That Car:
For today:
To be straight forward, Sherry and I have NOT been effected very much
with this Covid Medical problem. That is
until today. As you know someone has messed with the ‘supply chain’ and many of
the products we take for granted are not available.
We made it thru the terrible
toilet paper crisis! I know that was tough on some folks. WE didn’t have a
problem I learned, as many others did years ago, there are leaves, corn cobs and last year’s Sears and Roebuck Catalog, many alternatives. LO.
If it is a ‘food chain’ item, those I can live with (or without) and if necessary find a replacement. No corn, I get cabbage, etc.
BUT,
but technical products are different. Say your electric range losses one of the
cooking elements. They may be hard to
find because it will take a ‘specific’ design. That is what I have run into. I
have 3 ‘foggy’ windows in this coach (Meaning the double pains have moisture
inside the panes). I decided to rebuild
them because buying them is close to $1500.
To fix them I must take the glass panes apart, clean the insides and put
them back together. I found the materials on line for about $200.
(Part needed is the spacer 3/16" call me if you have some. LOL)
Ok,
I settled down. I can wait. But now I cannot say I have not been effected. But
hey, we have plenty of toilet paper (I think)!!!
Y’all have a great day, Life is still GOOD!

I think everyone is waiting on something. Parts of any kind cannot be found. Glad you are resolved to patiently wait. It wouldn't do any good to get upset. There is plenty of TP here too !
I never got why a respiratory illness created a panic for toilet paper, lol :) Have you looked on eBay for that part? That came to mind when I was reading this. Why, I don't know, but who knows, you might be able to find it :) Otherwise, you know what they say about patience. It is a virtue :) And March is just around the corner!
betty
Oh m'gosh -- is there anything you can't do, Jack? That looks like quite an undertaking. Dumb question -- is the spacer thingie something you can create yourself?
Wishing you and Sherry a peaceful New Years Eve!
We thought too, that Johnny Cash's car would be a fun one to see and ride in. It got me thinking about your situation....maybe, just maybe, there's an auto junk yard around that would have an RV with good windows still in tact that you could get the spacers from...just a thought. I'm sure the glass is tempered so be careful not to crack them. If only we knew. The huge safety window that was in our son's metal shop was just smashed. It had a spacer that's now far disposed of...not to get your hopes smashed too. Good luck with that. Perhaps do what Bill would do. You guys are ingenious inventors. Make one.
loven'hugs from up north in our very frigid surroundings. Happy New Year !!!
