SUNNY AND STILL STICKY IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING. SUMMER IS STILL HANGING ON. NOTHING ON THE AGENDA, ABOUT TIME TO GET MY DOVE GEAR IN ORDER, CHECK BATTERIES FOR THE MOJO DOVES, ETC. BETTER DO THAT THIS MORNING BEFORE THE BARN HEATS UP. DARLING WIFE DOING VERY WELL. I THINK THE PT BUNCH DID HER MORE GOOD THAN THE DOCTORS. THINGS SEEM TO BE RETURNING TO NORMAL, BEST CAN REMEMBER WHAT NORMAL IS--- THERE ARE THINGS I COULD DO OUTSIDE, BUT THE ACCEPTABLE TEMPERATURE WINDOW IS NARROW. REMEMBER YOUR REGIMENT AND FOLLOW YOUR OFFICERS. |

Good morning.
Glossing over yesterday’s topic, it’s nice to know that the heat is our current biggest concern. I too have felt the loneliness of the dwindling number of cronies. As it would happen, we have one of our “mini” HS reunions this week. We had one in June, but only one or two from out of state could be here. So when a spot opened up at the park shelter, we grabbed it as it happened to be the Saturday most out of towners could be here. The therapy folks do wonders, as was said yesterday. I’ve been given the okey-dokey to ride the Zero Turn, but not the walking mower. That’s a big help. I’ve had real problems getting the kid to show up, and it’s too late in the season to get on anyone’s schedule. Once again, the plumbing gremlins have started running amok. This time it’s the kitchen faucet. I put new O-rings in it yesterday, but it’s got too much lime in it to get the new rings to seal properly. I might try it again. But I fear there’s a new install in my future. Right now, it’s pretty difficult to get on the floor and then under the sink? I’m going to need to think on this one. Fortunately, I get to end on a fun note. The Hot Rod Power Tour is coming through Dayton today. I’ll head over to the new fairgrounds to do some watching and maybe take a stroll. Between the heat and the leg, I’m not sure how long I’ll last, but I’ll give it a try. Have a great day all, and try to stay cool! |

MAJOR repairs on the 2015 Suburban LTZ. Originally brought it in for an oil change. Got the front end rebuilt, shocks and struts all around, front hubs, bearings, rotors and brakes done. Then I took it to Firestone for new Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza H rated tires and a lifetime front end alignment. $3850 in parts, $850 in labor at the shop then another $1138 at Firestone. Around 88000 miles on the vehicle. I should be good for awhile with that one. It was due I guess for some major work. I've driven it almost 5 years on just oil changes, two new tires and a new ONSTAR screen. The newish tires ended up getting cupped on the inside. Oh well. |

have fun John and let's see those pics when you get back. I have always wanted to go and then every time I plan something happens.
Tommy - just OMG. I'd freak if I got a bill for all that with a vehicle that had no more miles on it than that one has. |

Hey guys, Hot day here. Went out to look at a job early and when I returned, Rosie tells me there is water in the basement.....I have my own plumbing issues, Bob. I hate F@*king plumbing. Well, the water heater was running water out about as fast as it was coming in. Turned off the water and called my buddy the plumber. Talked to him and he called his supplier, they didn't have to one I needed to replace it (50 gallon power vent), they had a 40 gallon on, but we need the bigger one, so I looked on Menards and they had one in stock. So I headed over to the 'city' to pick it up. Got back about 1pm and my buddy was here about 1:15 and by 3 we had it back up and running. Pretty much a wasted day, as far as getting any work done. Tried to pay my buddy, and he wouldn't take anything saying I help him when he needs it, so we'll trade.
Coming back from the 'city' thermometer was reading 108. When I headed out to the dump to get rid of the old heater, it was reading 109. Triple digits on tap for tomorrow as well. John looking forward to the pictures. Bob, you could post some from the "tour". Tommy, it seems a bit early for those kind of repairs on the sub. I got Rosie a new bike. One she can step through as opposed to throwing her leg over the seat. She's had problems since she fell and broke her kneecap. She loves the new bike. It's a Schwinn and it peddles like nothing and goes like she's trying to go 100mph. Gris, I bet you will find an overabundance of doves out west, they are thick around here. |
