As in radiator anti-freeze fluid in the crankcase?   The dreaded Strawberry Milkshake of Death?   (Not sure what it is if your anti-freeze fluid is coloured green or blue.....)

Ouch.  Condolences.  So sorry....

So whats the plan?   Re-build from scratch?   Replace the motor with a remanufactured motor?  Part out the vehicle and buy another one?  

Better but antsy.

33C is far more comfortable than 48C.

Sunny skies are far better than smoke drenched skies.  

Not bad but a bit weary. Water in my crankcase. The dreaded milkshake. It's not the work and expense repairing it so much. It's what I do, but not for a living; I build stuff. I make stuff. I fix stuff. I grease monkey for fun. I need my truck. It's my prime mover. Now I'm stuck with a scramble to shunt distraction and meet commitments. It's a really long story spanning several donut holes. Krispy. No Kreme. Just holes.

It's life. Everything. All the time. I need a bored kid to teach and boss around. lol

Best joke wins a bottle of magic fixer. Liquid tune up. Head gasket rejuvenator. something special like that...

Hey, that's the life of a banger driving a banger with a banger. Somehow you know what to expect...

Scared. It's mega fire weather - hot, dry and windy as hell. And now we can smell smoke! SHIT!
*Looks like the fire might be up in Chico so we should be safe for a while. 

Prune juice straight up!

My condolences Miami. 

Right now it’s been friends parents that have been passing. I don’t even want to think about losing the few close friends I have.

Thats why I’m looking forward to spending a weekend in Vt., 2 weeks from today, with 5 of my closest college friends. We haven’t all been together for 2 years. We don’t care if it’s going to be sunny or rainin.

My condolences my friend. I've had three of those this past year...The trade off for making it this long is we have to say goodbye to those that are less fortunate.

Glad to be back online. The storms that went through here Wednesday night fried my modem and the replacement didn't arrive until a short time ago. A very long two days without internet or cable. First world problem for sure...Cheers!
