Default What a great week!

Had an MRI on my shoulder on Monday. Doc called Wednesday morning, you have a torn rotator cuff and a tear in the labrum. That's the cartilage in the joint like the meniscus in the knee joint. So I get to have surgery, oh boy.

We were headed out for a short camping trip on Wednesday, Gun Lake, MI. Our son, his fiance and her kids as well. Get to the campground and waiting to check in, we had reservations. Finally shut the motorhome off while waiting. Get checked in and MH won't start, nothing notta, zildge. Get underneath and beat on it, nope. Jump the house batteries to the engine battery, nothing.

Finally pulled the starter. Fortunately Henry was there and offered to pull it off since I have a torn rotator cuff. Drove back to town, finally found a starter we thought would work. Pretty much the same but different mounts for the heat shield. Got it started and went to the campsite.

Then it poured overnight, I mean poured. I put 6x8 blocks under the leveling jacks. One sunk halfway into the muck. Pull in the slides, raise the levelers and place a 2x8 under the block. That sunk and next day had to move the MH over to drier ground and re-level.

Go to leave today, Sunday and engine battery dead, no start. Solenoid that jumps the house batteries to engine battery must be fried because it did nothing. Get out the jumper cable and get it started.

All in all a great week. Can't wait for next week.
