That is very cute. That had to be a very well trained dog to hold still for that photo.

66°F and no rain last 24 hours.

Mechanic comes today to install water pump. Ready for him. Changed the filters, new oil, new coolant ready for when back together. I had told wife that if for some reason Larry wasn't available today or tomorrow I'd install it myself. After cleaning the surfaces and making new gaskets my determination was tight quarters were the greatest challenge. I'd rather keep Larry happy just in case of a future need being I know very little about working on diesels.

Be safe
Have a great day

A rainy 55, with 71 on the way. More rain, off and on, all week. I priced a few new trucks over the internet yesterday...wow on the features and double wow on the prices. It's been 15 years since I was "truck shopping." I also looked at the Costco Auto purchase process and it looked pretty good...they connect you to local dealers that have pricing Costco negotiated...not sure if better than I could do on my own, but heard back from one salesman with a price much less than I expected and less than True Car suggested. Of course I haven't seen it on paper, yet, so there may be some add-ons. Anyone familiar with the Costco program?

Sorta used Costco when we got the 2012 Tundra. Negotiated a price over phone with salesman who had previously sold us a vehicle, not returning the calls from the Costco generated contact. When we went to sign the paperwork, I pulled out the Costco letter and gave to him saying, "what am I supposed to do with this? He replied, " you were supposed to give to me at the beginning. Let me talk to the manager." He came back with a $1500 price reduction. I was happy.

We got our June Readers Digest today and it had a article about dehydration.

There was a study and it showed that mild dehydration may impair heart function and contributing to artery hardening as much as smoking.
The study was done on young healthy males but it is a reminder for us to drink often especially now in warmer weather. When we get older our sence of thirst diminishes and that's why we dehydrate easier.

With 2 trips to the ER for dehydration I consider my self an expert now. My DW (dear wife) has warned me next time she is not taking me to the ER I'll have to call an ambulance. I set a timer on my phone every hour and stop to hydrate.

More beer is better. ��


I had a good day, just got back from my neighbors, I tilled up a garden spot for them. The Kubota with a 72 inch tiller made short work of it. A good day!

You can get badly dehydrated drinking beer. A few friends and I floated the James river one day and I drank water the other guy in my boat drank beer. He was very dehydrated and his legs cramped so bad he could not walk on them. Some water and salt and he was fine. Ed

Could you send your dog to my house? My wife is very busy and could use a break from cooking. And cat tastes good if it is cooked right. Ed
