Awake: 6:46am Temp 45 sleep 7:02 sunny overnight @ Bushnell, FL.
During our pit stop @ the Newell Service dept October 30th, one of our motorhome glitches was a (12) volt blower motor that froze up; after Roger replaced that motor, I asked him if he was going to toss our old motor? “Yes unless you want it” he replied.
Today I hauled it out, pull it apart into (3) pieces & then, took a few continuity readings which all checked good. One thing I finally noticed: the motor shaft was gummed up near the sleeve bearings. Using my Emory cloth, I clean up both areas of the shaft, lubricate & reassemble. Now the shaft turns freely. I have no time to apply power to the motor today but will save that for another day.
Mid afternoon, Kathy & I walk the campground for (30) min of exercise.
We watch our usual TV shows before, during & after our dinner of: Tilapia fish, 4-bean salad & 4-rice medley.
Late evening, I call & talk with Kevin about his furnace ills & the small motor that may be the culprit. Melissa talks briefly & then one of the boys awakens; end of our call.
We finish watching: “Destination Tokyo” with Cary Grant, John Garfield, Alan Hale, John Ridgely, Dane Clark, Warner Anderson, etc. Suspenseful WWII account of U.S. submarine sent into Japanese waters & interaction among crew. Commander Grant, seamen Garfield & Clark ring true. 1943. I liked it but my 1st mate would rather it to be a musical.
Lights out: 12:23am
