Let's hope for snow!

I am starting to get tired of all this rain and humidity.I's only been a week but all this cloudy weather does something to me.

I was listening to my scanner Sunday and they paged the ambulance to a place close to me.I thought it was right next door but i hopped in my car and drove to the end to find out that address was in a different sub division.They page cause some guy over dosed on oxycotten or something like that.We thought it was a boy Michael went to school with but come to find out it was his dad.

My car is what is going to kill me.Got the head so it works good and now the damn tire keeps going flat.I Yesterday i ended up taking the tire off and found out it was leaking on the bead so I ended up taking the spare i had in the trunk and taking the tire off cause the metal cords were showing.

yesterday i also got the head off the blazer and got my truck on the ramps so i could check the fluid.I drained out a pint and i holds 2 quarts.Stopped at the parts store to find out that manual transmission oil is between 10 to 12 dollars a quart.Put both quarts in but my truck still don't shift right.Might end up putting a new throw out bearing in.I will put a new clutch and pressure plate in also as long as i have the transmission out.

I guess I don't mind the rain. We can always use it. We probably should count our blessings, because we usually don't have enough. The humidity I can do without though. It's really the only thing that stops me from cutting wood!

I heard that page for the ambulance. I figured it wasn't your subdivision. The address sounded a little different.

Paint the damn bead and pump the tire up while it's still wet!

Wow, what kind of tranny fluid is that? It don't take gear oil? Shouldn't take very long to pull the tranny out of it. Crossmember, bell housing bolts, driveshaft, and it's out!

Yeah it shouldn't be too bad.Tracie's cousin said it could be the synchronizers but still gotta take it
out so might as well check the throw out bearing.

Got some better tires on Tracies car today.Should be ok for a while.

If you haven't noticed the address is a little different.Were in Beloit.Going to be home late tonight so i can go to Leads tomorrow to get the wood he has cut for me and maybe cut some myself.
