Default 2 years in a row now!

am this is a pattern that i am not liking one bit!

Last year, 2 days before the hunt we had to rebuild the engine in the ATV.

Today - 2 days before the hunt
Get a call from my dad, hey the water pump in your truck is leaking

Now i got to put that on when he gets back and its freezing out.

Ah well, better to happen on the high way than on the back roads while hunting.

it never seems to fail.. when you have plans, something or someone has to mess them up.

We got a pretty good snow today and the winds were a little strong. But I am sure this will melt off. Still, I out the mowers away today for the winter, and got the snow blower out and tuned that up. Better to be safe then sorry.

No not yet. That is just my yard this morning. You can see where the high winds came through it. At least because of the wind and snow I did not have to split wood today..

true bronko. But i guess i cant complain, it has a touch over 180k on the original water pump. Just a shame i didnt have a timing chain to replace with the water pump. Its a SOB to get at. Damn GM 3.1 is a tiny little thing but the engineers who designed it make you take the ac compressor and powersteering pump off in order to pull the water pump.

Oh well, in an hour or so it will be back up.
