Only 7 Weeks To Go!

..Will they find my tongue stuck to a flagpole?


Better half tells of the "service engine soon" light on the chev 4x4, and she takes the 2nd truck for the day, leaving your faithful servant to fend for himself on the corporate chopper.  Left at 10:30am, and it's 34 degrees.  I need either (1) a windshield, or (2) one of them DEA face masks.  Four more rides that day, and the temp never got above 46.  Needless to say, the 50's are now a cake walk.


Our thanks to "Butch", who, for a bag of fresh grapefruits, carried in a brief case and a hook up for the truck's diagnostic jack.  Within minutes, he was able to define a problem with the oxygen sensors.  His suggestion (use at your own risk), for owners who experience a tick tick tick in their tappets, is to drain out the old oil, leaving in the filter, put in 3 quarts of transmission fluid, and drive the truck for a block or two, return, drain and change back to regular 5w-30.  One tappet in my 6-liter beast has been slightly noisy on start up for the last 3 years, but on the morning he shows up, it purrs like a 10wk old kitten..


Speaking of which:  


Now we know who's boss around here.  After the old age demise of 2 of my three pets, just 3 months apart, swore I'd never bury another, after the last passes.  Two weeks ago, the "half", and her best friend conspired to sneak a little all-black kitten into the compound, and of course, the little b----rd loves me.  What's not to like  :} ??  Here we go again.

Cold Weather Making you miserable?
