Double Bonus Day!

Yesterday, I put up a quick post about the part for my Powerwagon. I also said I had the flu. I am happy to say that it was just a 24 hour bug and I feel much better! I also feel much better because I got to put the new throttle cable on the DR Powerwagon. Guys, it took all of five minutes to install! I can't explain how tickled I am. You never really know how much you come to depend on things until they break down.

This was the easiest fix I think I have ever performed on a machine. My usual protocol on repairs is that I break something else while fixing one thing. Or, I find it more complicated than I thought and it will take me all day to fix it, rather than the 20 minutes I thought it would take.

I must say one thing about the DR company. Their service was exceptionally fast. I got the part in 4 days. They were very friendly and helpful. I am even more in love with DR than I was before. They sent me a catalogue with the part. Man, if I had the money...

The machine runs better than it has for a year, which tells me that the throttle cable was weak for a while. But, all is good in the world again. Except when it comes to our government trying to impose illegal laws on us unsuspectingly. That is a whole different post, I'll get to it next time.

I got this month's Stockman Grassfarmer today. Alan Nation is at his usual best with his column. I haven't finished it yet, but the article is a good one about our failing economy and the idea of debt. We all make mistakes and we all go into debt, at some point. Getting by without debt is what I recommend. If we didn't have this mortgage, things would be a lot easier. More on that later.

Until next time, keep your stick on the ice.
