Good morning guys. Stay cool out there.

 

Nice title

Happy August everyone.

 

Next stop, WINNIPESAUKEE!

 

LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE perfect place to be.

Man August already.

 

It's Friday, and I'm hoping everyone gets to enjoy the weekend. We are going to have a seafood buffet on Saturday. It is suppose to rain so we will put up the tents and get a fire started drinks and god food and the right people.

 

Was a great weekend for food. Back to the chores at home.

 

Where is everyone?

 

Here and there. I had a few days off this week so on Monday I drove to PA to drop off a pinball machine to be refurbished, then yesterday I spent most of the day working on another one myself. Today we drive to Killingly where my parents are spending the week on a lake vacationing and they were nice enough to take my kids (since Saturday night). Then back to work with me tomorrow.

 

I'm working in Stamford, so I've mostly been working and sleeping. I am contemplating attempting fixing my exhaust manifold leak, but have an appointment at a shop for August 30th. It would sure save me a ton of money.

 

Good to see people are alive and well, but really busy.

back to the campground on the weekend and it is desert weekend. Not my forte, so I will just sit on the side and drink a cold martini. yum!!

I was watching a show on the tube that was restoring pinball machines. They were very costly to do, a lot of man hours go into them. Was pretty surprised at the amounts spent.

 

I do most of my own work which certainly helps keeps costs down, but the machine I brought to PA for professional restoration will most likely end up costing me close to double what I spent on the machine when I purchased it. Other than the initial purchase cost, maintenance doesn't have to cost any more than you want it to. Plus they are a good investment these days as the value on pinball machines is only going up.

 

Hello Connecticut...watch out, summer is slipping away!

 

Hello All, got out of the loop but saw the update on last years thread. I replaced one of the lower ball joints on the Mountaineer yesterday. I would have done both but I bent my tool

 

It's never good to bend your tool.

 

Bad to bend tools.



On Friday I got in the 250 and found the fan to the air conditioner not working. All weekend I would turn it on and find it still not working and would turn it off. This morning had to take Kathy into work and had condensation on the windshield so I turn on the defroster and nothing because the fan is not working. I left the fan in the on position and drove thru traffic in the center of town as I went up the hill the fan started and has continued to work since. I have no clue what's going on.
