It's 88.7* here on the coast. All I have done is looked in the mailbox and got the spacer for my upcoming piston lift pump install. I got the pump yesterday and all I'm waiting on is the hard fuel line.

I can't imagine being out in 113* heat. I remember back in KS when I was a kid the temps getting to 105* with high humidity. We stripped down to our shorts and jumped in the blow up pool in the back yard or else played with the hose and sprayed each other. Fun times. Simpler times. Meanwhile it's only 78* in Tulsa.

Robin is on the phone with her brother in Tulsa now. I heard her say "HOT, Trade ya"

Gotta brave the heat again and finish things up and install a new draglink. Took apart the old MityVac yesterday, put some nail gun oil on the rubber and it's working again.

I needed new E-brake cables last fall, and looked at all the brands out there and the Raybestos ones were the only ones I could find that had the rubber boot over the cable end. Sometimes the pics they post are just generic, but I ordered them anyway, they showed up with the boots.

This morning I cut out a set of floor mats that fit. I bought 6' of 27" wide bulk floor matt at home cheapo last Friday. this morning I made a template for the doorsill side and cut out the length at 32" Then sharpened a piece of chalk and followed the lint of the transmission tunnel. I am pretty happy with how it came out. took about two hours. mostly finding and cutting the cardboard and going back and cutting the radius on corners(after thought)

Looks good Mark!

Hey Mark,
That looks like the same carpet I use in my truck over my padded carpeting,
I do fjnd that after about a month I start to wear a hole in it from my heel, but no problem, when it gets bad enough,
I cut a new one and Evie gets this one to chew up.

Jim,
Why would you let your wife chew on a floor mat? That sounds crazy, man !

Lol

Hey NJTman

It keeps her from chewing on my tires

Evie Elizabeth is my crazy dog,
she is a Siberian Husky/German Sheppard mix,
German Sheppard on the front and Siberian Husky on the rear, literally.

She is a year old and she has chewed up everything in my back yard, all of the sprinklers and drainage system I have installed, she has dug them out, she has chewed the wood siding off the house, chewed through my newly screened patio door, chewed a hole through my back garage door,

I caught her dragging a 12 foot long 2X6 across the back yard and my daughters old tire swing across the yard by the rope.

My once grass back yard looks like the military does artillery practice in it.

As she was pulling on my new 50' garden hose, she got it caught up on a drinking fountain and snapped it off creating a geyser in the back yard and mud everywhere which she enjoyed herself in before she came and jumped on me as I tried to shut the water off.

Geez I hope her full size brain comes in soon, people tell me they don't grow out of their puppy brain for at least another year.

I have bruises all over me, she runs all around the back yard with her mouth open and tries to lick me but her teeth get in the way.

I think she is also part Bat, she sleeps all day and runs in circles and does most of her work at night.

I have always had purebred loving Siberian Huskies not Tasmanian devil dogs.

Love her to death but she is a handful.

Finally fixed my starter relay and harness that went bad a few weeks back. The 25 year old relay crapped out, and I temporarily put a used relay on there, but the harness end was sloppy. Now there's a new Hella waterproof harness end and relay, which matches my JIm Lane headlamp relays.



Parts listed above

Looks like colored spaghetti.
Glad you got it fixed

NJTman

This is true, but I know what each piece of spaghetti goes to. The next guy ??

Well he's out of luck....
