I have finally got my computer situation back under control and my emotions are starting to even out.
Don't worry you have not missed out on my putting a new fuel pump in the Chrysler. (Like you were worried about that.)
I've got more (too many) auto projects now ... I know, big surprise there more info coming once I get some sleep.
But on the other front, I will know by Thursday afternoon if my first attempt to reline a tractor diesel fuel tank has been successful.
I did drop in on Brian (DarthCar) up in Ohio when I went to my nephew's wedding. I was an awfully emotional, sad lady at the wedding in June. July was a little better and then we hit August and I'm no longer in the weeds. Still a bit of a roller coaster but its the short, mini one not the humongous giant one.
DarthCar and his seeing eye dog (new best friend) Benny are doing well. Darthcar's eyesore is still declining. Bummer.
This weekend, finally, the used rv is coming to my land and my brother is going to be moving out of my guest bedroom into his own place once we get it set up ... water connected ... electric ... and him moved out. Which really. means, I'll be able to start working on the downstairs walls and finish up my house before winter.... finally... after 7 years. Who knew?
I finally started the paperwork on the LeBaron and have two more tasks (hoops) before the Mighty State of Texas will grant me the opportunity to get a bonded title. Maybe by October sometime?
I am 2 days into the 4 days it takes to let the reline material setup in the tractor diesel fuel tank. So by Thursday I can put it back in the tractor and see if all my work has paid off.
I just had to put 2 new front tires on the everyday Ford Explorer and the night before I took it in, I managed to hit not 1 but 3 feral hogs cause like an idiot I was out driving at night trying to get home from a friend's house and coming over a hill there was a pack of hogs (over 20 but probably less than 35), all juveniles (shorter than knee height), headed north in the southbound lane.
I was headed south. So I quickly swerved to the northbound lane (still headed south), and darned if 3 idiot hogs were talking directly to God and decided to run toward the light (my headlights). The rest of the pack followed. I killed one as I ran over him, two more were wounded bad enough that coyotes took them down a few hours later in the bar ditch, and the rest of pack scattered. That was a year $950 damage (took out the radiator, ac condenser, engine shutters & motor for same, mucked up the front lower facia and air dam. Just a mess.
And you also missed the water leak down at the trust which occurred a week earlier. I've been digging the line about 2 to 3 hours a day for a week and after getting down 34 inches and still not at the leak, I gave in and called trained professionals. Two young guys about 20 years old and 6 hours later of digging and draining water, they were down 4 foot and excavated another 2 foot in diameter till they found all 4 problems : 1. cap at end of line failed or was never glued in (water leak); 2. shut off valve (commercial big a$$ thing) handle was gone; 3. thin wall pvc was used instead of schedule 40; 4. and the best of all they used a pressure coupling (o-rings at either end of pvc coupling on a 2 inch water line coming off a 4 inch mainline-- no glue/ no threads just 2 o-rings to hold all that pressure. And another $900 disappears.
Then the very next day, at the trust, the ac quits cooling at the house. Ugh. So go through the weekend with hot hot hot and on Monday morning the ac guy comes and $230 later with new capacitor installed and filters changed and rat poison bait in the attic, I have cool air again.
Did you notice there was absolutely no activity on my Chrysler in the past two weeks???????
I need a new project list.
Or maybe I need to re-order the projects on my current list.
But basically, I MISSED YOU GUYS!!
