Funny how the snow muffles sounds. Same thing with gun shots. Heavy snow you can't hear squat over 50 yards, besides everybody else is inside with their ears covered!
Looks like she won't be shoveling much snow for a while. Hope everything knits well. run away…
perfect answer Canada=80 cents on the dollar=real friendly people= Vancouver island is a balmy 12 cent.Leave your guns at the border you don't need them here .make sure you know a little about your air brakes.Micro breweries where born in Victoria I know because I did the chillers for specific mechanical,then seatlle ,Portland then all over.not bad eh? wally the friendly canuck!

Dana, what bad news

I hope Lynn heals rapidly without complications
Don't want to take this thread off track but.....
Thanks for the well wishes. Update on Lynn is as follows. Surgery last Friday. Couple hrs and 4 sheetrock screws. Well that's what it looks like in the xray. Very little pain so shes off the Narcotics and only on Tylenol. Looks Great in the xrays. They will have to take out the 2 screws that are holding everything in place by holding the tibia and fibia together. Other 2 that are holding the tip on the tibia that holds the ankle together. They will stay. Stitches out Monday and then a cast I believe. Thanks again for the well wishes.
Steve got to keep working so cant run away no matter how much I'd like to.

Steve VWNo way on Seattle, no sunshine there. Temperate climate indeed but not enough sun. I will do an Alaska run some day, maybe see you on the way.
Dana, glad to hear the mechanics got a good patch job going on Lynn's bad wheel. Hope things continue well. Heck, she's young she should heal in time to finish that driveway before the spring thaw.

Steve VWI don't want you to think I'm having too much fun. On the way down here, the front seal started leaking, the right rear disc is grinding, and the microwave died.
Replaced the Sharp microwave/convection oven. (Separate thread
here)
Today I did one of the other projects that I already knew about. The left rear HWH leveler broke last summer. I replaced it with one of the front ones I removed long ago. Now both the rears work again.
Tomorrow my brake parts will arrive, I will post both projects when done.

Steve VWI got started on the rear brake work. Pulled wheels, caliper and hose, rotor is next. I will continue tomorrow and post a new rear disc thread. Wifi is stupid slow here, photos take a WHILE to get to PB.
