns out as of my last post that the van is fine. I was hearing pulsing when idling,it was a low rumble but never the less it made me nervous. Spoke to friends ,co workers and at last a mechanic. Lets go back a moment. Yesterday one co worker was telling me about this wonderful stuff called Techron Concentrate Plus from Chevron.  I put it in last night at the rail road, Because of the pulsing I decided not to ride it to work. That would be something if it died along the way. Think of towing!!! Think of the money towing it!! Filled it up with more gas as per say on the bottle. It did feel a little smoother but still it pulsed. This morning I took it to the local gas station and talked to the mechanic and he said the same thing, add some fuel additive because it doesn't sound serious. He said ride it for a couple days to get it real lubed in there. Would you know when I went home from there the pulsing stopped! Ya HOO!!!

This was today's writing. 

Then of course last night it rained. I went out to get something from the van and there I saw the back seat wet. Ugh, When does it stop!
A leak. Not sure if it was because I didn't shut the door right or what. It did snow...snow was on top of van. It did melt and I had no leak. So I am hoping its because I didn't close the door all the way. I tend to do that. I left the front door open the other day and guess what happened...yes it rained and water got on the front seat. I need to remember these things. Last week I left the oil cap off when I added a quart. Nothing happened cause I think the oil goes way down in the van. It was still filled up good.

I wanted to do more but I was very tired this two days off. This is my 1st 2 days off when I was working 6/7 days. So I should have more energy next week. Hope!!!

Almost doesn't count

This the van I tried to get >>>>>> Oh a van! I almost had it. When my job decided to change the way they pay us and of course a lower salary(but not by much)I got insecure and delayed offering a price on it. Now 2 people are egging for it and I am sure(but NOT totally sure)I won't get it. I will find out Monday. The bitchy part about this is that I LIKE it!!!! The body is nice and roomy. Some things have to be done to it like a tune up ,brake pads and etc. But the motor runs smooth and no leaks. Hope!!

Dometic refigerator

I found on Craigslist a used Dometic frig. New it would cost around $450.00 I paid ....drum roll please....clang $50.00!! Clean and well kept. A couple who haven't camped for over a year had it in their garage. Everything works. No smell. Not very big but its perfect for one person. 1.7 cubic ft. I was on Craigslist and just put camping on it and it popped up...wasn't looking for it. I love craigslist!!
This is it....ain't it purty...LOL
