This year there has been more repairing than I can ever recall any other year. One thing after another was breaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fixing started with cell phones. I repaired a Samsung Note 10. That repair didn’t go according to plan largely due to me learning how to do microsoldering. Then the car was needing some repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the car I setup a new pool heater, and Hubitat home automation system. Which lead me to repairing the trailer and resealing multiple windows around the front of the RV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then my wife mentioned that the bedroom was too hot, and so I recommissioned the minisplit that wasn’t working correctly. After that was replacing the seals in one of my dirt bike front shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then had ball joints to do on the 1989 Ford Bronco II. That was a big job to do because of all the parts that needed to be replaced. Which then lead to working on the 2021 Ski-doo Summit 850 turbo snowmobile. That took me a month because I wasn’t able to find the time to get to the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After All of that I then had another big repair which this time involved the 2009 Chevrolet 2500HD with the Duramax and the water pump. I took two days off and got that done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all of that I squeezed in some camping and dirt biking, but very little mountain biking. As I roll into November I am thinking that the number of repairs might slow down for a little bit, but I still have a few smaller items left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
