What if it Snows?

Austin has been a #### hole since the 80s. It might have been worth going in on a Friday/Saturday night for live music, but the "keep Austin weird" people got what they wanted. Most Texans don't claim Austin or Houston.

 

What a day. The shipper F/U the second stops order so that took a mere 5 hours.

1 Hour of DETENTION ( always moist and delicious )

SO

This puts us squarely behind the 8 ball not for pick up, was a D&H, but for delivery.

To complicate matters never considered THE BLITZ.

And accordingly the nice trailer we dropped has now been replaced by one that's 10 years old, and has one of the front marker lights out.

SO

The truck has stopped at an indigenous Love's with a current 5 hour wait.

The OM is not pleased.

 

Through a miracle of modern truck driving we still might make our drops on time, now taking our 10, and probably getting a very restful 45 minutes sleep sometime before we leave.

There is chicken. And there is coffee. The OM is pleased about that.

 

"Peabody" is the one to use, adds class. Was once on a Bassett hound in one of our neighborhoods. Peabody weighed say 45 lbs, had 4 inch legs,30" long, belly just cleared the ground. He arose and traveled away from his home. But at lunch time, he was toddling back. Nice subdivision with gated (1 wide ) entrance. Peabody on right side headed home left. Everyone knew Peabody and waited for the crossing to finish, slowly. Halfway across, he would stop momentarily and glance toward the stopped cars and seems like say: "What", then meander on.

 

I80 being almost a constant construction zone makes Jersey seem like the other side of the world.

 

Got a new oil pressure sensor for blue bird. Since my oil pressure gauge was going bonkers and noticed some oil dripping off the sensor. Im glad i have small hands, they tucked that frickin sensor way back in there so hard to get to. And those electrical plugs never like to come off easy. Then i had to get the sensor off with the impact it was so tight.. There is an oring on it , why so tight? It was painted red so i take it that its the original sensor from the factory. 7 years old. Not bad.

Finished up the ramps on the back of the frame. Got ramps and frame drilled and bolted together. Only used a couple drill bits. But started small. 1/4 to 5/16 to 1/2 inch. Ran the drill nice and slow and some gear oil to lubricate and was able to get thru fairly easily. Gonna bend the excess metal off the back with a torch. But that will have to wait until tmrw. Its to hot now.. Time for beer.

 

Pictures???

 

I knew i forgot to do something. I will remember to take some once i take the fire hammer to it to bend it and get it all finished tmrw.

 

Soooooooo the dude from Love's has knocked the light back down inside the trailer, now they're saying it's hopeless, need to get inside trailer.

Trailer is fully loaded. How they going to get to the front anyway?

 

Loves mechanics always find a way to screw something up worse than it was.
