Keystone State Thread

Agreed. I have lots to answer for when my time comes @ the gates, but not helping family isn't one of them...

 

Good morning neighbor to the North.

Boy-oh-boy!

Matt, @Tatts521

You're off and running this morning!

 

Morning all
Dear lord could you give us maybe a Friday Saturday and Sunday without it raining

 

Agreed roads were flooding by me. Its stopped now. But on my way home from buddies house got a little sketchy in some spots.

 

Only random sprinkles here. I brought the flag inside last night in anticipation of a lot of rain. Could have left it out for Flag Day so little rain here.

 

As much as I was sweating today I thought it was raining, oh the humidity and dew point. But did a couple hrs of landscaping phase 3 lol, getting rid of red lava rocks and a couple rose bushes and weeds. But I finally found something deer won't eat a d I don't have to water!

 

Have to finish the top soil before I finish the chipped slate rock. But hard part done.

 

Went to go see my parents earlier. Walk in the kitchen my father has the heat on. I said pop good god it's 90° in here what in fuck are you doing. I wouldn't say it hot outside now but it's nice out. Told him I'll see you tomorrow. I cant sit in here with you right now. Hes turning into his father. Years ago when I visited my grandparents down in Florida I woke up at like 2am sweating the life out of me my grandpop had the heat set to 85 and it was 90 outside.

 

My grandparents lived in San Antonio, TX and hosted us in their home in the mid 1990s.

Wife still remembers how terrible we slept while visiting. I'm sad. lol

 

So I've noticed the steering on my Tacoma has gotten really stiff, especially when the wheels are straight and I got to turn them. Checked the reservoir (full), checked balljoints, rack n pinion, inner and outer tre's (greased and good). Did some more searching online and found that the universal joint on the lower steering shaft seizes up, especially up here in the rustbelt. Don't have the money right now to replace that so I got under the truck and sprayed the u-joints (upper and lower) with wd40. Now thre tacoma's steering feels light and easy. Night and day difference. Since we all live in the rustbelt I figured I'd share this little bit of helpful info. I was getting ready to swap out the rack.

 

I like your rock garden.

 

Reb, I remember reading that before, whenever I fluid film I spray that joint liberally, so far so good. Buddy at work has an 08 ,his went bad.
