Busy, busy

Larry has been busy, busy, busy getting everything ready to go. He was concerned about the hard downshift we experienced coming to Phoenix from Oregon so he took the driveshaft out of the MH to have it checked out by Precision Driveline.

Driveshaft out of the MH

It weighs 60 lbs but he was smart and used ropes to hold it to both get it out and put it back it. It was a job he did not really want to do as the under side of the MH is filthy after 15 years of driving grime and he had very little working space but he got it done and feels so much better knowing it is OK. He had new U joints put in but it was not bent which he thought it might be. He also greased the coach with his new grease gun and said it was a joy because it worked so well. He is always glad when the annual grease job is done.  Larry finally got around to cutting the extra off the added drainpipe under the new driveway from last year.  He had to actually get inside the pipe to cut it off!

The end product. Amazing how many rocks were inside!

Since the driveshaft is finished Larry has been re-wiring the electric so he won't have extension cords running across the patio. He is putting outlets on both sides of the patio so next year he will have electric for his planned projects.

On the 18^th we went to see the movie “I Can Only Imagine” after church. It is a great movie and I highly recommend it!

March 23 I met with our old friend, Sharon, who we haven't seen in seven years, in Scottsdale at a Chick-Fil-A, about 20 miles away for both of us as she lives in east Mesa. We had a nice two hour lunch catching up on family. One funny thing is her granddaughter is a senior at U of A and works with my cousin Alfred. What a small world we live in!

We ended the month celebrating our grandson Colby's birthday by going to Red Robin just down the road and then returning to the house for cake and ice cream. We usually play games but instead we just talked about what was happening in each other's lives so it was a good evening.
