Hell and good day John, Shaun, Grant, Steve, Perry and all who lurk here.
It`s a good idea to send a safety vehicle with the tow truck, some peeps just don`t get the idea of slowing down for anything period.
No frost here either, I think it only dropped down to about 10 over night.
How`s your day going Steve, Grant?

It was a hot day out here, broke a good sweat today doing this neighborhood cleanup and yes, the old guy in the old truck kicked the kids in the Ridgeline with uhaul trailer. They got their 3rd load in but my 2 scale tickets was more than their 3 and I've got my heaviest load on board. Tomorrow the guys at Foothills landscaping is donating a crew or 2 so that should let us cover more areas, we went after the worst areas first so it should be easier tomorrow. Hope you all got yer butts worked off today. Lol

I got my fenders back on the panel and stopped the brake fluid leak. Should have it sitting on rubber again tomorrow and try to get some help to put the hood back on...

Good stuff Perry, I`ve never thought much of a plastic Ridgeline.
For a fall day it felt pretty warm although it only got to about 24.
It sounds like you`re getting it done John, how much longer before you can take it out on the road? I never got anything done on my 53 resto rod between work and doing other pre-winter stuff.
Even after a bit of frost our tomato plants are still producing.

I must admit that its good that the preppy kids are out there giving it their all and they haven't given up on the job. Tomorrow there will be more appropriate equipment and hopefully some guys that are used to getting dirty, maybe the kid had a parental influence that worked for a living.

Hopefully take it for a spin today even if I don't get the hood in place..
Good morning everyone

Hello Shaun, John, Grant, Steve, Perry, all who lurk here.
Good to hear that the youngsters working Perry.
How`s your day at the office going Shaun?
Not having a hood on hood wouldn`t stop me either John.

I have a shower diverter that is not working as well as a shower pipe leaking, and the pop up strainer for the bathroom sink broke this morning.

It sounds like a day job to do all of that, I don`t envy you as I hate messing with plumbing. It`s great I have a friend that is real good at it.

Luckily the shower arm is easy to replace if that is the only issue. Otherwise I have to open a wall up and that will become a day of work to do that since I can only access that through my dining room wall. The tub diverter is really easy. That just needs to be screwed off and a new one screwed on. The pop up drain on the sink is the one that will suck the most since I have to disconnect the drain to replace the part the rusted out on it. I also have an outside spigot that is leaking a bit that I need to replace. But that can wait for a nice day to do that since I have to shut the water off to the whole house to repair that.
