Finished with the new desk and storage project for my room. And a different computer arrangement. All came out as wanted. 

After finishing that project and getting all working but the Dell computer as not ready for it yet, want to get another monitor.  Ask Bren if she was up to a Chocolate Malt from The Rocket and a ride about in do truck. And off we went. 

End up going near Hayes to check on one of Brenda's friends. And , onwards through Hayes and to Lake Arthur and back home. 

A little more dirt work at the new Jennings Elementary School location and the concrete piping for the drainage program. 

And did see they were harvesting the rice just South of here on LA 26. 

Love that I was able to get this pic into the sun. 

Vehicles need love too.

 Wow! Getting close to the middle of August already yes. 

With the hot weather , been using the truck in the afternoons cause that single cab keeps thing cooler faster than the Vette Coupe. Plus the sun heating up that big black dash. 

Finally after near 3 weeks I got my car back. Nothing done on the short problem but mechanic didn't really want to mess with that anyway.  The A/C pulleys and tensioner and belt changed out plus put the new belt on the main pulleys.  350 bucks and I'm happy with that. 

After the car sitting for so long I put a new fuse in and tried it out figuring what ever was wet done dried out by now. Surprise > all working again till the next rain < so I thought.   Wanted to redo the wiring for the day time run  and signal lights and soldier them instead of butt connectors. Last time I redone them the running lights didn't come on but since it was going to the shop the next day didn't concern myself with it. figured a bad connection. 

Well , got it all fixed up properly and still no running lights.  Hmmmmmm. In the house to check what fuse is in charge of that and saw #2 fuse under the hood.  Yep, blown. New 15 amp in and all is good. 

So , put car back down off the jacks and decided to check out the system for the wet blow fuse and bingo, it blew as soon as I turned  the multi switch to run lights. Chassis twisting reactivated it.  But , being as I don't really drive at night in that low car, I can live with it till the weather cools off and I get the car up higher to go hunting with a short finder I was reading about. 

Also, seeing how much mileage before it tells me to change oil. At over 10K miles on the last change and at 14% oil life left according to the car. 

And that brings us to Da Truck. And getting in it to go to the graveyard for my walk about, Change Oil Soon  comes up on the dash.  But I just changed the oil/filter 2400 miles ago. Hmmmm did I forget to reset Oil Life.  Not sure.  So 38 bucks later oil change done. And see the trans output seal leaking again.  Had changed that about 5 years ago. Again,  a winter job LOL. 

That's it for today, Till the nexty.

7 Aug 2020

And the old air operated lift that has help me service so many things and especially my bikes is finally gone to a new owner.  As I have motorcycles no more, no use having it taking up space in the shop. Now the hunt for something smaller to work on my lawn mower when needed

And the Vette is still at the shop and I begin to wonder about my choice of bringing it there.  

And notice yesterday that dirt work has began on the new school for Jennings on LA 26. 

Also took a run by the Sunflower field at the junction of LA 99 and 102 and they have all died so many seeds available for sure. 

And that pretty much catches up activities for this entry.  Am doing some garden work as planting some cantaloupes in one plot this week and fixing to plant some cukes in the next few days. 

So till the next!
