Sounds like you got the bad luck that wag hanging over my head for a month or so. ...

Difficult to see leaks when the ground is already wet.

I would kill for an early turbo tail. If/When you put this on your car take the grill out before you close it. If you get it off and it latches you car reach through and unbolt the latch.

yes, but the ground isn't wet AND green.

here are the pictures of the failed part:






the old one is pretty warped.

i took it out for another drive and it appears to be holding water. and it is raining pretty good, still.

Mrs. Carrera informed me when she got home we were going to Sam's for a fruit run. They do have some very good fruit at good prices. Anyway since we were going we ate there. One hot dog combo with a medium drink and one hot dog with just water. $3.25 cash. I am just a big spender. We both got full. They are Nathan's hot dogs just like they serve in NYC.

Early this morning chopped up a pork chop and put in in a pan with a clove of garlic, some chicken broth, left over mashed potatoes, diced carrots, diced onion, a chopped strip of bacon, and some ranch style beans, salt and pepper. cooked it on low with a lid on all day long. And that was a challenge, Mom kept turning the burner off. Poured it over some toasted left over corn bread, yummy.

Good Friday morning folks.

We had some rain on the drive in. Just enough to wet down the street and make the Elky a real mess.

We love our doggie door almost as much as the dogs love it.

Last weekend was very nice on Saturday. They went outside at 11:00 or so and did not come in until 5:00 except to get a quick drink of water. They acted like dogs all day.

Oh great. The rain must have farkled the network at Kimray last night. That means every couple of minutes I get a copy of a help desk submission of something or other not working right, then another one canceling it when they realize it is working it just took a minute or two to wake back up or they had to turn their printer on for it to print.

Everyone KNOWS all problems are YOUR fault. It is just common knowledge.

A doggie door might be an issue for me as we live on the top floor of our condo building. That first step down is quite a doozie.

LOL, that first step reminds me. When I had my other dog she went with me everywhere. Was at a place that had a loft. She followed me up the steep open stairs into the loft no problem. But when I climbed down she was very unsure since you could kinda see thru the steps. Saw her balking at the top of the stairs and without thinking held out my arms and said, "Jump". She did without hesitation, all 70 lbs of Golden Retriever right into my arms. Don't know which of us was more surprised. She was such a great dog, still miss her.
