I was doing some work on my older blogs this morning and came across this  post from November 2008. I’m going to run it again because I think it’s an issue that at one point or another, most men, particularily motorhome owners must deal with.

Enjoy

I’ve always preferred Cialis myself, I think it’s the fact that it’s good for up 36 hours. sometimes I get sidetracked, you know, forget what I was going to do or forget where I put something (it started with keys), so  the extra time feature works out quite well. I see they have a new one that you take every day. I’m not big on putting chemicals in my body (I’m OK with alcohol, but we all have to draw the line somewhere) but it could work out good. As I age the forgetful thing certainly ain’t getting any better.

I’m telling you this because we had a similar kind of problem with the jacks on our motorhome. When we were pulling out of New Orleans while the other three worked fine, the left front jack stayed down. Put less delicately, I couldn’t get it up.

Now, think about this for a minute: You’ve talked for days about this next leg of your trip.You are all set for  new adventure, all prepared to hit the trail and because of a mechanical failure all plans must be aborted. Horrors! Even the dogs were disappointed.

 I got underneath and poked and pried and got it so we coud move the coach. I left the jacks up for a couple of days til we got to Mustang Island where I had more time to play with the problem. I put the jacks down, sprayed them all with Jig-A_Loo , pried and pushed and got them all up, then repeated the process, and repeated the process and repeated… It was getting easier but still needed some help. I left it alone for a couple of days assuming I would deal with it again when we moved on.

So we are getting ready to move on, when a really excited Marilyn comes racing around the motorhome. “Your jack is up Larry, your jack is up” She yells happily. Now even the dogs are excited.

Now I don’t know if it was all the attention and gentle stroking or the Jig-A-Loo, or a combination of both but I do know that that’s a job that Cialis or Viagra couldn’t do.

Hmmmm, I wonder what else that stuff will work on. Maybe I should pick up an extra can….just in case.
