I disabled facebook, no one wants to get up, I am bored and nothing to do

I guess I could work on laundry some more, seems it never gets done

Come on over MrsG. Since I haven't been feeling well, my place is a mess.

I pay in AMMO!!

 

[chocktaw2]

riddle me this. I bought a pair of shorts to sleep in at the camper, we don't run the a/c out there. I brought them home and washed them. Now I can't find them. Where the hell did my shorts go?

Hubby wearing them?

 

[MrsGungho]

no thanks sam

I could clean here but that would require running the vacuum and waking people up who don't want to get up

 

[MrsGungho]

Hubby wearing them?

umm have you seen my hubby? he wouldn't be able to get them on!!

 

[SEIndSAM]

BBL, the Mrs is making a Carrot Cake for her Mom's birthday get together. Gotta run out to Kroger and get some stuff.

 

[MrsGungho]

feel better sam

I am off too. I added some shows to my hulu account, gonna go watch some

 

[chocktaw2]

 

[SEIndSAM]

Wow, I hope that Carrot Cake is good, just getting the stuff we was out of was $20.

When did Vanilla get so expensive. Bottle of real Vanilla, Kroger brand was $8!!!

Well crap... no driving the truck to Evansville today. Looks like it's leaking tranny fluid.

Mornin' Sam, chocktaw...

Ouch, that's not good.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Ouch, that's not good.

No, not good at all. We just had the transmission rebuilt 2 years ago too. Wonder if it's still under warranty.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

At least I think it's tranny fluid. DoggyMama has the truck over at her cousin's... I'm just guessing from the puddle in our driveway. It's oily, but seems to thin and too clean for motor oil...

Power steering fluid is about the same consistency.

Power steering fluid is about the same consistency.

I'll check it when she gets back... That would be better than tranny fluid. It's not reddish like tranny fluid usually is, but the new power steering fluid I have in the garage is clear, not brownish like this stuff.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

This looks like clean, thin motor oil... probably about 3 or 4 ounces' worth in the puddle.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

What's worse is, this could nix our trip to the lake next weekend. Dammit.

Hope it's a PS fluid leak, that's way cheaper. Any tranny work is expensive.

You ain't kidding... about $1K to have it rebuilt! I can put some leakstop in the power steering unit and probably be okay for a little while. I really need a new truck, but was hoping to wait until the car is paid off to get another one. I mainly use it for hauling mulch, firewood and towing the boat, so it doesn't get driven that much. I'm going to cross my fingers that it's only the power steering.

How are you feeling today Sam? Still under the weather?
