Pretty fast weeks flown by since last post.
Truck issues fixed for the lovely tune of 640 bucks.
First > The engine light turned out to be a stopped up vent over the gas tank which caused the gas tank to be removed to get to said filter.
Second > The AC leak ended up being one of the lines going inside the firewall needing to be replaced.
In getting the truck back, I tried out the AC and all worked fine. Come home and parked truck till the next morning and the battery was flat dead. So, put my big charger on it and Luce and I got in the Corvette to go for our morning run about. I did leave the AC and Recirculation on , along with the fan. I did hear the fan shut off so it much be something in the AC that not shutting off. No matter, I just make sure I turn everything off now.
Next was Corvette problems. When going to get Bar Be Cue meals Saturday, It didn't want to start as normal and notice it was idling ruff at stops. Finally , died a half block from home and would not start. So, with help of 3 neighbors, pushed it in the driveway. A few hours later , went to check it and it started normally. Sat there letting it run and reving it up a bit. Then pulled it in the garage a bit and notice smoke coming from under the hood. Killed it and got out and noticed a lot of fluid in the diveway. Open the hood and liquid everywhere. First thought it was the AC unit as lots of fluid there.
So, let it set and called guy that was buying it from me to let him know about the car. So far still wants it. For next two days, car would not even fire, just turn over. Finally weather changed to dry air and I got it started. Hmmmmmmmmm. Let it run and notice spray of fluid coming up from front of engine and feeling like antifreeze. To dark and too much stuff in the way to see much more. So , shut it down and put a trouble light in the front of the engine to help dry out the opti distributor. Started yesterday with no problem. Have not called buyer on this as he's suppose to be here Saturday to pick up car so it's gonna be a pleasant surprise for him for it not being the AC pump like I first thought.
Have locate a C5 about 40 miles away I want to go see already. If it seems all okay and I can get him down about a thousand , may buy it.
On me < The healing continues and can do more and more without the chest bothering me. Was even able to fire up the little lawnmower yesterday to mulch some leaves.
The there was the eye doc appointment yesterday. Got tired of WalMart and went to a local eye doc. After exams and all, time for surgery on the cataracts. Left eye only and can't see out of the right anyway from retinal damage years ago. Appointment with new eye surgeon next Friday. Guess this is gonna be Rebuild AC year. Sigh.
