You saw what happened the last time she got on a camel and they're about that tall.

Worse.... I thought I had a bearing out in the rear. Took it to a mechanic I know that's got 25+ experience with Mopars and he said carrier bearings. That's beyond where I need to go so I let him have it. He got it apart, pulled the carrier assembly and said he couldn't find anything wrong with it. By the time I got there he had the rear back together but had found the problem. The RF wheel bearing is going out. Believe it or not, it sounds like the noise is coming from the rear. We both were like

Called the dealer, $462 plus tax. Napa, $416 plus tax. Advance says they have it for $239 plus tax. I'm going to go look at it first.

Took the wife out to olive garden, I love to spoil her
Been farting with my shop sink, got everything hooked up good, one of the valves were leaking. Pulled it BACK apart, seen a little PVC cement got on the threads... cleaned it out, we're waiting to see the verdict...
Tired. Had duty last night, probably got three hours of sleep... I was gonna take a nap today, but never got around to it. I'm sure I'll sleep good tomorrow.
See ya'll in a bit.

Nah, actually, it got on the lip of the fitting and caused it not to seat right. I was just being lazy in my description. I had a short piece coming out of a 'T' so I could put my valves in, some of the cement leaked over...
Got some ice on the elbow, need some for the knee and hand/wrist.
Bout to get a water trough and fill it with ice water and lay in it. Weakling.

Morning.
Today is Saturday, October 30th.
On this day in 1735 - John Adams, the second President of the United States, was born in Braintree, MA. His son became the sixth President of the U.S.
1875 - The constitution of Missouri was ratified by popular vote.
1938 - Orson Welles' "The War of the Worlds" aired on CBS radio. The belief that the realistic radio dramatization was a live news event about a Martian invasion caused panic among listeners.
1943 - In Moscow, a declaration was signed by the Governments of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and China called for an early establishment of an international organization to maintain peace and security. The goal was supported on December 1, 1943, at a meeting in Teheran.
1945 - The U.S. government announced the end of shoe rationing.
1972 - In Illinois, 45 people were killed when two trains collided on Chicago's south side.
1995 - Federalists prevailed over separatists in Quebec in a referendum concerning secession from the federation of Canada.
Slow history day!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Do pyromaniacs wear blazers?
Coffee and ph00 is ready. Wait a minute... didn't 5ver say he was going away? Scratch the ph00!
Last fire prevention event of the season today. I like what I do, but I'm ready for it to be over for this year. Roughly 60,000 people went thru the trailer this year from May 'til now. We have over 5000 smoke alarms to give away and 20,000 9 volt batteries. Maybe they'll all be gone by noon so we can come home early!
