This morning I spent some time looking at the prices of 2-bedroom, 2-bath condos in southwest Florida. I am finding it very difficult to deal with the constant truck failures. Diesel engines are supposed to last forever and I have tried very hard to maintain the engine properly. But the truck is 17 years old, diesel engines are complex and even if the basic engine is solid, it is surrounded by lots of expensive parts that can fail. And they are failing with distressing regularity on my truck.
I am looking at used diesel dually trucks, too, but they are hard to find. And nearly as expensive as a condo.
I need to get to Florida before I can do either – buy a condo or upgrade the truck. So that is my main problem now – getting the truck repaired to get home. I am unsure what this means for the TS7 plans. Part of me wants to just chuck it all and head south.
I have already canceled my PA stop. Others may follow.
