We did run into a problem when our vehicle died on us at the campground. We had to have it towed about 30 miles away to the nearest dealer, since we had someone check it out and he said the problem was the vehicle's computer. And of course, only the dealer can program a new one. The computer had to be ordered and shipped so it would take several days before it could be fixed. We left the next day in Wanda's son's truck and headed for home - had to be back to work for a busy weekend.
We are now back in Houston to pick up our car and return the truck. We will spend the night here and get the car in the morning and head back to Fredericksburg.
It looks like another busy weekend for us, so we have to wait til next week to get back to making our papercrete bricks. We are starting to get a lot of interest from our neighbors who have seen us out in the yard working on them. We enjoy telling them what we are doing, and they are very fascinated.
I am hoping to get up to 40 - 50 bricks a week. (maybe wishful thinking?)
Sorry the fish weren't biting but looks like fun. Was your truck under warrantee? Hope so...
ReplyDeleteNo, not under warranty. We have just over 100,000 miles on it. But we got it home and it did very well on the trip. They did a few other things to it while they had it - changed fuel injectors, etc. I noticed a significant improvement in gas mileage. Can't complain about that!
ReplyDeleteHello..I just stumbled across your blog and will now be checking it often. We have a cabin nearing completion about 20 miles north of Study Butte, but we went the simpler route of wood studs and recycled tin siding. Hasn't blown down yet.
ReplyDeleteWe know Frann, but have yet to visit her place.
Hope to make a return trip from the DFW area next month, if it cools off down there and the rains start.
Our blog is "mydichotomuslife"...hope to meet you someday.!
