Good morning!!!!

[Bird]

Got a question for you Bird,
With your AAA what do they do with these new cars with no spares?
My wife was wanting me to get AAA for her till she saw the price.
Thanks

I have no idea what they would do. I only started with AAA about 14 years ago when we had to move back to town and I decided it might be a good idea for my wife driving on city streets. But I've called AAA twice to come here to the house; once to change a flat tire and once to jump start the car with a dead battery,. But for quite some time now, our homeowners insurance and our auto insurance are with AAA; haven't been able to beat their prices anywhere else.

Thanks, we are going to do without it for now.
My homeowners/farm policy is thru a local co-op, excellent service and decent pricing.

It's supposed to be Winter, ain't it?:confused3: 53 degrees going for a high of 67 today. We're supposed to have some rainy weather the next 3 days. We had steak, taters, and salad yesterday, but my wife suggested chili for today, so since chili always tastes better the second day, after all the flavors have had time to blend together, I made a big pot of chili yesterday for today. I've got to go to physical therapy this morning, and nothing else planned for today.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 19° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 41° with sun early then clouds. Not going to complain about cold when I see Looking has -14° this morning.
After doing some research on top link. I decided to send kit back to Agristore. Ordered a new cylinder with check valve. Will probably sell old one.
Sassy is a happy dog today. Took fence in dining room down and let her have full run of the house.

Wngsprd, Rick may have a bad memory when it comes to heat. I guess your splitter started OK.

Don, giving my dogs a bath got a lot easier when my son showed me a wand he uses to wash his dogs. Not sure Wipper would like it. Waterpik Pet Wand.

Eric, on my motorhome. A battery at 12.0 volts was considered discharged. Not sure you can get the Battery Saver in UK. But it sure works good keeping a battery charged and maintained.

Randy, nice step. I am using the step on my tractor more often. It is on left side of tractor. I walk all the way around instead of taking that big step up on right side.

Bird I had AAA for over 50 years. One year I called to put my Motor Home in storage for a few months. The AAA agent did not do it. Blamed me for not telling him. He did remember to put car back out of storage. Cost me $500. Had house and cars with them. Now have a local MI company. Less money and better coverage on house and car.

David, cutting wet grass. Hard on equipment?

RNG, sure would be a great thing if Van was a done project. Good luck moving forward with it.

Good Morning All.

Maybe Ron will remind you of the nice cold temps come August when you are reporting the 100s .

I'm betting ... he will.

1. Start tractor from the ground.

2. Lower MMM deck.

3. Step onto MMM deck.

4. Raise MMM deck.

5. Step off of your "MF elevator".

The deck is in my tractor building collecting dust, and the safety switch makes that a bit difficult too.
And don’t be calling my deck an MF’r!

I did.

But ... I do have a good memory on where the A/C controls are on both tractors.

Good Morning!!!! 48F and raining @ 4:00AM. Cloudy and damp with rain, heavy at times, this morning. Becoming partly cloudy late. High 56F. E winds shifting to NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a half an inch.

I had AAA insurance at my place in the SF Bay Area, and when I first moved up here. They jacked the rates by $100/year for a couple years, then dropped the detailed maps of the area, so I switched insurance companies. Now, like just about every insurance company, they won't write a policy in this area because of the wildfire danger, but they still send me mail telling me what a good deal they'll make me on my insurance.:confused2:

Nothing would make me happier than being able to turn my attention to finishing the interior of the van, Ron, but until the engine is running reliably (it's still throwing an error code, and cold starting is a problem), I'm stuck with my head in the engine bay trying to figure out what's going on. Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator, but the problems remain. Yesterday I also put together a long post for a pretty good Subaru/Vanagon forum, so my fingers are crossed that an expert will take pity on me and share a few insights.

Cleaned up the office area a little bit and got back some desktop space, generating another pile of paper for the burn pile in the process. Still more to do in there, and with today's rain, I'll keep chipping away at it.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
