Ran around and did errands all day. Spoke with Fleet this morning to let them know I had all of the parts for the gearbox and to see when they expected to start. They were startled that I had actually procured the parts and indicated it was their policy to NOT install owner supplied parts. They understood my predicament and said they would check with their boss about helping us anyway. The rest of the day we ran errands. We ate lunch at Serranos and it was pretty good mexican food with a passable Margarita. After lunch I took Donna to urgent care because her cough and chest congestion has flared back up. We are scared not to address it after my brother Rick’s experience with Sepsis and with all of the chatter in the news about the flu. While Donna was at urgent care I went to Tractor Supply and got the required bolts for the gearbox swap and checked multiple places for tools I would need if I were to try the gearbox repair on my own. I hadn’t heard back from Fleet and was getting worried I would be on my own. I was just getting ready to buy the first tool at Harbor Freight when Fleet called and said they would install my parts. They would start first thing in the morning (Sat). The doc said Donna had severe allergies from the extra high levels of Cedar in the Austin area.
Sorry, no pictures today. Tractor Supply wasn’t that interesting anyway 🙂
