Looks like we are going to have a dry day today... back to mowing...


Del my old Ford truck.. radiator went then everything else followed like PE. They are all the same age and like you, worn out. Then finally after those items were fixed the tensioner idler pully went shredding the serpentine belt. I am telling you this to prepare you. Then the alternar went. Then i sold it.

Morning all.

That's quite the hole there, Del.  What year is the truck?

PE, my dad and I have had to fix literally everything you just mentioned in our Blazer...Some twice.  Or thrice.   For some reason, we still have that car, despite the fact that we spent more fixing it than we did on buying it.  And we bought it close to new. :-\

Looking at rain today.  We'll see how that goes.

Kid, the last Blazer I owned was a 98 TrailBlazer I think. I went to put the bearings in the front, and snapped off a wheel lug or two. Get the wheel off, and find that my 2WD had 4WD hubs, doubling the price. Then I found out, there were 2 years that used special hubs made in Canada, special order from the dealer only, double the doubled price. Won't ever own a Chevy again.

The Wife's car is a 2005 Trailblazer, and so far it's the best car I ever bought. Had about 100,000 when we got it, 185,000 now, total maintenance besides oil changes and tires: 1 coil pack, couple of years ago. It's getting pretty high miles now, sure hope we can get as good when it needs replacing. Oops, forgot: the heater speed resistor continually goes out, but I blame that on the aftermarket replacement parts. currently has 1-3 out of 5 speeds working.

Nice day here on the coastal plain...except that it is an "ozone action" day.  I'll just breath through my bandanna, and it will be fine.

PE, we had an '03 Trailblazer for about 5 years.  The worst problem we had is that there was an electrical drain on it somewhere so that it sometimes didn't start in the mornings.  Besides that, we never had a problem with it.  Ours we bought at 120,000 miles, and we traded it in at 185k.  We have a 2010 Ford Explorer now, and so far it's been pretty good.  We had to replace the coil pack, but that's it. 
And then there's my truck.   '95 F150 with the 351.  All I've done is replace a couple belt pulleys and the oil.  187k miles and still gets 17mpg on the highway. ::)

I finally got the paperwork done on my new rifle.  I drove all the way to the city for it, with the dog.   I did learn that my dog does not like taxidermy.  She barked at the mounted bears and caribou off and on for 45 minutes. :P

Evening all.  I'll stir the coals.

Family is back.  A lot more dishes to wash now.  ::)  But the dog is happy, so I guess there's that.

SAR training tomorrow.  Last I heard, we were doing GPS, ropes and ATV training.  Sounds great to me.

First Saturday "off" in 10weeks. Off in quotes because I did go in to help the new substitute get out of the office for her first day, but now I'M FREE. And, when I got home and checked the mailbox, found waiting there my new bullet mold for the 8mmFrench revolver from Accurate molds. Sooo... when it cools off tonight, I guess I'll be melting some lead!

Congrats on the new mould. I have to be melting lead for .45-70.
