Truck update .

   Last week I wrote that my truck troubles were a 40$ sensor . Well the truck has run good and I have put 200 miles on it since the repair. I have filled the tank and checked the mpg it is getting now. It got 14.7 just tooling around the house for the first 100 miles. Now the second 100 was 70 on the interstate  and 30 local and it got 16.4 mpg . It wasn't a cruise speed trip ,mid day through Birmingham is hammer down and move or die .

    Before the repair it 11 to 12 MAY BE  so far it is a 25% increase or more. That is a major operating savings. Now I could drive a smaller truck but it couldn't do what I need it to do. I gave some thought to what that damn part cost me over the last year and I could have spent 2 weeks camping .

Balancing act this weekend.

   Sorry I haven't posted but been juggling family and buissness this weekend. My  Mom came down for my birthday and my nephews this weekend. My nephew turned 3 Saturday and I Turned  53 today. I know he was more excited than I was :).

   Now I love when my Mom comes down to visit but life has to go on . Weekend visits I still have to do the BBQ and a few hours work at the trailer had to be done. Even on my birthday I have had some matters to attend to.  I remember when my life was not so hecktic but it has been a while .

    I will be posting a few picture's of the trailer remodel later this week it has seen some big changes in the last month.

A Trump ad no lies only the truth.

Whether you are for him or not, this is a fabulous ad!!!
Till now Trump hasn’t really spent any money on ads – he’s promoted himself and message for free at the expense of those who do NOT want him elected – THE MEDIA.
BUT when he creates an ad ..WOW!
(He really rattles their cages) “THE DONALD”
LOVE HIM, DOUBT HIM or HATE HIM – He is indeed shaking it up to the very core of our political system – which is a GOOD thing.
It’s hard to believe that even Trump would have the ‘cojones’ to put this on the air.
Here is a rousing military medley that tells it how it is … the lyrics are clever and funny …
Obama is suitably recognized. It’s a 2 minute video!

A year of truck troubles was a 40$ fix.

     Ok I have cried on here about needing/wanting a new truck for over a year. No I don't care about riding around in a newer nicer looking ride. I care about a work truck that does what I need and can be depended on every time I get in it. My truck pulls our campers, the vending trailers and enables me to get the lumber and tools to these 2 houses to remodel. For a year it has run rough most of the time and smooth as silk the rest. To hear it some days it sounded like it had a couple of cylinders missing. Gas mileage was 10 to 12 mpg. empty or hauling a trailer. Every thing said it was in the plugs wires or rotor cap all have been replaced over the year no improvement.

    A few weeks ago a neighbor stopped by while I was selling BBQ just to B.S. and he asked "what is wrong with your truck it has been sounding rough passing by." So I told him what I had done and it hadn't helped. He told me it was "that little black sensor on the side of the carburetor" ok thanks. Now this is a "good ol' boy" he drinks way to much and has run through more trucks than shirts so I didn't think to much on his advise. Well last week I towed a friends truck to my old mechanic and asked would a bad sensor on the throttle body make it sound like a miss? 

   Butch said start it up. I did and he listened a second, naturally it sounded perfect. He walked to the back and smelled the exhaust. He said it was real rich smelling mite be the throttle position sensor or the Map sensor not the wires and plugs.  Butch said he was full up with work all I had to do was loosen 2 screw and pop on the sensor  and start with the "little black one on the carburetor side".
 
  Well I got that 40$ sensor it took 5 minutes to swap them out and my truck started purring like a fat cat in your lap. I have spent 100s in gas because of a nothing part. Live and learn . A simple fix had me ready to spend thousands on a new truck.

Plan G retirement !

Say you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself and the government says there is no Nursing Home care available.So, what do you do? You opt for Medicare Plan G.

The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun (Plan G) and one bullet. You are allowed to shoot one worthless politician. This means you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all the Health Care you need. Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That’s great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? They are all covered!
As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now! And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you they can’t afford for you to go into a nursing home. And you will get rid of a useless politician while you are at it. And now, because you are a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any more income taxes.
 
    I found this on Papa Mike's  but the more times I read  it  the more I think it has merit. As I get older the " Penalty of Law" is less and less . Now when I was 25 a life sentence was a 50 + year term of the best year of my life. Now that I am over 50 it is 20 or so years of poorer health. Once I hit 65 to 70 the max penalty would be 10 years with 5 of them being better off dead.

    So IF I am still around at 75 I can do any damn thing I want and there is not any " Penalty of Law" to amount to shit for my punishment. I may stick around just to see what appeals to my twisted mind !
