Thank you, sir. My resume reads snow, grass, trees. All things in parks.

I also make sure "Class A CDL" is pretty prominent on any resume I send out.

Evening guys.

Miles you also might want to flush the power steering/brake booster.
It made a difference in the way my pedal felt.

Good morning, this cool weather is so nice after July

I replaced my front right caliper last night but now my trick pulls to the left when I brake. I had to put my old rotor and pads on because my new stuff isn't here yet. Why would it be doing that?

My truck, Andy???
Two Saturdays ago I fixed the coolant leak in my timing case.
I've been too busy during the day to get new radiator hoses.
I should just order them from Amazon or something.

Good Morning,
Got septic system straightened out - tank pumped, drain line snaked and then blasted. Now have to get everything covered back up. Think I'm going to use a pipe clamp patch on the cracked cast iron drain pipe. The pipe is not leaking now that the drain is not backing up. The crack extends to the coupling which passes through the stonewall foundation. Really hesitant to try cut it off and installing PVC. If the coupling cracks the I'm into a lot more expensive repair.

Hopefully will get to coolant flush, radiator replacement, and new water pump/belt/hoses today.

Have a good day,
Jim
