OSUT 258: Better late than never....Summer Days are Near

[patience0830]

I'm shy on powder and primers for this bunch of 9mm I have ready. Been shopping.
Still suffering from sticker shock.

Been a while since I had a close up reality check, I suppose.

Midway or Natchez shooters supply was having a sale. Best I've seen lately is about $75 a brick.

Afternoon all! Susan took the van to the mechanic that fixed it last (she called and he said he'd take a look) after picking it up from Meineke. She took him for a ride and got it to make the sound again. He said, "That sounds like it's coming from the roof." She pulled in to a neighborhood and he got out and looked. Sure enough, there is a piece of "weatherstripping" or "trim" that had come loose and was flapping in the wind and hitting the roof. So we just need to get some Gorilla glue and glue it back down. Mystery solved!

While she was there, he hooked up her antenna wire that had come loose from her radio. All this for no charge. She did go back in and "tip" him 30 bucks though. Wish we'd have taken it to him in the first place. It did need the CV axles replaced, but I'm sure he'd have been cheaper than Meineke.

Had some epoxy out in the garage, so I mixed some up and used that to glue the weatherstrip down. Should be good to go now.

Good evening….feels like summer is back.

Howdy greg. Feels good out right now with the low humidity, but that's going to be changing.

Just got back from the park. Our son (3) met a little girl (a little older) played in the creek... I caught a catfish with my bare hands.

























ok. It was a baby catfish. But I still caught it with my bare hand.

supper, maybe enough for him

My dad took his cars to this one. "Bud" Hartman was the owner/operator. Now his sone John owns/runs it. The shop hasn't changed a bit in well over 50 years.

if you can find a local guy that is good and you can trust I would stick with him, even if it is clunking all the way there from Meinike

I don't know why we didn't think of him first. But then again, he might have missed the CV axles after finding the true source of the noise.

or the CV joints could have waited?

Sounded like they were pretty bad. About all the lubricant had leaked out.
