Good morning guys.

I hope your dog gets better John.

Congrats on the new ride Tom. I hope they get it all fixed up. You think they would get that on the pre inspection ?

Morning guys.

Dogs doing fine this morning. They gobbled down the rice and chicken last night. No upchucking and things this morning are back to normal today. It's amazing what these vets can do with drugs for dogs. I use to feed the sick dogs lamb and rice, it seemed to settle there stomachs and the rice binned them. So that part still works.

Tom when do they think they will get you car back? I like that loaner.

It's Friday and the weekend is arriving with a little snow later on this afternoon. Spring today a little after 6 tonight.

Good morning everyone.

Little bit of snow tonight, this far north I'm not expecting much. Those of you down south may get a worthwhile amount.

They could have done it last night, but I wanted to get home after being in NH since Sunday. I think they'll have it done this morning. The loaner is nice, AWD and rated for 33 MPG on the highway. Almost makes me want to trade the Prius.

Looks nice, mine is also a '97. Rust is taking its toll though, the fenders are starting to show it. 164,000 miles and currently stranded in NH waiting a tow home. I can't complain, this is the first time it's broken down since I got it a year and a half ago.

Nope, Hell is still nice and warm. The Prius is now my DD while my wife is getting the new van.

Napa is having their big filter sale right now, also some select oils are on a good sale. I just got 12 oil filters for the 6.7's and it ended up being half price. Rotella T6 5W40 synthetic is on sale, I know that will interest many people here.

Good morning everyone. We got about an inch and a half up here. Not enough to plow with the 45° high today. Then back in the freezer...

To be honest that car owes me nothing. Had it almost a year and a half, and during that time I've put 21,000 miles on it without it ever leaving me stranded. Pretty good for an 18-year-old car. After the fender bender a few weeks ago my insurance company paid me more than I originally paid for it.

I'm gonna have my dad try starting it today on the off chance that it's ice in the fuel line. If no luck I'll be going up there next weekend to have AAA tow it down.

I'm pretty sure it's not. The spark plugs are dry after cranking, so that narrows it down to a fuel problem. Bosch fuel pump can be had for around $60, and a quality regulator for around $30, and my money is on either of those. We'll see.
