First thing is Thom's dad and mom are at an RV park in Florida. While there the telephone company and/or the park had the telephone lines just laying on the ground. Thoms dad tripped over the wire, fell and hit his head on the telephone box. Of course tried to not go to the hospital but after a few days he went and yes he has a concussion. They tried to send him home but on the way back he passed out three times so back to the hospital and more testing. It seems that he had some problems in his neck now that he had to have surgery to do part fusion and have some spacers put in to take pressure off the nerves in his neck. That's done but he's now had a bad reaction to the anthesia and is seeing things that aren't there. Needless to say things are touch and go with that for a few till they get it straightened out.
Second thing is while we were supposed to leave where we are at to go back to the other coast by the end of Feb, we got the call and email last week that we are extended – again – till the end of March. So we took this past weekend and relaxed and played as much as possible. We know we are going to have to now settle down to get things done on the 4Runner, bike and the MH.
Talking about the Harley, Thom finally changed out the battery and some cables. Took about 3 hrs or so to do it all but it is now done.
We did stop off and picked up some stuff for towing like a braking system. Thom also got some more advice on stuff. Manuels and things only cover so much so there were a few things he was not clear on and was just making sure we were doing them correctly and yep we were. Things like do you dump the air bags before doing the leveling. Makes sense that yes you do dump but it's not written anywhere so it's nice to know that you are right, lol.
We did go and measure the levelers so that when we cut the stall mats up that they will acutally fit. We found out that they measure 10 inches round. The barn stall mat is 4 x 6 so we will cut up the mat into 16 x 18 so that we get an even number of squares out and we don't have to be that particular about making sure they are under the feet with the squares only being 12 x 12. This way we can also have the larger size to use for several other things.
We do have some trim that is coming off of the door to the bedroom so Saturday we will fix that along with several other little things and make note of anything else. We will pick up the propane regulator this week and get that replaced so that we can test the stove to make sure that is all the way fixed. We also have the heater to put back together to test that. We will see about moving the MH somewhat so that we can get to the electric they have for some MH's to use and then we will use that to vaccum the MH and the 4Runner out. The person who had the 4Runner before appearently like to go to very sandy areas. Those vaccums that you can use at the self-service car wash places do not have beaters on them like a home vaccum and with all the sand thats in them we either need to beat the sand out or just replace all the carpet. So we will try a home vaccum first to get at least most of the sand out, lol.
