good morning all
7 degrees out now going up to 29 in sunshine today
no plans other than brother coming over this morning to sit down with me
and do my first turbotax together.
later today might drive down to rv storage and brush snow off the solar panel

dealership called, said yes they recommend changing spark plugs at 68k miles, 476 bucks to replace six
spark plugs. ok... (my rv guy charged me less to replace ten on rv, no surprise...)
but they wanted 200 a wheel to derash, no, that's too much for four wheels. Amazon has a DIY kit for 35 bucks
I might try.
they also said front wheel bearings were lubed for life. ok....
they will change all the differential fluids.
but the very best news they gave me was my truck had the cam phasers replaced under warranty in 2022, which did not
show up on carfax. If I had known that....I would not have bought the extended warranty. oh well, still worth it since I'm going to tow
with this truck.

selling dealer told me sunroof was broken and gave me a We Owe. Ford dealer said the tracks have to be replaced, so looks like they have to take the whole thing out and rebuild it. That won't be cheap and hope it doesn't leak. I never ever use a sun roof but important it work.

some Southern cities have had first in lifetime snows. Snow in New Orleans!

Coffee is done brewing. 15° with snow this morning. Heading to 25° with clouds and snow. Went neighbor to get a haircut yesterday. That was it for the day. I think that should make it a conserve energy day. Off to grocery shopping in the morning. Need to cleanup up latest collection of snow.Then back to shop for some more machining of parts for pin attachment.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning, cold but it is about to get better

Up too early due the cramps. Not enough water yesterday

Wife was in bad shape yesterday. She took her weekly Methrotrexate meds so hopefully better today

Morning all!
Currently 9 above going to 26 and sunny.

Found a leaking water line in the basement again. This is a recuring thing here. Something in the water eats thru the copper. Slowly changing things to plastic.
3/4 line is to big for me to work on so called the plumber. He will be here this morning.

Finally got some news from the insurance co. They are actually going to send us a check for an amount better than we thought! Hopefully this will happen soon.

Conserved energy yesterday! Except for keeping the pellet hopper full. Have a few errands to run today after the plumber leaves.
One day closer to spring!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
