My crummy almost went toast over the weekend. Blew out two intake gaskets. 10 gallons of water later I finally made it back to the house. 600$ to get it fixed. Im a pretty good mech, but whats under the hood of my Sonoma is far beyond my skills. Way too many plugs, wires, fancy plastic stuff for me to break anything. So Im back to driving the beat up old Ford for now.

don't let them put the dexcool " orange" coolant back in it. good old green reg coolant works with out the problems. hell id have done it for 400.;) still keep my ase cert just in case i have to get a shop job again. i've redone so many gm intakes i lost count since they started using that stuff. even started seeing it in chrysler products when they started too.
 
10-4 on paying attention. And No on the mining anything, they out lawed any mining on the chetco, we had it run out out of the banks last week and might doit agian later this week got a good storm heading in tues night, it'll be back in loab park and atrivers rv park agian:msp_thumbup:

The word chrome is analogues to steelhead and salmon haha.

Getting the snot nicked out of me by the skid line and slipping and falling on a stob. Taking it to the side of the head. I think qualify. Plus moving continues. I don't mind cutting wood but moving 8 cord sucks.

Don't move then :msp_wink:
 
Or maybe you should move out of the way of the skid line at least...

Ya 10-4! You know how it goes. Turn lands, quick look up, on the way in, look where the hook is, grab the first bell and BAM! Picking yourself up out of the chute wondering where your hard at is, while getting hammered with hurry up whistles. Lol
 
Is it weird that I kinda like the bit where you can't hear, nothing hurts, you don't know where you are, so you start counting fingers and toes, and then some one is in your face hollering something about how frickin cool that was, and inquiring as to whether you can feel your feet...:rolleyes2:

If'n you'll be that close to the show grounds they're gonna want you to "volunteer" more often...

I do thank you for the offer for working on it. Bad thing is, I live down here and your up there. Towing would cost an arm and a leg. The mech already put in the reg green stuff. Bill has been working on GM products for 30 some odd years. I guess it pays off work grow up with his kids. Never know what you dont have to pay for. Bad note, since I get paid friday. I'm going to have to change out the oil the put in my truck. 5 quarts of Royal Purple and a new oil filter.
 
I've been using an old coffee cup for a rain gauge. Maybe I better get a 5 gallon bucket.

That's what I use. The bad thing is that The Used Dog will drink from it. The Grapple Cat will also sip from it if we have a 5 gallon storm, which would be a bad thing. So, I guess i need a formula to compute the likelyhood that a dog has interfered with the rain total, how much he lapped up, and then how much rain has fallen. My head hurts already!

Or, I guess, I could build a 5 gallon rain gauge platform that is dog proof. I guess.
