Fun in Central PA


Here is the loaded roof.

Not - everything I have touched in the house has gone to s--t, it started last night with the computer. I would try and move the courser it would start to open different windows, randomly with no rhyme or reason. I tried every thing I have replaced the mouse and the keyboard, then I could not get past the security lock. The keyboard would not work at all, it would not even power up and the mouse was frozen in the center of the screen. I unplugged the four plexus form the USB port on the front of the unit and hooked up direct - still zilch. Finally I hooked the four plex to the USB in the back of the computer and yea everything works. The USB port on the front of the computer is shot. The unit sits on the floor directly under the keyboard - I know it is not a great place but it is the space that I have.

The new keyboard is about 3 inches wider than the old one so I had to add a piece to the home made table to hold it up.

The Ford cruise control recall included my Ford - When I called them this morning they told me to bring it in as it was slow and would only take 10-15 minutes. I got there about 8:50 AM left 10 AM, but it is done.
I also had to get the oil changed in the Ford - I had tried to get it done on Saturday at 8:45 AM and there was a 3.5 hour wait time. Today was much better I was out of there in 45 minutes.

I went to the junk yard about 3 PM and we loaded the cut off roof onto the roof rack on the Ford and put the doors in the back. It is tied down with two 2 inch wide ratchet straps, it looks funny. I am going out and try and take a couple pictures. Which I will try and up load later to night. I will deliver the roof and doors at 8 PM tonight and after that I'll take the Dodge out there. Luckily I do not have a run till 12:30 Tomorrow. The fun is going to be getting the roof off the roof rack.

van updates and other things

The junk yard called 15 minutes before they closed and told me he gotten the roof cut off and the doors removed. I will pick them up tomorrow and take them to the body shop. It finally looks like all the pieces are coming together.

I did something stupid last night, I left the 12 volt cooler plugged in, so I had a dead battery this morning on the Ford, I now have the charger hooked up and running.

I have the back seat out of the Ford (it has been out since Tuesday, I was suppose to go and get peaches, but they would not do it like they said) I will load the handicapped carts in a short while. Then off to church, I think Betty Lee is speaking and I am platforming (running the program).

We might get some rain this afternoon, we really need it our well is sucking air at times.

I also must pick up a new set of faucets for the tub and shower for the landlord to install.
