Yeah, I don't really care for it either but for some reason I always get glitches with wireless, maybe I'm just buying the wrong ones I had a KVM before for three machines, it was really cool.
Sounds like that project is going pretty good, you know you'll pay for that on the next one.

I had the ford back together by noon Saturday. Then I fired it off and filled it back up. Ran it around the hood a bit to get things warmed up and sucked down. Had to rinse everything off underneath to get all the old antifreeze off the skid plate and out of the frame. Let it site a little bit, topped it off and sent it down the road. No leaks and staying cool. All in all this had to be the easiest pumps I have changed. Except the one on my '56. Less BS to get to it.

What a crazy week. Taxes are done. Getting a couple bucks back Really need a wall and concrete guy(s) to get this side yard done. Been working on getting the old wall footer out. It's been fighting back. Need a jack hammer to give it an attitude adjustment.

Called the body shop the other day. Looks like another couple weeks. Body guy from his injury had one of his little fingers amputated from the infection he had. He's working on getting the strength back in his hand to be able to handle body work and buffer.

Where did the weekend go!!. Saturday the washer decided it didn't want to spin any more. SO off we went to find a washer so laundry could be done. $700 later we have a new one. Old one I think mosses used. Been making noise and getting worse. Spent the afternoon swaping them out then went to the folks for dinner. Sunday cleaned up that mess on the patio, Sprayed the weeds and checked on the kids truck. Not sure what it's doing. They told me the two nights it got down in the 30's, it leaked a little antifreeze. Not seeing any signs of a leak. They were saying other than that it has been good. I think it's got the Blues Oval.

Yeah, ours took a $hit about 6 months ago, after 10 yrs. Things shrink up when it gets cold probably why the leak, then seals back up when it expands after it heats up, could be just a hose.

Keeping an eye on it. Not much I can do if I can't see where it's coming from. It is possible that it's a hose, but what hose? I double checked to make sure the clamps were on good.

Check the weep hole if you can on the pump, that's a hard spot to see sometimes, but if it's just seeping out you won't see a drip since it dries off before it has a chance to drip, but it will show a trace of water coming out.

I can reach it and is dry. But then again, the temp outside was warm and the truck wasn't cold but had a little temp to it. We are going to keep an eye on it and see what happens

Been a crazy busy week and didn't get a whole lot done over the weekend. Did get the garage cleaned up and replaced the reflectors on the boat trailer that were one by one falling off. It's not like they were 23 years old or anything. Weeds got sprayed so they are on their way to the promise land before the weather tomorrow hits. Also cut a board to go under the new PC to get it up off the carpet. That was just Saturday. Sunday watched Drags and then the Demo Derby out at PIR.

Well, at least you accomplished something I did manage to get some work done on the boat, just need to bolt a few parts in once this rain stops and it'll be ready to put up for sale.

Exactly, don't make sense to just keep repairing it to just let it sit. Wife is talking maybe getting a Pontoon after we sell this one, just walk on-off instead climbing in-out.

Saturday got the yard mowed. Master bathroom the sink has slowly getting worse on draining. Got that unplugged. GF mom had a cheesy little antenna to get local channels. Split the connection from the home made antenna up in the attic and ran a cable to her room to the TV. Getting way better reception and more channels now. Didn't give the trucks a bath with more rain coming in.

Well, at least you got something done, didn't get much done here with the weather, on and off sprinkles most of the day and breezy, so stayed inside for the most part.

Weed fairy has been here and not playing nice. Spray the weeds, it rains and spreads more weed dust. Be nice to get a couple weeks to get caught up on things. This weekend have no idea what will get done. Next weekend is a 3 day weekend for me and we have the AZ Drag Racers reunion Saturday the first. I think I'm going to take a few days off just to get away from work. We want to go to Vegas for giggles to get away. She hasn't been and neither one of us gamble. So we will be going to see the lights and check a few things out. But we can only go Saturday thru Monday since she baby sits the 16 month old grand kid.

Yeah, weeds are getting out of control here, been wanting to spray but don't do any good with all this rain, need a couple of good sunny days so they can absorb the spray, maybe by the weekend might be able spray, I hope.

I was able to get the weeds sprayed Saturday. Didn't get to the trucks bath. Now they are saying rain again this Thursday. SO I got a few little things done around the house. Three day weekend this weekend so we will see what gets done. Saturday is the drag racers reunion that we will be going to. I need to call and get the floater over to Octane to get the impelled in the drive replaced. Then we will see if it get used or gets shipped down the road.
