This is what my Saturday entailed...




Changing the starter motor in my truck at the crappy tire parking lot.

 

you really got to sell that girl lol. at least it wasn't raining. wondered why i haven't seen you on all day. i spent my whole day on 4 forums. i'm exhausted.

 

I was off doing things most the day.
I had to get water from the Artisan Well at Lynn Headwaters (4 11 liter jugs & 1 18liter = 2 weeks worth of water).

The tap water here is horrible stuff..

 

too much chlorine? our water up here is very hard- lots of minerals in it. it don't taste good either. 62 litres for 2 weeks. is that for drinking and cooking?

 

18liter floor cooler/fridge is mine. HOT water for my coffee (speeds up the perk time), and 5c cold water for ice tea

 

What did I do this afternoon... Finished off an engine job, flushed the rad, and changed the oil and filter. Grease job. Then 2 more oil changes.

 

That sounds like a fun afternoon bigrig!

I went to another city to check out a dump truck. Its a 3 and a half hour drive and I made it there in 2 hours 15 minutes. I got back from there in the afternoon, then I did some tree clearing on my yard, getting a garden ready for the woman so she can grow some veggies and stuff.

 

Well first I watched the Habs take the Bruins down

The I went to Nanaimo (hour drive) and checked out a '77 F250. Goin' to get it in a few minutes now, talk to y'all when I get back.

 

Well, Al and I went around to all the yardsales. I bought myself a rechargable drill, then him and I went for lunch and then had a lazy afternoon watching a movie the the race......we don't get many days of just the two of us......nice once in awhile.

 

Bult a backyard gate and moved some split firewood.
I did the same starter job while laying on muddy ground last year - but at least I was at home with tools, beer and almost sympathetic Mrs. In my case, it was a waste of time - turned out there was nothing wrong with the starter, just a weak battery.
Was Canadian tire able to exchange your starter or was it just a coincidence yours quit in their parking lot?

 

I work for a Mechanic, and I stole a rebuilt one off a 9x E150. I'll have to replace it next weekend, or replace the brushes in mine and replace the one in the Econoline. Unless its the control pack that is dead....

 

I (finally) got a better bench seat for my truck.. VERY excited to finally sit straight, not crooked

 

I went to work.

 

ouch! haha jk
What'd'ya do anywho

 

I work in a planermill.
