    I was in the dollar store yesterday. I saw Cheeto’s flaming hot Mac & cheese. I’m going to have to try it.

    Save your cardboard if you ever do a radiator or condenser.

    TPMS came on this morning as I was heading home.
    Must have looked at the tire 50 times trying to find what I ran over so I brought it to my tire guy.

    Verdict: Corroded valve stem. First for me. WTF!!

    That is an insult..

    To many good Firestone techs!

    Not shocking. Mine needed a new one about the same timeframe.

    I was expecting you to say cold. Every time it gets noticeably colder my light comes on in the Pius.

    That what I thought it would be, but PSI dropped since yesterday and had a little over 20#.

    This is something I keep saying I will do, but I just have not gotten to it. This weekend I swear!


    Spent all of last week in FL for work, and partially for pleasure at the end of the week/weekend. We got to check of two more national parks, so that puts at 34 out of 63 thus far. The everglades were very beautiful but unless you have a kayak or watercraft, you are not seeing most of it. I sure am glad to be back north though with this cooler weather. I am not down with a humid 85F in mid october.
    I guess the one positive of FL, if there is one at all, is that with it being so flat it is easy to hypermile. I had a 2023 Nissan Rogue as a rental. It was... okay.

    The guy with the radiator. He picked up his car today and accused me of not replacing the radiator. :confused:

    He was looking at the condenser. I had to remove air intake stuff to show him the new one.

    I can't believe the service manager let that happen. It's his job to deal with a customer like that.

    Let me just stop you right there.........I attempted that.....Failed miserably.....It has the taste and color of nuclear waste...

    This is why you are so fucking awesome Harry....The patience you have to do stuff like this while also giving tips and tricks of the trade coming from a Master Tech are invaluable. I am going to start paying you to work on my truck when I need a hand once in a while.

    I didn’t get the mac & cheese. It was the bowl that you put in the microwave.

    Thanks for the compliment. :thumbsup:
