    Well 12 hours ago I was in my yard running a chainsaw bucking more firewood.... Now I'm on a dock at a reciever for a sunrise appt in God's Palace.

    2 straight weeks of home time made me lazy... I did NOT want to get in the truck tonight. And to make it worse I had to make a run to the hardware store for parts to fix my pickup just to get to the truck. I started my pickup to warm up, 5 mins later I came back out to find it pissing motor oil from a blown oil pressure guage line.

    Not the first time it has happened, but I couldnt seem to find the extra parts I purchased last time it happened. Luckily ACE Hardware was both open and had what I needed. Yet again I purchased extras... They are now stored in the console of my pickup... Right where I thought the others were at.

    Some day you will clean it out and realize you have five of them and hold a yard sale.

    Mine just got extended for another day to my pickup not wanting to start. :biggrin_2552:

    Looks like the batteries crapped out. I had a feeling that might not have been too far off, since they’re still original.

    Now I’m waiting for the nearest auto parts store to open at 7:30.
