Nope, had some pretty good t-storms roll though on my way in. Luckily, they slacked off when I got here, so I wouldn't get soaked walking in!

What's going on today, Greg?

Not a whole lot. Got to make some temporary modifications to my computer to last until my replacement of my replacement part comes in.
I picked up some contract work yesterday, and need this thing working to its full potential. It's not much but every $ counts.

I didn't know computers had such things. Then again, I know squat about computers!

Hey Pat and Greg!
Pat you folks have been soggy a lot this year it seems.

Greg,
pump for the liquid cpu cooler is rattling
I under stand the rattle part (not good right) every thing else is Greek to me. Hope you can pick up a little cash from the side job.

Debbie and I took Teddy up to visit my Brother at Topaz Lake over the last 4 days. Man we like the A/C. But the fuel milage is the same as before 14.9 for the 1000 mi. round trip. So I must have not topped the tank on our last trip through Az.

the liquid cooler pump is like most fluid pumps. It has an impeller that sspins at a specified rpm to push the fluid through cooling blocks and has a radiator with fans to dissipate the heat. This one either has an off balance blade or got some trash in it. Needles to say, that faster it spins, the worse and louder it sounds.

Dang Theodore, I was gonna try and use the better mileage as a bargaining chip with the wife to get my AC. You know be cause it would save money at the pump and all...
Doubt she would fall for it, but it was worth a shot.

Tell me about it. Bought plans for an Ark last month! Too bad about the mileage. Well, at least you were cool!

Craig, that car is in amazing condition! I us the same, called Bleche Wite. Usually does a great job getting road grime off, and bringing out the white.

Thanks Guys, It brings back good memories of me younger years. I'll have to get a bottle of that spray. I didn't know what Walt was talking about, Pat thanks for the picture. Now I know what to look for.

Take your wife for a short cruise in July. Debbie was the one who really pushed for the A/C. If all else fails maybe some sympathy for the Minion! You know what ever it takes (with in reason)
