just that sorta day,,,
Short day, started early to get what needed done, done. Went in a whole hour early for that, and still ended up wearing the MacGuyver hat for a spell. Gate diag; PICNIC error. Stop trying to cheat the controls and you might find the gate works better LOL.
Funny time at the Docs office. Da’s hard of hearing, I’m hard of hearing. I forgot my hearing aids so was using an app for ‘real time’ transcription. It works pretty good, but has some issues deciphering Appalachian. The transcription gets downright hilarious at points. Sorry, not gonna share that past what I just did. Not my information to share.
And Dawgum,,, Poor boy has some serious seperation anxiety at times. I guess that he still (at least emotionally) recalls being dumped off in the middle of nowhere. I come home from work and its Happyhappyjoyjoy, but if I take off again, the look I get,,, Heartbreaking,,, He’d rather roast in the truck and go along with than be left behind. When I brought Da home, Cozz and I jumped in Buffalo and went to the store and he was as content at could be, other than HOT. He’s finally figured out how to hang out the window without losing his stability. BUT, I still have to hold his leg or tail to remind him to not jump out at the rabbits or squirells he wants to chase.
and Buffalo, I’m thinking that sitting had more than a little to do with the misfire (DUH!) but when Cozz and I were out this eve, that misfire faded and stopped completely. I have been driving her daily even if only back and forth between Da’s and here. (don’t like short tripping, but,,, Happens,,,) She was back to full power on the highway again, and idled smooth at the lights.
So I loaded up Lyssa, paddle gear and some camp gear (shelter and bedding, not gonna need the rest as Brudda B is one Hella Host ) and she’s ready to go for the weekend. Just need a bag for the hygiene and clothes.
I’m pretty certain the misfire is due to a small headgasket leak on #3 as that is the only cylinder that ever trips things. Nothing in the oil, but I do get a reading checking for hydrocarbons in the coolant. Similar to the #5 issue from a couple years back. That’s ok,,, I have another block to put in, and when the holey trinity aligns, she’s next up.
SOOOooo much going on my little world: I try to keep up on current events, but seriously, nothing out there makes any damned sense anymore. A substack from Dissident Right illustrated that ‘disconnect’ quite well. “Like a defeated country reading the Treaty of Versailles and saying they were the winners.” Sorry, no link as I deleted the email earlier. Mea Culpa. It’s sort of nutty to read the news, put things together and come up with completely different views to what is being sold. Makes one wonder who’s insane: them or me?
So I go back into my little world where things still sorta make sense, the physical laws still apply, and bloody knuckles remind you “don’t do that!”,,,
Pipe still welds, gas still burns, and you can still buy most of what you need without a second or third mortgage. We’ll see for how much longer, no?
