Morning Don, Mike, Rikki, Lil Red

Bear helped me burn branches, the trash can i had sticks in didn't survive.

Lightly raining so perfect burn time.

Debating what to have with bacon for lunch... Hmmmm

Yes but these aren’t as blemish free as the previous set. There’s a scratch on the bumper probably where they weren’t careful in pulling it and a very small dimple in the trunk lid. The poor car has been through a lot and I don’t want to get my son anything else because I’m not sure what’s going to happen to it at WVU. For the cost of $450 it was worth it though.

I still need to get the right exhaust tip over some, but it’s a lot better than what it was.

Service steering warning came up on da Caddy the other day.
Following the service manual troubleshooting found the abs module bad(beats the rack whew).
Had a spare module so tried it today, hour and half to remove and half hour back together. Blown capacitor in it. Error gone but I'll hook the tech2win up tomorrow and calibrate the magna steer. One bent bolt and one missing bolt so as they say... Somebody was there before me, which having owned since 30k must have been very early on in it's life. Had to run a tap into 2 bolt holes which was a blast and took half an hr.
I can repair the old one if can get the goo the use out and find new goo.
It will be nice to have power steering in parking garage this week at dr appt.

Speaking of which the meds they are/will be giving me have some real nasty side effects such as loss of muscle mass and basically no energy. Alot of guys never regain muscle nor get energy back even after stopping treatments. I was warned that regular and alot of exercise will be needed. Good thing I seldom lay around and stamina is about back to normal.
Not gonna lie if those side effects are very bad I will stop the meds or they will change them as to me that's not a very good quality of life and thus what's the point then.

Hi all. Hope everyone has a good Monday.

Nicole, I’ve just been on hiatus. Hard to handle all the barn fun, I needed a break.

Good luck with the meds, Rod. I have a physical tomorrow and hope to get a passing grade. It’s been a minute and I’ve been in better shape.

The bucket of bolts gay ass red C4, the Garfer, as Jimmy aptly named it, is sputtering/missing a little but otherwise still running strong. Going through the process of figuring out what’s up, hope it’s not serious. Distributor cap and rotor replacement coming up. Yep, it has one of them distributor things. Can’t seem to find the points to adjust though. I ruined my grandson. He loves the car.
