Bl...OOOG, I hate days when stuff happens like that! Blankin' RV things anyhow. My fridge took a crap in 2010. That sucked. I used a plug in coleman ice chest for refridgeration for several months till I could afford a new fridge. A good temporary job helped me out of that situation, fortunately. <br /><br />I hope the transmission thing isn't all that bad. I like Dan's suggestions! <br /><br />Genny, you probably know about them, but check the oil level. Air filter, all that stuff. I did a post today about changing your genny oil. <br /><br />I'm a very optimistic person. My husband was very pessimistic - drove me crazy. (we're seperated now). The friends that I stay with, she's the most pessimistic person I think I've ever met in my life!! I've had to learn to ignore her attitude & her insecure fears. Those are hers, not mine. I do have to endure listening to them. It's especially bad when things go wrong with me, then she wants to dwell on it & make it soooo much blacker. Sometimes it does get to me. I try my best to ignore it all though. <br />OK Wolfman, where are Mama's shoes??TexCynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174615550131393975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252979175886717995.post-43809482469878279602012-05-09T19:10:44.167-04:002012-05-09T19:10:44.167-04:00Excellent comments and suggestions and you all mad...Excellent comments and suggestions and you all made me laugh even more!DearMissMermaidDotComhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598961939363561237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252979175886717995.post-35395710068210058412012-05-09T17:38:40.292-04:002012-05-09T17:38:40.292-04:00A number of years ago (number to remain anonymous)...A number of years ago (number to remain anonymous) I found myself living in a stolen car on a small island in Alaska (long story). I was hungry, cold, depressed and worried about how I would get out of the situation (and how I got into it in the first place). One night we parked the car at the end of a road and camped there. In the morning I got out of the car and could see the scenery (we parked in total pitch blackness). It was absolutely stunning. I was in awe and walked around just marvelling at the beauty. Then I turned around and looked at the car and burst out laughing. It became one of those laughing fits that couldn't be cured. I was no longer feeling hopeless but very amused by the absurdity of the situation. As soon as my outlook changed, things improved. (To this day I don't know if they actually got better or if I just wasn't dwelling on the negative side so they seemed better.)<br />Since then I just try to apply humor to any bad days and think that things could be worse (much worse). <br />It's okay to have a bad day but it's a lot more fun to be happy no matter what. When I get down about stuff I usually start to rant and my friends start to laugh at me. It ends up being a laugh fest.<br />Now, shake down those raccoons and ask for your shoes back!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569135264564633505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252979175886717995.post-71304995653717966142012-05-09T17:12:21.013-04:002012-05-09T17:12:21.013-04:00"About the guy....no help from here.

Summers comming and usually you have to adjust it up a bit. Up <br /><br />is cold, down is warmer.<br />- pull your outside fridge vent anyway and look for yellow powder. If <br /><br />you see any, your ammonia tank is leaking.<br /><br />Genset.....<br />- look again and see if your 30 amp umbilical is plugged into the <br /><br />coach outlet (inside the small compartment you stuff the cord into).<br />Make sure the genny is off when you do this. If it's plugged in, but <br /><br />the genny starts and runs ok, you may have a tripped breaker, this <br /><br />can happen if you start or turn off the genny with something big <br /><br />(like the AC) turned on. If your genny starts and runs for 5 seconds <br /><br />and then stops, it's a totally different issue,,,,usually with the <br /><br />genny.<br /><br />Tranny....<br />- check the fluid with the engine running. Your automatic tranny is <br /><br />probably is a Ford C6 tranny, which is a workhorse. If you have a bad <br /><br />seal, it can be fixed pretty easily. DO NOT GET A TRANSMISSION<br />FLUSH. Kiss of death for your frictions and steels in it.<br /><br />I also fulltime in a class c, and with a rig made in the 90's I <br /><br />totally understand about everyday its something.<br /><br />About the guy....no help from here. But i myself wouldn't put up with <br /><br />that kind of emotional high maint. But that's just me. We all have <br /><br />needs, but shit, don't make my life suck just because at the moment <br /><br />yours does.<br /><br />Regards...<br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252979175886717995.post-85832151335764603402012-05-09T15:40:11.968-04:002012-05-09T15:40:11.968-04:00Awwww, thanks for the fabulous comments!Awwww, thanks for the fabulous comments!DearMissMermaidDotComhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598961939363561237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252979175886717995.post-28289433852519346252012-05-09T11:57:38.726-04:002012-05-09T11:57:38.726-04:00Just happened to stumble on to your site while try...Just happened to stumble on to your site while trying to find out about the BVI weather next week when I arrive for 2 glorious weeks of BVI relaxation (and pain killers):) Love your writing, it's so fresh and so real.
