Yesterday I picked up our truck from the mechanic, injectors were ok after testing, so reinstall with a different wiring harness gasket the mechanic says was the problem. I'll be driving it here a couple weeks before we leave, so have a good test at "is the problem solved"? Hopefully it is, had to install a new battery too, mechanic recommended, so I went to a shop had it tested, yep new battery too.
Sometimes a situation like this can cause frustration, both for me and the mechanic, this is one of those times. I didn't pay him for doing it twice, he's says not his fault, I'm not sure yet, but I'm hopeful the problem has been fixed. Will see over the next couple weeks.
Pool is cool, I tried it last couple days, weather is warm, going for a little drive today, or tomorrow, a visit to the beach on the west side of Florida, Fort Myers, and areas. Having no transportation has held us back from looking around here.
Maybe will be a weekday, as weekend be busy as been awhile since the warm weather has been here. I have a few packages to send back too, so try to combine this with the trip. I've found out that there are UPS places you can drop stuff off at, if you have a label, but can't print a label if a QR code.
I'm learning there are drop of places in other businesses, but a UPS store, that's where you get full service.
I'm getting labels sent to me, so I can attach and send my parcel, by dropping it off at a UPS access point, as the UPS stores are all in bigger locations. Lots to learn about getting the correct address on the parcel, something the driver will recognize easily, and getting the parcel shipped to the correct address.
Like old-school, going shopping at Sears, or going to the catalog office in a small town.
February 1st today, I'm thinking about the 25% tariff and how it will change my world 🌍, how & if we will continue to come to the USA?
I'm always hopeful, but this would be a deal breaker for us I'm sure, and many others. I've seen the empty trailers here, I'm sure next year there will be more if that 25% is added onto the poor dollar exchange. We just operate in what we can control, the playing internationaly with our dollar, and restrictions is just something we have to deal with. I've already started looking elsewhere in the world, places warm, and different sights. Portugal, that's one possible, but I'm sure others are looking too, so next year be one where we don't spend our winter in our trailer, but possibly in another different house or home.
Adapting to what comes is a quality I noticed Polly is better at than me, she rolls with the punches better than me.
Polly just announced it's, February 1st, and I ask what's that mean to you? Just that January is done, then as she looks says, we'll be on the road for Americo's Birthday 🎂. Funny how we see things differently. Here I am thinking of the tariff and the dollar, and Polly's thinking of our trip back, and a friend's birthday 🎈. Different, but all good as they say now, all will turn out ok!
Ok, out for a walkabout I'm going now, get the blood moving this morning.
Sure do love this life ❤️
