Weekly Update
A while ago Liz mentioned that she wanted a fan in her bedroom. I said, "That's nice."
So, a couple of months ago we were going someplace and there was a fan on the curb with a "free" sign. Liz picked it up and I took it home and checked it out and it all worked but it did not have a shade on the lights at the bottom.
So after I got it hung up I had to make the shade for the bulbs and drill two holes in it so that the strings that work the light and the fan are able to be pulled. The whole job turned out OK. We still need some strings with ends on them to finish it but the hard part is done.
It was in the 80's but the wind was blowing and it was a bit cool.
Liz steering the boat?
One last swim of the season.
A bit chilly.
If you are keeping track, my Blazer had a leaky intake manifold gasket and I repaired it.
My friend, Dean, came over and helped me install the manifold and pushed me ahead to get the job done. He then when home and had a heart attack, but he is recovering. The problem was that it still leaked after I got it back together. What had happened was I tore a hose as you can see and it was leaking where the hose was torn. I cut off about half an inch so that I could push the hose on further and that seems to have fixed the leak. No job is ever easy.
What is that!!!
The things you see when you don't have your handgun!!!
