postheadericon Gay July-9-10

I was up at 5:00 am this morning. I had to be over to Coz and Nikki’s at 7:00 am as Coz and I were working on their Blazer. It has an oil leak from the lines that run from the engine to the oil filter and to the oil cooler. When we went to get the parts we needed they told us that this is a problem with all 4 wheel drive Blazers when they get old. It turned out to be a big job as we had a problem get the old lines out and the new ones in. I figured out that if we put the jack under the engine and raised it about a half inch the oil line slid right in through the frame. After we got that done we took the Blazer to the car wash to clean off all the old oil on the underside. Then we worked on the windshield wipers. The housing was broke that holds the wiper arm in place on the passenger’s side. So we made a trip to Fleet Farm and picked up and L bracket that used my dermal on to shape it to fit over the old housing. After a few cuts and a lot of grinding and drilling a hole I was able to make it fit. It was near 5:00 pm when we got done. We had just finished cleaning up the tools when Darren and Jodi arrived from Atlanta for the week. We helped unload Darren’s motorcycle and took his trailer over to the fairgrounds and parked it behind our 5th wheel. Darren headed back over to Coz and Nikki’s and I took a much needed shower and worked on cleaning all the grease and oil off of me. I got back to Coz and Nikki’s the same time has Coz and Nikki did with Cece. Cheri and Nikki spent the day shopping and visiting. After some visiting with Darren and Jodi we Coz started the grill and did some hamburgers and brats. Cheri had made potato salad along with beans and water melon. Cheri and I left for home around 8:30 pm as I was pooped from the day’s work. Cheri gave me a wonderful hour long massage and put me to bed. How great is that to have a wife that takes great care of me.
