I don't have no adventures or excit'n stuff to write about do I? All I got is this damn back an' "fix'n" stuff. Well, I could mention this damn couch too. That's it, I ain't got nuttin.
Yesterday, we fixed something. Then I sat on that damn couch. Then my back hurted. See what I'm talk'n bout? I don't have no fun.
My water tank was get'n low. It's got to be filled. The dad gum fill hose has a hole in it. Water runs down on my inverter. The inverter is gonna blow fuses an' circuit breakers an' catch slap on fire.....burn down "da house". I know, change the fill hose. "Wear ya gonna git a fill hose Billy Bob"?
I/we walks all over Home Depot look'n at stuff. My feet are hurt'n an' I gotta sit down. In the lumber department where they got all my "project" stuff neatly stowed on shelves, I sit down. Off to the check out, out to the truck an' we go to Tractor Supply.....down the road a piece.
"Make it short Billy Bob, nobody wants to hear details". Anyhows, after Tractor Supply, we went back to Home Depot an' fount a hose that will work. I throwed it in the Weber grill to soften it to bend around corners (S shape) an' Robert did a wonderful installation.
While sit'n round outside jaw jack'n, I decided to test the Onan with a small load on it. It crank right up. Shoot some black smoke out the exhaust an' shut down. Just like before on the trip. "Well Billy Bob, looks like you don't know nuttin bout adjust'n chokes on a Onan". My Onan generator has almost 800 hours on it. It's never been serviced other than oil changes an' blow out the air filter a couple times. Hmmmmm, betcha a dollar them spark plugs could use a change.
Note: Air cooled Onan generators build up carbon inside the engine. This carbon is supposed to be removed every 500 hours of operation by a certified know how to do it Onan mechanic. "Google Billy Bob....Google". Ha....lookie here what I just found. Seafoam or Onan 4C to decarb. Betcha a dollar I buy me some Seafoam.
Note #2: If you full time in a RV, yes you need a perfectly operating generator.
Ok, I wasn't gonna tell ya, but I change my mind. Last night was a terrible pain filled night. After I crawled out that dad gum hole in my couch, I feeled a backards leg cramp com'n on. I fixed that. Then 2 am I come scream'n out of bed. I got me more backards leg cramps. Then again at 4:30am, I got me some more. The 4:30 one lasted 45 minutes before I could feel relief. Sleeped till almost 8am....got me another one. How do ya spell terrible?
Ok......that's it, I'm out of here. Ha ha....got things to do.

You need to get a new couch and quit fooling around trying to fix the one you have. If it causes back pain that bad, then you shouldn't sit or lounge on it now or after you get your back fixed. I hate to see you feeling so bad.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Horses landed me in the hospital last week and I'm not joking! Figured out they were getting worse and worse due to me taking something for my cholesterol. I tossed it out after two days of hospital doctors scratching their heads over my non-stop charlie horse, and it stopped.
ReplyDeleteHere I was, drooling over your RV and showing my husband what the good life looks like, only to find out that it all depends on which side you're sleepin'. Keep being honest and I'll keep comin' back. ya hear?
Mustard BB,you need to eat a heaping teaspoon of French's mustard when you get one of those leg cramps.
ReplyDeleteHa River....I rubbed a whole freak'n bottle of that mustard on my legs an' it didn't do nuttin. Maybe I should have rubbed it on my lower back. What ya think???
DeleteI eat mustard on hot dogs an' I eat lots of hot dogs.
hi BB ,billy bob, do you have any idea how much we all hate to hear you doing all that painful suffering just about every day or at least every 2cd day ?
ReplyDeletewhen you suffer, we suffer for and with you . so will you please, for all of our sake's get your self taking care of so we do not have to suffer along with you . billy bob ,let me tell you that i because of you (your blog) no longer want to live much longer if all i have to look forward to in a few more years is, a life of excruciating pain , why can you not give me hope a reason to look forward to life in my old age ? and get your old self of excruciating pains fixed ?
Isn't that the reason I took this trip Louie? My first appointment is in 10 more days....and that's only the beginning. Knock on wood, fingers an' toes crossed.....mayby they will fix me right up.
DeleteYour Onan heeds an oil change, new plug and new (not cleaned) air filter. Probably an idle adjustment as well. This should be repeated every 100 hours.
ReplyDeleteDoes your Onan have a fuel filter like my diesel Onan has?
ReplyDeleteOur Onan will not start now, think we needs a new starter, and figure out why we can't get fuel to it from the tank.
