Sounds like fun. I need to get mine back together and find a few dry days.

Power outages suck. We all forget how much a part of our lives are dependent on electricity. I hear people wanting to back to the 1800s. Not me. I like modern comfort.

I was just looking through my spam box making sure no legit email was in there.

I guess our little aerial company has good credit. Several different offers to lend us 500K. Where were they when we were trying to buy our airplane? It was "only" 240K, and finding a bank to finance was tough even after we had put down a large down payment in escrow to buy it.

Merry Christmas all.

Yep he did! I think he was teamed up with the wife since I didn't get a deer.

Another very damp day here. 98% humidity, and list mist.

The 911 did fine yesterday, and I am very near turning 198,000 miles. Almost broken in!

It will get washed this weekend when it is supposed to be in the 60s.

Pacing myself. Today recycle run, tomorrow oil change on the CRV. Saturday I plan to attempt the replacement of the oil level sensor on the 911.

The oil level sensor is not a bad job, just dirty.

Be sure you have the new cork gasket that goes under the sensor. Mine was leaking, and needed a slight adjustment to reflect a bit better the real level.

The tech section has many instructions posts.

Save it for the gas tank level sender. If you ever need to open the gas tank up, you will be in stock!

Another busy morning of playing Uber driver. I dropper her off at 9:00, went back to pick her up at 10:00 and took her with me to my doctor appointment. Then to lunch and home.

Morning all. Good idea Glen. It's probably no worth the trouble to ship it back.

Yea, the postage would be as much as the part. I have one in stock. I have several parts in stock just in case.

We actually slept in today. No events to attend, and no reason to get up early. The dogs were not real happy as they were about to die of hunger, or at least they thought so. After I was dressed I did feed them breakfast. They start hanging out in the hall watching for me to go into the laundry room where we keep the dog food at 4:30 for the dinner meal. They never miss a meal.
