Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

41 going up to 62 and the sun will be out.
Friday night saw Seinfeld at the Met in Philly, was ok, wife was happy. I was in too much pain and Saturday was no better so stop taking new medicine. Yesterday I started feeling a bit better but still pretty out of it, now back to original problem.

Did get one more board up before sons friends came over to practice yesterday. Was pretty out of it and dropper the sheetrock on my foot, it certainly does weigh 70 pounds, ouch. Just bruised though, as was my ego.

Sorry to hear about your friend Drew

back to work,
Be well

Tire shop called early saying the camper tires were in. So I took the tires in to tire shop 2 at a time in the subaru. I used a couple spare tires I bought once for my other trailer, to hold the camper temporary while I had each pair changed. They were quick, took the young man about 10 minutes to get the first 2 done, I said I'd be back later. Went home, and looked like the Dukes of Hazzard changing those tires around, course more like Jesse Duke. Went back with the other pair, and another quick turn around. I tipped him. I have never tipped a guy changing my tires before, but he was so quick. If I had taken the 2 china bombs to costco to change, it would have been hours waiting for each pair.
camper is now sitting on 4 new Goodyear tires, and the china bombs were returned to costco. I know the Girl in the costco tire shop, she used to play baseball in Rec league with my oldest son many years ago. And the girl at the costco gas pump gave me a big hug in front of everyone, also a longtime friend... Even found my wife who happened to be in Costco the same time I took the tires back, so I hunted her down using the FindMy app on my phone, and helped her shop. Glad to have that job done. These were original tires on the camper almost 12 years old. tread looked like new, but cracking on the sides.
The new 20 ton bottle jack i bought from amazon last week was a real help. And the new gravel parking pad made it nice.

Do you jack the camper up so the tires have no weight on them during winter?

No, and it’s never been an issue.

Now that's a nap.

Sounds like a very reasoned approach RS. Save money.

If I can pull the rebuild off successfully, the money saved will go towards paying for the Cycle Stop Valve and the Cycle Sensor.

Those together are around $475.

A new well pump last time around was almost $1100 ... probably more now.

RS, my sears water softner just needed new gasket in the valve mechanism, wasn't real hard to replace.

Watching some YouTubes on valve rebuilding demystified it for me.

Got the line to the brine tank, drain line, line from the brine valve to the brine injector, and both supply lines disconnected.

Softener now moved out from the wall to where I can get to it.

Next will be to remove the valve body from the resin tank.

On mine, the valve is just a bunch of in and out ports, and a motor turns a plate that opens and closes different ports to make up the different cycles. There is a gasket in there that seals them all from each other, it wears out and then ports leak across each other. Usually just a new seal is all that's needed. The other major item is to replace the resin beads, but do they really go bad. Really the only reason they go bad is if they aren't getting cleaned in the flush cycle.
My manual has a nice breakdown of exactly what each cycle does.
