Got A Repair To Do When I Get Back

The traveling rv service man came by yesterday afternoon and looked at my light problem and the ice maker. He spent about an hour looking for the source of the loss of power to two switches and an overhead fixture. All to no avail. Somewhere in the wiring is a disconnected wire. All of the connections at the fuse panel work. Without a wiring diagram there is little hope. A trip to a fleetwood dealer.

The ice maker stopped making ice after the last defrost I did. While the serviceman was here he looked at that and we must have a new water line to the ice maker. Not a easy fix. The frige must be pulled out to attach a new line. A trip also to a fleetwood dealer.

I get the feeling that this will be an expensive trip. Then the rv is "for sale". All known repairs will have been done.

Its been gorgeous here since our last cold spell. The next week is forecast for more of the same.

And Janis I will be heading home in three weeks at the latest. My rent is paid till th 1st of March so I must go then. I plan on a stop in San Antonio to see my daughter and grandkids. Its a 5 hour drive to their place and another 5 hour drive and to Fort Worth, actually to the COE at Benbrook Lake before going to the repair shop.

Its 21 days or less and counting.

Christmas Pics















Here are Christmas at the Talleys, 07, while I was home for four days. Much to short.

There is Shirley, her dad and mom.

Shirley got a new pillow for the couch.

Her dad taking a break between gifts to see what everybody else was opening.

And her mom with the new knife set and assistance from her son.

More Wind and Passing Fronts

Since my last post, we have had two fronts pass through. This one is bring winds of the 25-30 range with forecast of 40+ gusts today. I played 9 holes yesterday in 15-20 with 30 gusts but not today. Just to much wind.

I will have the traveling RV service man by Friday to look at the lights and get them fixed. His rate is half the going rv service center rate. He is RVIA certified which means he has been to the school back east for repairman. Works for me. Get the rv repaired here and then move to home and get it listed "FOR SALE". We have a 2000 Pace Arrow Vision with extras and some new parts. Its my home so I keep it up. We will be asking $50k but can negotiate. Email me if interested.

Not much else to say, just the same ole same old. Golf, stay warm and our of the winds, and more golf. I am going to play the Tierra Santa golf course here. It meanders thru the homes and look like a nice course. Let you know more later.
