Not a lot unusual in the last week or so in my world.
Corvette fill up with $3.10 gas and 21.1 mpg this time. Plus 2000 miles on it in the last 3 months.  Running good and all I need to work at this time is working.
The passenger armrest pad fell off the other day as the Gorilla glue let go. Put some Marine super adhesive on it and we'll see how that does. Works very good on my boat so.

Did get the raised garden plot near the fig tree broke down and the wood cut up and in the trash. The dirt spread out under the clothes lines and killed one small ground rattler in the process.

Shame but the truck gets dirty just sitting in the drive way. The dust collects on it during the day and the heavy dew make it run all over the truck. So, it's a once a week quick wash job on it.  Now need to wash both bikes a bit.

Did turn in the FD Barbecue tickets and money a few days ago. Did sell 170 dollars worth of tickets. That be coming up the 6th of November.

Been loving the no rain situation we've been having the last few weeks but really getting dusty and dry with some yards starting to get cracks in them. But, better than flooding for sure.

Did eat one of my Grapefruits off the tree and was very good.  Need to add some more potash and salt to it today with lots of water for sure. The peelings still just a little thick.

Kumquat tree starting to get some ripe but a ways to go yet. And, got lemons from a friend to do something with. Probably start on some lemon wine shortly.

Till the next.

As the time flies by! And, quite awhile since the last post. Several things happened in my corner of the world in the last few weeks.
On the Corvette; received and installed the replacement instrument panel. Requiring taking the bottom of the dash out and dropping the steering column. All went pretty good till putting the steering back in place and a relay falling to the floor. Went ahead and got the column bolted in place and started looking from where the relay belonged and could not find a place. So, Fired up the car and check lighting and things and finding the radio would not come on. So shut that down to go to the books and inet for answers. A few pieces of advice from forums and looking at the factory manual for my car and determined  what it was for so got a mirrow a few days later and went hunting again with a fresh mind and body. LOL! Found the relay to be plugging in from the firewall side and a insert by feel thing. That done, all works. Put the rest of the lower dash together and called it a done job and it's neat to see the LCD working bright now.
Had a Truck Show last weekend at the I-10 Park but didn't find out till Saturday afternoon and finally went Sunday afternoon. But, many were gone by then. Still, much to see and was amazed with all the vender tents there. Have to pay more attention to these show times in the future. A few pics from the show.

Dust seemed to be a problem with most the people I talked to.  Maybe next time, I can get to see more of the vehicles.

Sis in law from Texas got here a few days ago to spend some time with us. Really love having her here. She and wife been busy talking and doing things together since she arrived. This morning I ask wife what the agenda was and not known yet. Let the Winds of Fate do it's job.

This computer had a problem connecting to the internet and tried a few things but nothing worked. So , took it apart and blew it out with air, went and showed a friend at the fire station what I was looking at.  Came back and put it together again and lo and behold, Hooked up. Hmmmmmmm.

Till the next.

Yea! Finally got the windshield wiper motor replacement installed and all back together and working as it should. Took a bit of exploratory work on getting it back together and about a week as I would only do an hour or so of work on the problem then give my old back a couple days off to regroup. 
Then started on putting black felt on the dash to knock out the sun's reflexion with lots of fitting to make it look half decent. Works great on knocking out glare on my test ride with just the drivers side done. Now have the patterns cut for the passenger side and that's next. 
Then, there was the passenger door storage lid that was not right so took it apart of find all the screw bosses split  so working on that. Trying to find another without having to buy a whole inside cover but not much success. Also attempting to repair the old one with wooden dowels cut to size and glued in the right places. We'll see. 
Also , finally come across a rebuilt instrument panel for 200 plus 25 shipping with 30 day return. If I sent mine off , it would cost that to have it repaired and send back. So, that is on the way in and hopefully finally get to see a clear view of the speedometer and other things on the LCD read out. Then may attempt to repair that one or sell it as is. We'll see. 
Finally got a cassette to USB adapter so I can listen to my music instead of the radio. lovin' that. 
Not a lot else going on here that needs my attention and waiting for cooler weather. So, till the next. 

As days go by, and taking care of the body by not rushing it. ;-) 
Main thing lately was changing out the wiper motor on the vette because a circuit board is not available for this model. Ordered a whole used motor that had been tested and hoping to just rob the board off it for an easy swap. Nope, insides different so , though it will fit and work on a 95, tis not the exact same. 
So, get the old one out. Having to soak the wiper blade assemblies with penetrating oil to get the release to work. Getting them off and the old hose for the washer breaks but all good. 
Getting the wiper arm off the motor was not fun and yes on a magnet to get parts dropped in that space. Then the 3 bolts that hold the motor against the firewall was and experience. 

The tested to see if the replacement worked after hooking it up to the electrics and it did and that's good.  Getting it in place was it for that day as back was getting sore. 

Then the Stearman fly in 

was happening this last weekend so was there Saturday afternoon doing some pics and got to see a crash 

with an experimental plane that was there visiting and not part of the Stearman deal. Of course lots of private aircraft were there as this pic shows 

A day off and riding about on Suzy the Bandit was good. Due to no rain lately ( YEH! ) grass cutting is not needed , just a bit of weed eating here and there. 

Then back to the Vette and   it's wiper motor installation. Reassembled the ball joint arm which took a couple tries before getting it right. 

Getting the motor in place and getting the mounting bolts started was a bit of a pain but once got the 1st one started and figuring out the technique to do it, was not super bad. Had to disconnect a hose that was in the way and should of done that when taking the unit out of there. And , that was the end for that day. Letting the back rest. 
Not a lot happen since then as grass still good. But downloaded a book from Amazon and reading it via computer and Kindle app. About the 8 girls that were killed around here a few years back and all the LEO corruption happening during the period. Knew it was happening but keeping your nose out of it made for a better life. -) 

So, maybe today, get the car together?????? ;-)  
Till the next!
