What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Going to do first mow of the season, only long in spots but rain for next week so mow it while it’s dry

 

That's my wife's line also. Everyone was asking her why she wasn't in the marathon. Her reply was because i ain't that stupid.

 

Changed the transmission fluid in my Civic this morning...this applied. I had to remove like 10 push clips, 3 bolts, and the air filter box just to get to the fill port.

 

I get it, but kinda sounds like at this point we just need to be happy to not have one of those new sealed/unserviceable transmissions that seem to be catching on with OEMs! Lifetime lube...PFFT!

 

True enough.

 

Was it a result of the haircut?

 

Chrysler was good about installing the tube but no dipstick. Just a plug.

Need your fluid level checked? That'll be $45.

 

Nice shot!

 

Mine isn't nearly long enough. Still in drought from last year. The ground froze very early and then all the snow pack melted before the ground thawed (had absolutely zero mud season). Didn't even get an inch of moisture in April; it snowed once, then had like 3 "rains" of 1/16" or less and one misting event. Did get 3/8" a few days ago, but the majority of mornings the air is too dry to even bother dropping dew on the grass. River has been very low for th elast two months and never got a good amount in it during spring thaw.

Yesterday I hooked up the garden hoses for the season and watered the shrubs I planted last July before they die from lack of moisture. This is the irst year I've watered any existing plants before end of July.

 

bogieb we had 3/4 inch of rain yesterday 1/2 inch predicted today. I try to send some South east because of your pretty gardens.

 

The dealrship where I tried out the rav4 is calling me.

They wanted to know why I wasn't happy with their proposal and the vehicle. They are offering a different vehicle now but I told them to give me a "realistic" trade in value.

It's nice to be in a position where I don't have to buy another vehicle....just kicking tires.

 

Hauling rock and using the ram as a scaffold to work on the eaves.

 

Yes, that's a good feeling. Needing something ASAP is not. Been there done that.

 

Yes but the civics have super easy and well thought out engine oil change drain and oil filters. Win some, lose some

 

I'm close to being at mow #4 this season. That's got nothing to do with me getting a new mowing machine this year. It would have grown with all the rain we got in April regardless.

Oh and the hummingbirds are back! I put up a both of my feeders about two weeks ago and I just saw a few hummingbirds tonight at the feeders. This weekend is flower shopping and planting. I got 2 nice hanging baskets, one a nice begonia and the other a fuschia.
