Today is the last day of warm weather for this year. Today, we had a high of 64 – 20 degrees above normal. Looking at the extended forecast, no more days in the 40s this year.
With that in mind, I decided to take the MH to FS Farmtown to fill the propane tank while it is warm. When I back the MH out of the driveway, I stop and take a quick look down the road to make sure there are no cars coming along. We live on a country road with very little traffic, but don’t want to take any chances.
Wasn’t long before the gas man added 9.4 gallons and I was home by 9:30 to finish my coffee.
Before I left, I tried starting the generator and all I got was sparks and noise. Decided to call Cummins in Normal and have it checked out by a pro. When I got home, I made the call and they were very friendly and we made an appointment for Thursday to have it fixed.
I pass that place many times and see motorhomes sitting outside waiting to be worked on, but I have never checked with them to see what they do. I assumed they only work on diesel engines, but I guess they do more. This will be a great opportunity to find out what all they do.
This morning, while reading The Pantagraph, our hometown paper, I saw an article with our son Steve in it. That was a surprise! Way to go Steve! I’m proud of you.
This evening, Yuma and I took a shower. He loves his shower and gets excited afterward, jumping around with his toys. Here he is, giving me the evil eye when I told him to stop jumping on and off the couch. He’s lying on the clean sheets Dolly laid there to fold and put away. BAD BOY!
Time for Monday Night Football. See you later.
That Yuma...! He likes to be clean, even if water turns him into a firecracker.
ReplyDeleteHope they get that generator fixed up for you. I'd be pretty nervous seeing sparks flying around.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you guys are free to head south this year again. I will be glad to have the generator fixed too. Had problems with it last winter and I'm not wanting to go through that again.
DeleteHi Doug, sure have missed your blog all these months . What a cute expression you captured on Yuma's face - and the back story made me laugh ! Hope you get that generator fixed.
ReplyDeleteHi Moonfly. Glad to hear from you. That Yuma gets feisty after his bath. I'll be glad to have the generator problem gone. Bothered me last year and not wanting to go through it again this year too.
DeleteI see in your profile that you like Breaking Bad. Dolly bought the entire DVD collection and we watched from beginning to end and really loved it.
Awwww....he's so cute how can you be mad at him? Like our 18 month old grandson who now can climb up onto his changing table! :-(
