Not Welcome Cold Stuff

 Well, the serious Winter made it's way to us down in SW Louisiana for sure. For sure not a fan of cold weather probably due to my years as a land drilling rig mechanic and the 50-60 hour work periods without sleep in cold rain and in the 30's and 40's .  Peeps that like cold weather  never worked outside much.  

Keeping warm and learning  Da Wagon is the main theme for me lately and it's absorbing into my old brain slowly on how the Infotainment system works and the DIC on the instrument panel.  

Did give it a good cleaning last week for sure. 


Even found  out I could haul 8 foot long 2X4 's  and that's it for the length. ;-)  
Did find the battery under the right side passenger's footwell. Did watch video's on changing the oil and filter. Did put a trap in the rear up to the back of the 2nd row of seat's till I get a floor mat later. 
Did find and photograph the information sticker hidden by the left side passenger's door. 


So I then found the complete file on what all those codes mean. And the important bottom one  BC/CC U 8624 which is the paint code.  Promise you, this bunch of codes exceeds my 03 Truck and Vette together on amount of codes. But, then it's 13 years newer. 

Did get a trailer hitch set up for it in but that's not gonna happen till it warms up. So, it and the parts sit in the garage and my room till that happens. 


And yesterday afternoon's broke faucet ordeal sealed my thoughts on that. Lucky it was at the Washing machine and not under the house. So, shut down the water at the city meter and took it apart and it required a trip to Stine's for 1/2 inch T and a couple nipples just in case. Only had to use one T and a new faucet to repair and get back in shape. 

Than done , wife says problem in the house.  Yikes,  filter above stove falls on open flame and catches fire. Which she quickly put out. So, looked at that filter system I've never liked that well due to not fitting tight but had never really studied it. Hmmmmmmm.  Being as she could not get parts for it locally to replace worn stuff., to the Inet I go with measurements and names on the hood. Bingo, Ordered new stuff with filters.  Bad was her being stressed out got her a bit sick so off to bed I put her. Much better later.  Told her,  " Don't stress, call me and let me stress out".  The look i got and the words " You don't know what stress is "  Hmmmmmm. 

So, that about catches us up but rest assure by this pic I saw and coped from a Vette Forum.
