What did YOU do today?

[superj]

i am trying to stay awake and make it through a boring rainy day at work so i can go do blood work. insomnia and no food makes you more tired than normal

 

[Xombi]

Today I change the oil, check the fluids, and finish by turning the Ranger over to my friend Frederick, who just turned 80.
Everything is sorted out and it rides too hard for me.

Huh. That's something I didn't know. My bad @MaicoDoug, I was wrong.

Depending on the year, the split floor and dash selection also runs the A/C. I forget when they started doing that. My '98 didn't have A/C. The 2019 finally caught up with the times and made the A/C a separate option, though I think it still automatically comes on when you select windshield.

 

[sgtsandman]

The 2019 is packed, the grass has been cut, and the trailer has been prepped. I just need to finish the laundry and take a drive over to the beer distributor for some adult beverages for us. Jessica is in charge of the food, and as per her usual day off, scheduled way more crap than she should have. But she usually gets it done.

I uttered a curse word while changing the oil. Napa Gold oil filters are now proudly made in the Peoples Republic of China, a source of quality products recognized world wide.
I can get Wix from another supplier, and will do so next time. Open the box when you are in the store to see where the product actually came from.

I picked my plums, there is still about half a gallon of half ripe ones in the trees but I had a bumper crop!

Drove my Ranger through the river and over the woods.

Hosed the truck and specifically the bed down, gravel dust is a force to be reckoned with and I didn’t have time for a full wash. Loaded most of my stuff, some of my friends stuff. Also put in that air filter I bought the other day. I love how easy they are to change on these trucks. One 5/16 nut for the hose clamp, and the rest is toolless.

Get to grandma's house safely?

Within the last 3 years Wix was sold to Mann and Hummell who discontinued a BUNCH of Wix products that were good and replaced them with sub par components... so just add that to one of the many automotive things that the rona situation screwed up in the automotive parts world... so many things are discontinued it is not even remotely funny... The timing of that coincides with the prices of oil filters doubling or tripling over the last couple years...

The console and shifter disassembly & cleaning went well. I saw all the bolts they striped out, it was clean inside, think they simply badly kinked the shift cable, still a little stiff. Lubed. We'll see.

Forecast calls for rain today, doubt it.

Belton hamfest is coming up for all you ham radio operators. Belton Hamfest. The yellow sub attending.

That AC compressor copied Volvo's design that had some sort of tilt plate inside that allowed the compressor to throttle itself at other settings, and YES it does run when not set to just the 2 settings. Cold air vs cool ambient air is a thing down in this part of the south I must say! We know when "it ain't werkin". Early 2000 when they started running it all the time to some extent. My '83 never had Ac and I lived in Tempe,AZ for a year~

Cut the grass? ha! I'm up to my second set of blades this year. Still waiting on speakers & dynamat for the subwoofer project.

Still enroute.

Drove the 20 miles over to the Habitat ReStore to donate long leftover plumbing and wiring supplies.

Bought a stout come-along for 20 bucks while I was there. Made the trip worthwhile for me.

I seem to recall a YouTube video on this very topic recently.. Royalty Auto Service maybe?

Edit:

if anyone's interested in that.

Grandma's house is OVER the river and THROUGH the woods.

THROUGH the river and OVER the woods might be the way to the witches house from Hansel and Gretel? Or maybe just where to find a campfire pizza?
