Good Morning!!!! 60F @ 5:15AM. Abundant sunshine. High 83F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
One of my SoCal buddies had cataract surgery a couple months ago, Scotty. Before the procedure, they were uncertain if they would get the other eye done right away, or wait. But the improvement was so vast with the first eye, they're going back at the end of this month to have the other one done. That's pretty much the same story I've heard from other friends that have had cataract surgery, and chances are very good you'll have a great result, too. Best of luck!
Great pics of the fall color, folks. Thanks for sharing.
My friend and I got a good start on the wiring harness yesterday, labeling all the connectors, which should have been done by the fella that made the harness. Google played a lead role in figuring out what went where. Also found a couple of broken connectors that left us both wondering how they could have not been noticed by the maker. Damaged in transit? Next step is taking the old harness off, but that'll have to wait until after I return from down south. We finished my friends visit by loading a couple more motorcycles into the van, then I packed up a large bookcase full of old magazines and filled up the rest of the van.
Somewhere along the way I stopped and tried to make a phone call and learned that the land line is no longer working. AT&T said it was a problem with their lines, and will work on it tomorrow.
The call I was trying to make was to the manufacturer of the gate controller, which is also on the Frits. The tech talked me through several tests, then had me pull off a 12 pin connector to examine the wiring. Two or three of the leads had worked loose, so fixing that helped, but the charge controller for the solar panel and battery was still not regulating properly, and the radio isn't working, either. Just need the tech to provide a diagnostic to make sure, and get those parts on order.
Got an email from Amazon letting me know that a delivery driver had trouble getting to the house yesterday. Can't understand why, as the gate was wide open for my friend's visit, and there's a parcel box at the cul-de-sac to use, too. So I got Amazon to call me and arranged for a refund since I won't be here later in the week. Then after dinner I got another Amazon email telling me that the package had been delivered. Went up to the parcel box and sure enough, the Makita oscillating cutter I ordered was there. Now I don't know if the refund will go through or not, but probably another mess to straighten out.
Today I'll get a start on wiring in a trailer brake controller in the new van, and maybe install some anchors in the floor of the new trailer. It would be nice to get that trailer ready for this trip, but then I'd have to pack it and I'm not sure there's enough time left for that. We'll see.
