Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: U joint & windows

 

Oh I forgot you were up there!  Gosh you're lucky that it's still so nice up there.  It's barely past 8am and already over 70 according to the thermo on my deck. Gonna be near 90 again today. Everything is brown and grass fires have already started!  Two of my 75' hoses blew this week! (they've been repaired about all they can, thankfully I buy the life time warranty type and keep the warranty & receipt so I'll be off to Home Depot one of these days) Had to fill a 5gal bucket with water then hike to the chicken coop and talk myself into lifting it up to the hook around 7' off the ground to hang it without me wearing it!  I did it!  Whew. And just for more exercise I lugged a 50lb bag of feed down there too! OK so it wasn't for more exercise, it had to get down there somehow, or they would be eating out of my back seat!

Have a great weekend!
