Picked up car (Explorer) from body shop Mon Afternoon as Deer damage all fixed, had it all last week. Looks nice wife drove home and then last Night eating dinner my upper plate split, Again, same spot as last, eating corn on cob with Chicken Rice and Veges. So recover my Immediate plate first issued. Still fits fine after cleaned and soaked awhile, cleaned broken one then sat down with some plans for camper work. Wife pipes up Car doing weird things, alarm on Radio screen and did not remember what it said.
So out to garage, no alarm no message. Go out this morning car grunted to start, radio had “Secured tk preserve power” message on screen, battery or connections so I start readying tk get to it and she drives off to work, 6am!
Gather tools, get work clothes on, wait to 7:20 go to the work lot, use my battery tester, already down to 10.6v, pull Battery head to parts store. Three year and two months old open cell. 65-2 common battery, $200. Take to car make certain connections clean and install. All back good memories all intact.
Call Dentist at 8:30, open slot at Noon to take plate in, suspect need make New Molding as something wrong with permanent Plate. Just great as likely another $2500

Took denture, made appointment Early, Assistant Tech sat me down and inspected the plate, Said what I was thinking, she went and got Shop Owner Dentist, she Looked at it, Mumbled some pretty serious expletives!! Had hearing Aids in!. Tech is a Cute Kid made her red face Embarrassed she would talk that way, Dentist stated again what was thinking. Was supposed to have been MESH reinforced as of Last Repair, NO MESH in the plate, She noted SHE Paid them for a MESH Repair and expected nothing less, all they did was a simple resin bond, she was ANGRY!!!! Should hear more next week as gets to Contractor.

Got all the supplies to Re Ladder the Venetian Blinds in the Trailer, Spool of Ladder String, Baggies of Ball Crimps(TINY), had a sheet of 1/2" and some partial lengths 1/4' plywood, then the Sheet Vinyl and padding arrived.
Couple Days work and got the Blinds restrung, constructed Stop Shelfs that used to be under the two Longer ones, Built the Oddball PI TA Valance at the kitchenette window and then completed the two side walls of the Slide out reinstalls., Final was used up remnant of 1/2", some remnant 3/4" and a 1x4 just sitting idly by made a Risen Shelf for the Stable End Manger for better storage.
Still awaiting the Upholstery guys to get the Sofa sections and Dinette cushions recovered, be ready for another wander.
