Hi everyone. I have been reading this site for over two years but have never posted. I have learned a great amount of usefull information from all you willing helpers. I now find myself in need of some expert help. Six or eight weeks ago I determined that I needed to replace the turn signal flasher unit on my 4905. I called Luke and he promtly sent the new unit to me which I received. Here in lies the problem that I need help on. What did I do with this new part? Can anyone tell me what I did with this part?

Red,

I call that a well hidden spare.

It will reappear as soon as the new one you order arrives, and not a second sooner.

From one who knows......

Yea, I know exactly where it is. What is it worth to you for me to tell you?

Seeing as how it is a flasher and a very easy install, maybe you installed it and don't remember doing it and if you did, and you still have a problem, maybe the flasher wasn't what you needed in the first place! :-)

As a last resort when I can't find something I ask my wife.

Sounds like my problem: #1 get part from Luke #2 lay down part in house and will take it down to shop on next trip #3 Make several trips to shop forgetting to take part along, as I"m not working on coach at present #4 Wife reds up house as we're getting company or what ever and relocates? part as she sometimes doesn't know what it is and i"m not around to ask..or puts it into a bag with other what-nots and promptly forgets where it got to or whatever#5 call Luke and order another flasher #6 receive second flasher and promptly take down to shop, where I find first flasher or wife finds bag with other flasher while redding up the area she stashed the what-nots. At least you now have a spare.

It is almost right were you left it, only you knock it off the tool box corner and it fell into the screw driver draw when you bent down to pick up that screw drive you dropped, then when you closed the screw driver draw it got jammed up and fell into the next lower tool draw below the screw driver door. Just a wild guess, I wasn't really watching you work! Happens to me all the time, obviously.

As my kids got older, I hid all my "contraband." Now, whenever I need (want) some, I have to ask the kids where it is because I never can remember where I hid it. Funny thing is, while they know exactly where all my hidden contraband is, they never can find their own coat, shoes, or schoolbooks/assignments.

One time long go.I sent away for a comlete set of dash board lights for my Ford 9000 $$ I opened the box sitting by the wood stove..
Next day
I asked the wife where is that box I had here last nite? OH! she replied I thought it was empty and threw it in the stove.
The original lites melted from the heat inside the lights.She put the new ones on the FAST track !!

Red,
No matter where you put it, it will be in the last place you look.
About 6 or 8 months ago we had a brand new bag of onions fresh from the super market. The next day when I went to make my prize winning Spaghetti sauce, no onions were to be found.
Now it's months later and we stll haven't found them.
They haven't started smelling yet, but how do you lose 5 lbs of onions in a 35 foot bus??

DDEC-or-AAADD. (from the archives) :-)

By ED-NJ (67.85.226.217) on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 06:25 pm: Edit

When I read this I thought that someone was following me around. You know like one of those reality shows.
>
>
Recently, I was diagnosed with AAADD: Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:


I decided to work on my Bus. As I started toward the garage, I spotted
the mail on the hall table I should go through the mail before I
work on the Bus.

I lay the Bus keys on the table, put the junk mail in the trashcan
under the table, and notice that the trashcan is full.

So, I put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first.

Since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash
anyway, I might as well pay the bills first.

I see my checkbook on the table, but there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk,
where I find the bottle of juice that I had been drinking. I'm
going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the juice
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

But the juice is getting warm, and should be put in the
refrigerator to keep it cold.

Heading toward the kitchen with the juice, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye. They need to be watered.

I set the juice down on the counter, and find my reading glasses,
for which I've been searching all morning.

I had better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water
the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with
water, and suddenly spot the TV remote.

Someone left it on the kitchen table. Tonight when we sit down to
watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will
remember that it's on the kitchen table.

I should put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll
water the flowers. I splash some water on the flowers, but most of
it spills on the floor.

So, I put the remote back down on the table, and get some towels to
wipe up the spill.

Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to
do.

At the end of the day: the Bus has not been touched, the bills aren't paid,
there is a warm bottle of juice sitting on the counter, the flowers
aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook

I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't
remember what I did with the Bus keys.

I'm trying to figure out why nothing got done today; it's quite
baffling because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really
tired.

I know this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a favor, will you?

Forward this message to whomever you think might enjoy it, because I
don't remember who I've already sent it to.

Of course there is a way to improve this, I have found in the course of treating that "sidewalk lobotomy" from a few years back. OMEGA 3+6+9 with DHA (natural from fish oil). taken with food twice a day for about 60 days show remarkable improvement for most stress exacerbated neurological disorders in mammals. You can find it at most Drug stores in the herb & food supplement section for about $20 for 120 capsules. You can reduce to one a day after 3 or 4 months. Stuff we use to have in our foods before modern diet techniques destroyed there existence. cheap and safe experiment for any mammals. Belief not required! I don't even need a lease these days.
