I know it won't be. I have enough to take care of. The boat is the one getting really neglected. I'm not starting anything new until I can get this side yard done so I can get things off the driveway and a trailer out of the garage. CE and I have been talking about a couple projects. One I will need to make room for in the garage. Then I have my bug/baja that I'm thinking about getting running and have some fun with. All of them are going to take some cash and time.

Saturday I got The oil changed in the Colorado. Had a little leak in the Malibu. Just had to tighten a clamp. Wind came up so I called it a day. Sunday I replaced the right rear window regulator in the HD. Then I drained the oil and replaced the cooler lines and filter and filled it back up. Lines have been weeping for quite a while. Also found the gasket Where the lines meet the block was leaking.

No more coolant leak in the Malibu. I have had an oil leak in the HD. Not bad but you know how oil spreads. I still have something leaking and it's not the lines. I have a feeling the front main seal isn't happy. Need to crawl under it and pull the plastic skid pans off and see if I can locate it. After 21 years and 163,000 miles Anything is possible at this point.

Yeah, 21yrs can take a toll on seals, especially with the heat it dries things up, if it's just minor seepage you can put an additive in the oil that will soften them up some that will stop the leak for a while anyhow.

That very well may be part of the problem. I only put 1200 miles on it in the last year . Granted it's insured as apart time driver, It needs to move more than what it has been.

Yep found that a long time ago, worst thing is to just let them sit for long periods of time, things dry up too much, and especially the front and rear seals, they end up sticking to the crank, then you have a dry start and that's hard on the seal.

Got the yard mowed and cleaned up Saturday. Sunday the frigg'n refrigerator decided to act up. Looks like all it needed was a cleaning underneath. I hate this refrig. it was the only thing we could find 4 years ago we could afford at the time. Looking at new ones had my knees buckling.

I think my Cable Modem is on it's last leg. Keeps dropping connection. I have a new one to be here today. Hopefully that's all it is. Of course it could be COX-suckers

Looks like we're not able to get Starlink until 2023. If it's better and cheaper than COX-Suckers I would do it. What kind of speeds are you getting? COX I have 250meg account.

Speeds vary sometimes depends on the traffic but it keeps getting better as more satellites are put out, so far the highest I've seen was 285 and 60 was the lowest but it goes back up quick, but it's wide open no provider to control anything, the best thing is the low Latency, when you click on something the response instant which makes it really fast, never had that with $hitlink or any of them before.

I can live with those speeds. Most that's streamed around here is the TV. I don't have time for any gaming and I don't watch to many video's. Will have to try to keep and eye out for when they get here and check their pricing and availability.

I have HULU right now. I think I need to go shopping and see what's out there. I got Hulu at the time it was cheaper and had the live TV channels we wanted. No matter what you get, there are going to be a crap load of channels you won't watch.
Saw on the news the other day that Mesa is getting Microsoft Fiber internet.

I got Hulu(No Ads), Showtime and Starz for $32, we had live TV for a while too and got rid of it because it cost way too much for what we watched on it, I still get the local news stations that we normally watched on Roku for free anyhow, so no sense in paying for all those crap stations, lol, and some I VideoCast from my phone all for free, there's also a $hit ton of free channels on Roku too along with all those crap stations you'd normally pay for.

I'm going to have to do some shopping and comparing to see if I can save some cash. I have the homemade antenna for local channels, but sometimes they get flakey for some reason. I don't think it's the antenna, I think it's just their signal. We can't get channel 12 any more over air.

I'm sure it's the antenna no reason you can't get reception there, maybe an adjustment or loose cable maybe?, indoor or outdoor antenna?, outdoor would probably work better I would think?

MAN!!! Been a week. Last Friday had a doc appointment then went to Sam's Club for a few things. $230's worth. Birthday party for the grand daughter turning 1 last Saturday. Left early Sunday for Laughlin. Had a good time. Wind SUCKED and was cold most the time. On the way home Tuesday went by the Harley dealer in Kingman and got lunch at Cracker Barral. We got home about 5. Then had to go to work this morning. Now to get the rest of this week done so I can get started on Next week.
