Mile Post Marker: 1.2

4/8
Sunday morning was cold here in the trailer.
Cold night.
The furnace seems to not want to work.
We had inklings yesterday but hoped it would resolve itself. So much for that positive thinking bullshit.

Connie and I went to Legends this morning. Nothing we could do about the furnace until RV place opened. I had enough luck to be a few $ ahead. Connie had no luck.
On the way home we called Broadmoor RV and talked with Ryan (sold us the RV) to see if he had any advice or tricks on getting the furnace back on line. He did not, but said he would ask around and call back if he found something we could use.
We stopped at Walmart to see if we could see if they carried Rose's Sour Apple mixer. Nope they do not. While there I wanted to check to see if Walmart carries wide blade fuses that are used in RV Trailers. They do have them.
When back at the trailer I checked the furnace fuse and it was good.
The truck showed that the DEF was at 28% so I replaced 2.5 gallons that I had on hand. Not really sure how much is needed to fill the DEF reservoir. Will have to find out how much the reservoir holds when full.
Saturday was not interesting, we puttered around. Connie fed the laundromat here at Suntides and it gave her some clean clothes. I took the bike for a ride. Rode down to 40th and Fruitvale.
I did drive to Fred Meyers to pick up odds and ends a couple times.
On one visit I met Steve from Shields and found out that he had had open heart surgery and then later surgery on his neck for some kind of congenital defect since I retired in 16. The neck surgery was not 100%. He ended up with his left arm useless. He is only 53 and had to "retire" last December before Shields was taken over officially by Novalex. Bureaucracy is bureaucracy no matter whether it is business or government.  His 401k got caught up in the changing from Shields to Novalex. So he is without any retirement monies untlil probably mid 18, and depends on SSA disability payments to live. A hard working man is slowly falling threw the cracks.
