52.6F @ 13:00 with light rain/mist, likely for the entire day ... high might hit 54F.

Probably try and get carb rebuild for the Echo blower done later today, in anticipation of nice weather tomorrow (58F and sunny)

Checking the extended forecast, I only see one 60 degree high predicted and it's 10 days away so who knows whether that will ever come to pass or not.

Assuming I get that finished and get the thing running, I might drag the car ramps down from the shop to the garage and run The Woman's car up on 'em and see if I can figure out what part of the exhaust system has failed. Hopefully, it is something that can be fixed relatively easily - cut out a section of pipe and replace just that. I've priced the exhaust system itself @ Autozone - parts alone are close to a grand. Guess I can't complain too much - it's a 15 year-old car and this is the first time we've had any problems with the exhaust system.

Finally got around to doing a rust/sediment drain of the hot water tank - first time since I installed it about 3 or 4 (or 5 ?) years ago ... definitely was some crud in there. Will probably drain out another bucket today and see if I get any more crud just to be sure.

But first I have to start on the really important stuff: fixing The Woman's washing machine ... it might be under warranty still ... but probably not.

Got the truck back...the code (for the Check Engine Light) was for a malfunctioning Power Control Module. However, the mechanic just cleaned all the connections off and reset the module (disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes). He said, if the light comes back on, it will have to be replaced. So, pulled out my check book and he waved it off...we'll worry about it if we have to replace the module.
Can't ask for better service!

low seventies out, just beautiful after the rain went through.
going to go wash the truck on a nice afternoon.
Roy, good news.

 

[RoyJackson]

Roy, good news.

It'll be good news IF that light doesn't come back on! But, I doubt if I'm that lucky...truck does have 145K miles on it.

RS, you are looking in the wrong catalog.

How about off a wrecked vehicle? junk yard? particularly if your vehicle is high miles

Then there's always a couple of wraps of sliced up beer can and a few hose clamps. :stirthepot::laughing:

Well I fixed my Dads' tractor - easy just told him to get a new battery While I bury one of his old cows with my tractor.
The club car has a difficult bolt that needs soaking overnight and I'm hoping the thinning wire it's connected to is the culprit.
And my you know who called, her 15 minutes of fame is not dwindling it is swelling up like a Tsunami. Things are in the works. More to come on that as things solidify.
On the small side of it our little news paper called and it is a slow week but they couldn't get hold of her, I got them together and you guessed it - front page material. She's loving it.

Good evening all. 52F and overcast, and gusty South wind. High was 75F, intermittent sun, and very gusty. TMA today, bike ride (rain tomorrow) and a trip into town for shopping.
