    Dyslexic procrastinators untie! ...yesterday.

    So many unique and equally hijackable replies... So little clean ones... (For the mods. You know they wash these threads daily!)

    Last day off today, back to work tomorow. Finished re-wiring the passenger side lights on my pick up. Went down to the yard to get my big truck ready to roll for another week and had totally dead batteries, got my booster cables out and got it started, found that my trailer lights are staying on even with the key off. We had a bit of a rain storm here yesterday so maybe some water got into something and is creating an open circuit. Didn't bother too much with it, just unplugged the light cord from the trailer so it's not drawing down the batteries again overnight. I figure it's not so bad because they're staying on, at least they are working. Will maybe rectify itself tomorow with some driving around to get things dried out. Added some engine coolant, gave the front end a quick hit with the grease gun , tidied up some paperwork from last week and called it good to go.
    Dropped into the grocery store on the way home, made up my lunches for the week, got the house ship shape and now stretched out on the couch enjoying a bit of quiet time for the evening.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    If it ain't one thing it's several.
    Parked on a slight uphill at the office what suspiciously looks like a rear main leak.
    On the way into Houston my left rear tire went bye bye. The most recent tire I put on the front has turned square.
    I went from the office to Sumner and got two bins at roughly 100# and went to Houston Heat Treat. Then to Jet-Lube right off of 610 and got an 861# pallet going every bit of 3 miles to World Trade Houston.

    Sat around a while. Sent I was going to get truck inspection that I needed to get for registration.

    He sent ok. Then stick around for a minute.
    I sent picking up down this way?
    He sent where are you?
    I sent Manchester under 610.
    He sent never mind go ahead and get inspected.
    I sent I did.
    He sent head north then.
    I sat under a tree outside SDV.
    At 4:30 I sent I need to go home to get another tire. By the way a piece of metal about 6 inches long, 3/4 wide and 3/16 thick is what took out the tire.
    Road construction traffic as far as I could see started about halfway through Shepherd.
    I bailed out and went the long way by the Livingston dam to get home.

    Going to try and get registration and some tire work in the morning.
     
    Rocks and Vilhiem Thank this.

    Yeah, right now I'm having to do the same. Supposedly after they've enough data it goes to random requests and once a year.

    At least last night the mask didn't get ripped off... Though I slept from 17:30 yesterday to about 8:15. We shall see how I do tonight when it's time to sleep.

    @Dave 1960 You okay buddy?
