Not sure Russ.  I will ask friendly neighbourhood mechanic next time I need work done (hopefully not for a while).


My gawd last week was expensive, though.  That's the cost of deferred maintenance, I guess.  Had been ignoring truck issues for ages due to it not being driven very much, and me having cash flow issues.


Started with an oil change and broken A/C.


+ new condensor
+ new battery (not charging)
+ wheel bearing (rusted out bearing = the noise I was ignoring)
+ rotors and pads (corroded)


At least everything is back in driving condition.  I did a fair bit of driving over the weekend (Oregon border and back) and MrLM will be heading up North in August to the Bowron Lakes area.

Limping.  Groin pull from training at taekwondo.

Teh sucks Russ!  Good luck in your hunt for a new tank.


Hey- question for you.  Last week I needed to spring for a new set of rotors (badly corroded) and pads.  Anything I can do to prevent this from happening again?  Truck gets parked outside.

Lunch today was yesterday's leftover steak salad from Bob's Burgers and Brew.
Them American portions are way too big.

Great news Goph.


Welcome home Russ.


Glad to hear things are shaping up, SD.

How do you do the broccoli salad with tuna? What do you put in it?

Chopped lettuce greens, chopped raw broccoli, chopped tomatoes, sprouts, drained can of tuna, homemade dressing.

Hope they don't put you on a cross-continental Greyhound bus!  It would be interesting...
But you are probably tired and ready to get home.

Lunch was banana, apple, rice cakes with hummus.Dinner was broccoli salad with canned tuna.

Lots of journal articles about income inequality in Brazil.

Blast of rain today was kinda nice.

Grapefruit.

Do you live in Vancouver, kitten?  It looks like the VPL has home delivery service:

I don't have nuthin interesting to say.

Dunno.  50?  I don't use the correct fingers, though.

I did know him, albeit not really well.
But I had interacted with him over the course of 12+ years.
He's also my neighbour.


I was asked to speak at the service, so I kept my comments fairly short.
