TGIF

Up early again and had coffee with Donna, then she headed out to work. About 09:00AM I noticed the sun had come out, I decided I would take the truck out and top it off with fuel, Donna took it to work yesterday and came back with 1/4 of a tank, which is where I like to fill it so I will never run out of fuel again. Like on my trip to Iowa last year.
The reason she had my good truck was her dag gummed check engine light came on again, I took it to Auto Zone and the tester showed a bad TPS Sensor, (Throttle Position Sensor) so I thought back and I remembered replacing one last year, I asked if they were guaranteed and he looked it up and yep a 2 year guarantee on the one a I bought last August Great so I got the replacement for nothing and put it on and the light is now off again.
This afternoon the adjuster came to look at our roof, we noticed some damage after the Good Friday storm and we have  had a couple more hail storms since then. He spent quite a bit of time on the roof and when he was done he said they would replace the roof as it was damaged.
So we will have a new roof on the house before we sell it.
The big news for today is it was Nicole’s last day of school so she only has a half day, when she got home we found out that she has been promoted to the third grade level. Grandpa is really proud of her work. I haven’t heard from Adam yet but he should be advancing to the fourth grade without any problem since he’s been on the honor role all year.
That’s about it for today, looking forward to a wet weekend, and then it’s supposes to be sunny Monday. Glad now I didn’t go to the Lake as the kid’s would have been disappointed with no swimming and rain all day.
Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.

  2. Thanks for the invitation, I won't be heading back home/and past your town until the last week in June. I left home Thursday and headed west first through Iowa and today started heading south I am now in Northwest Missouri. After studying all of the weather maps, I didn't want to head south right away. So far it has been dry, we are expecting some rain tonite.

  6. Good to hear the grandkids are on their way up that ladder of success! We need to put a new roof on our house, but hoping we can hold off til next year. It is nice that mother nature at least provided you with a benefit for putting up with all the crappy weather of late.

  9. Good news on getting a new roof through your insurance. Definitely a plus when you come to sell the house.

    Congrats to Nicole on passing to the next grade. They sure finish school early there for the summer holidays. Here the summer holidays don't start until the end of June for elementary school.
