It is. Very dark sky at times, but it has not rained hard for more than a few minutes at a time over here.

Wondering if using the Mighty bottle caps will make the job manageable for one person to do.

If it works out - you guys are welcome to borrow it. (Has all the adapters to connect the clear line too, even if it's not exactly the right size....)

Rob, you are welcome to join us if you can make it on Friday. As for the Mityvac, I don't think you would need that to keep the resevoir filled. For pulling out the old stuff I had one of those plastic plunger things in mind that you use to pull oil out of diffs. Sort of like a dick stretcher kind of thing. I'm not sure what kind Steve has. I've never needed one.

It's rained hard up here in the Valley almost constantly all day so far.
Everything yellow and orange, with occasional reds. No greens at all right now.

Getting very windy, and I can hear thunder.

Really windy here, coming from the South. Strong enough for the landing/take off pattern at Long Beach to be turned around, so all of the incoming traffic is coming over our house.

Bully Dog "tweeted" this video last Friday afternoon from Speedworld. It shows a guy putting the slicks on their Pro Stock truck, but what's far more interesting is that it pans Nathan's folks motor home and Jeep as well as my truck
