Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 39.6°, clear and sunny. Wind holding so far at 5 mph and less. Fortune tellers are saying the crystal ball looks really good for the next 4 days.
As long as it stays nice and dries out a little, I would like to try and get the new Tru-Cool LPD transmission cooler. The question I have now is if I want to hook it up in series with the existing external cooler or just replace the existing cooler.....
The rebuilt transmission worked great on our trip up to Silver Falls. Seemed to run 5-10° cooler and maybe hold speed up steep hills like the Hill on 22 coming up from OSCI and Butler hill on the way home by about 5 mph better.

We are up to 46.2 here under blue skies and sunshine...although my fingers don't really think it is. I'm not sure which is worse. Holding an ice cube or holding a cold socket wrench......

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Finished plumbing the extra transmission cooler in today. Have to see if I can repair a washing machine tomorrow. I'm hoping we can fix it. Those things are just down right scary on prices for new one anymore. Not to mention this is a heavy duty front loader half of a stackable set....

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Washing Machine repair was a bust today. Going to town to talk to Frank tomorrow to see if it is worth bringing in for repair...or just to put in his recycle pile.
