 As usual, when I checked into the hotel yesterday my card key didn't work and I had to go back and get another one.  My room wasn't the best room in the place either.  It had a bit of an odor but the A/C worked good. When I got up this morning I found that there was about 2 inches of sewage that had backed up out of the bathtub drain.  I packed up my stuff, went to the front desk, and got a new room.  This one was much better.  Stuff like this almost always happens to me when I get a hotel room.  It is so rare that check-in goes smooth and the room fine. Unbelievable!!!

 Went over to International first thing this morning.  They diagnosed the problem quickly.  Has a couple issues.  The bad part is that they are backed up and won't start working on it until Friday, and then it will be there over the weekend.  I had them call the folks in Carlisle to let them make the decision on what to do.  They said to keep the truck until it is finished.  Once again, I'm in a hotel.

 Was at the John Deere dealer first thing this morning in Plant City.  Got there before they opened.  The gate was open so I went in and unloaded the mini-excavator and waited for them to open.  Once they got there and I got my paperwork signed, I left and drove over to Pompano Beach.  Shortly after I got started that way the "check engine" light went off.  Arrived at the Dealer in Pompano and unloaded the wheel loader.  Left there and headed north.  After several communications with the shop, they decided to send the truck to an International service center and get it fixed even though the light was off now. So I continued on up to Jacksonville and will go to International in Jax first thing in the morning.
