Happy weekend to all of FTE! Today is tune up day. Going to take Froggy in for her annual checkup. Maybe I'll get lucky and they can find what is causing her to run crappy every so often, (although she has run fine ever since the 4x4 trip, I know it is just a matter of time before she runs crappy again) Also, sometime next week she will get new window lift motors, and a new stereo and speakers. So by the time of our GTG in Sacramento, she will be purring like a kitten, have an awesome stereo, and I'll be able to electrically lower and RAISE all three windows. Life will be good again.

I hate going to Pep Boys, almost as much as I hate going to Office Depot, or shopping at Newegg.com. LOL Every time I go to these places for one or two items, I end up with a shopping cart full of stuff before leaving. Went there for a major tuneup and oil/filter change, and while waiting for them to finish the truck I spent $600 on stuff in their store. Picked up 3 electric window motors, a headlight cleaning product (Don't remember the name) Locking gas cap, Hayden's largest trans cooler, a cordless drill and bits, and then the kicker, a Optima red top battery. So now, with the starter, and both solenoids being replaced, and a brand new battery, this Bronco should start right up.

When all was said and done, it cost me $1,100, for everything, and they did check for codes, but only found a "snap throttle" code. So I don't know if this tuneup will cure the running crappy problem that shows up randomly or not. Time will tell.

At least when I get home I can be in air conditioned comfort. July 4th when it was 109 outside, and all I had was a swamp cooler, it was miserable in here. I was walking around most the day in my swimming shorts, and spraying myself with a water bottle to stay cool. I bought 2 small AC units from Home Depot on the 3rd, but the maintenance people did not have time to install them until the 5th. However, now that they are installed, I am a happy camper. The one in the computer room (ex-master bedroom) works great, the one in the living room is larger, but has a larger room to cool, and it is open to the hall and kitchen so I would imagine it does not cool as well. Will have to think of something to keep the cool air in the living room. Like those hanging clear plastic "curtains" they use in commercial freezers that you walk through to go in.

Sounds great Jim! Coming along. I pinned wool blankets in the doorways of a house I was renting once to keep the room cool/warm. I'm a redneck though...

Anyone happen to watch the fight tonight?
