    Put a windmill up, all will be forgiven.

    It can be a multi-tool if need be.

    TBH I was joking. I hate that the engine smokes like this. Just a few more weeks. The spilled coolant was because instead of dumping coolant back into gallon jugs, I dumped straight from the buckets. Funnel moved and I made a mess.

    Were not planning to. I also told Keri to STOP planning to rent a car from the airport. We can get a rental here at a much better rate and not have to pay all those airport addons. Nurse Ratched and I can pick her up and take her to the rental place. I have been looking at some BMWs online and Keri really wants one. She was crying a bit saying she could not afford one. I said to stop doing that. I was looking at this LINK and might well get her something like that. Nothing is set in stone right now.

    Looks like a Detroit 12.7. I put a couple old new stock I had for about 6 yrs. the housing leaked. Rubber gaskets must have been dry. Finally had to use some silicone on it. Funny I’m now in the same situation. Got 2 new thermostats, I had never put in. The inframe kit came with new ones. History repeats itself.

    Luckily Napa had two on the shelf. Sometimes I have to drive a little further because the local one doesn’t stock everything I need. Got everything sealed back up nothing appears to be leaking and I am actually building temperature so all is well for now.

    My old arm fired right up. Been sitting for a week. Looks like the new batteries are a success. Safety valve was popping on the compressor for a while before stopping. Put a half bottle of alcohol in the line, and both trailer lines. I knew I should have changed the air dryer filter. Wheel seal on steers leaking again. Same one I changed in summer of 2020. I must have damaged it. I had a hard time getting the hub/ wheel/tire assembly back on. So cold outside. We have a potential job for the shop. I hate to take it in though. They screw things up worse than I do. I’ve had a couple bad experiences already, with the same seal, done at Shops. Both times resulting in smoked bearings. One time new spindle. Rather do if myself.
