I saw this thread had some new posts in it, so I stopped in to see what was going on. You guys are killing me here, I had gatoradespew all over my monitor from you guys. Now, you guys have to stop this crap, I'm home sick as a dog, stayed home from work even, and I kinda like my job. I really must be sick.
We had a terrible weekend. We went to Patagonia Lake, about an hour and a half from the house, pulling that big ass toy hauler. Sunday, we were outside cooking dinner with some friends, and along came a rain storm. No problem, we got the awning out, it's 20 long, we're covered. Well..........the rain turns into hail about split pea size, then proceeds to to get bigger and bigger. It wound up in about 15 minutes to be nice marble size hail. It's beating the crap outta us, my new toy hauler, my new truck, all the chairs and the tents people were in. Man, it was bad. Screw this, I'm going in, and turn up the stereo. About 5-8 mins. after going inside, we heard a big ass bang. Turned towards the big window and door to see that 20' awning hanging down in front of the window. Oh well, we went out and cleared the awning so it wouldn't beat the side of the trailer to death. After the rain quit, we went out and cut it down, and put the pieces in the back of the toy hauler. The skylight in the shower leaked, and the hail beat the shit outta the bathroom vent cover, so it leaked.
After we got home Mon, I started getting a really bad cold, so here I am, feeling worse than hammered puppy poo poo.
Oh, the truck had a glitch in the Allison transmission. It downshifted 2 gears when going downhill, instead of just 1 and made the engine go to about 4000 RPM's, and that ain't too good for a diesel, so it's back in the dealership now.
Hey, no biggie, it can all be fixed. Just takes money. Some insurance money for the trailer (just got my check today), and some Chevy money for warranty work.
What a weekend, I think I'll stay home for a while.
