Another busy day here in Plattsvile.

Where are we today ?
       A nice quiet night at "Camp Pettigrew" and first thing this morning Dale was finishing up with our coach. Torqued the wheels, and bled the brakes, then hooked up his code reader to check the engine light on our coach. Checking a few things established that a vacuum line had collapsed and need to be replaced. So that part is on order will get that done next time we are back here.
Thats our engine all 10 cylinders and 300 horsepower.
      He also did some more checking on our generator problem, could be the fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump. If I pressurize the gas tank with my air compressor we get fuel to the pump and genny starts up and keeps running, no problem. Let it sit for a day or two and no fuel to the pump. Could be the fuel line to the gas tank, but the way it was installed is really not accessible in a big way.There is a rubber hose, then a metal gas line then another rubber gas line that looks like it goes into the top of the tank, out of sight.  Need to do more research. To remove the fuel tank, looks like we need to remove the rear levelling jacks?
        Well enough of the coach repairs for a while, lets get the coach back to "camp awesome" and finish mowing the lawn. Move the two blocks back and its raining as I set up. Hmmm... Ok got wet but its a warm rain, needed a shower anyway.
        Not wanting to mow the lawn in the rain I whipped up another batch of my pasta (macaroni) salad. When this was done the rain stopped so hopped in the mower and was able to finish the last three acres here. Got rained out yesterday too. 
couple hours later, done,
      Mowing done and a quick dip in the pool, got changed and off to visit Ma, for her birthday. Took  some of my salad, and stopped to pick up a rotisserie chicken and mashed taters for ma. Well they had the last day for the Canada Day special and what a deal it was. I large chicken, 2 lbs salads, I chocolate fudge cake and a huge container of Canada Day ice cream $14.99 how can you beat that? And all we wanted was the chicken. So we had a feast with lots and lots of leftovers.
tasty supper
very moist cake and Canadian Ice cream
       A nice visit with Ma then head on back home, relax out side enjoying the fresh air with a great view and the birds chirping in the background.
     Even got to enjoy our books for a bit before it got too dark.
     Glad you could drop on by again.

  4. Your generator has been problematic for a bit now but it seems as though the trouble shooting could lead to a solution soon. Good luck with that. The mower seems to work well, however....!

    1. Thats what we are hoping, but could be a very expensive fix?
