    By the sound of the forecast you may need heat this week.

    If there's any sun during the day we'll be fine. Worst case scenario I run it manually for a couple hours and we'll be sweating.

    For the first time in my life I heard about them this year. Heard about it on North Woods Law.

    We gave my wifes old Sorento to my oldest when I bought Jen a new car 6 months ago. She was driving last night and the engine seized. There is a recall for this issue, so I may get lucky and get a new engine for free:dex:.

    Each spring we have a bear show at least once. Pulls the bird feeder down and eats the sunflower seed. Well Holly got to sleep on the porch last nite and came in 5:30. So we know she would go off if it came around I got up at 6:30 and it was not hanging up. Chaz has looked all over for it and can't find it. The stinking bear stolen my feeder.

    Buddy had a Tacoma with a TON of miles on it. Repaired the frame a couple times. Figured it was time to pull the plug, brought it to the junkyard. Junkyard guy said you might want to check with Toyota. He drove to the dealership and they said it was unsafe, gave him an 11k check. It’s rare to get out of the dealership not beaten up. Hope it works out for you.

    There is a reason why Hyundai/Kia have these unheard of warranties. They have a couple motors that are a ticking time bomb. Some go off at 5k. Some at 100k. Either way the amount that just drop pistons randomly and punch rods through the block would deter anyone with a clue from buying one. The warranty keeps them quieter. Also get a loaner car covered. Bad part is the back order on engines. 10 hour flat rate 2 months waiting usually.

    We just spent 4 wonderful days at the cabin 3 of which were in the presence of our grandson. He sure got a kick out of an old vacuum cleaner in the garage. Gramps made him wear ear muffs.

    Hope that pans out for you - that would definitely be awesome not to be out any cash for something like that!

    2 months? Lovely. Stepdaughter is 17, so a loaner for her might be out of the question. I may end up having to give her a crash course on the Bronco, her driving mine, or the wifes car is out of the question. She's a total slob, and her driving skills are poor at best, much like most of my wifes family. I might be tempted to take a loaner and save 2 months of mileage on my car though. Save 5-6K miles
    That would definitely be awesome if it does!

    There was a bear killed on the Interstate near Flint. They do get to wandering a lot in the spring.
