    Let it not be said I'm not a nice guy. Before I left with Lily, I climbed my fat butt up on Queen Bee's roof and fixed her swamp cooler as I could tell it wasn't cooling very well. Sure enough the float wasn't filling the swamp up enough and the pump was sucking in air as well as water. A quick adjustment filled it up to where the pump was pumping at full pressure and got the pad fully wet. :)

    Wasn't planning on still being here, but Covington Va getting some paper rolls. Caught a nap waiting on these slow folks, liable to grab another one. Smoke City bound.

    Made it to the Quebec customer 45 minutes early this morning. They did all the work. Back down to where most everything is in English.

    The guy at the receiving office greeted me with a "Bonjour". It was all I could do to not bust out giggling, thinking about that insurance comercial with the lady and her french model date. "They can't put anything on the Internet that isn't true"

    Checked the trailer in at Albany, NY. Here til Monday morning......sigh

    After the tank wash guys left for the week, I changed 2 intake actuator valves and a engine coolant diverter valve coil (that sucked) in about an hour and a half. The white whale seems to run a wee bit better. See how it pulls Monday.

    Kudos to my shipper. Despite being 3rd in line I had paperwork for in my hand and ready to roll at 14:05 and my appt was 14:00. Got to Effingham and saw them double parked along the curb so I figured there were plenty of spots in the back. There were. I know it's been beaten like a dead horse but it's something I just will never understand.

    @sshewins welcome back !

    @FatDaddy, finish 11/22/63 ? What did you think ?

    My trainer was a driver since the 70s and he would always park in the front. Didn't matter to him if it was packed....he'd always make a spot. His explanation was that even if he parked in the back, someone else would park worse than him in the front. LOL :crybaby:
