Morning all. You seem to be missing a wheel....... I looked yesterday the oil tank area is dry but will start there with cleaning the connections and work my way to the front.

Yea, taking the steering wheel off was easy. I don't even remember why that time. It is really easy to get off. Unlike the El Camino that needs a steering wheel puller.

I sent mine to Dallas Steering wheel. They replaced the leather covering and it looks like new. It was a perfect color match. It is the one part of the car that my hands touch all the time. The old cover was just worn out and did not look good.

It was a great fix, and not that expensive.

Prefer the grip of a Suede wheel over a smooth leather cover.

A Marine layer is not a prostitute near a military base.

Marine layer in San Diego is nature's air conditioning.
Our May gray and June gloom is from the heat in the desert 90 minutes east that pulls in our marine layer.
Fortunately we are a little bit inland maybe 15 minutes from the ocean so the gray does burn off sooner, normally by noon.

My mouse was acting like it was overdosing on caffeine this morning. The pointer was moving so fast it was really hard to get to the mouse settings and set it to almost the slowest setting. It is usable again. It is a cordless Razer mouse and I can only guess the driver updated automatically.

Oh well that is an easy fix.

Ted, I used to live in that desert east of you. It was nice to be able to drive to SD on weekends to get out of the heat. We were back visiting a few years ago so my daughter had he senior pictures taken at one of the beaches there to be different than all the other studio stuff.

We had sunshine, rain, hail, high winds, light breeze with more sunshine. I think Mother Nature is Bi-Polar.

Weight distribution hitch arrive yesterday and the delivery person dropped it in the middle of the driveway, blocking the drive. 140 pounds so it isn't like my wife was going to just grab it to get out. FedEx of course.
