Friday March 2 2012

The lawyer finally removed his SUV

Happy Friday!

Hiyah making quiet




       
The lawyer at the end of the street finally moved his big SUV. It had 3 parking tickets on it this week...
11 AM, and someone's weekend is ruined. One cruiser drove by and then about a minute later, 4 cruisers pulled up.  The cops had one dude up against the front of the car handcuffed. Off to jail he goes.
Hiyah came walking back from the liquor store in the middle of the fracas. He sat on the porch with is 40 ounce in a brown paper bag and watched the drama unfold. He was unusually quiet....

And the adventures of Rachel's car continue.... She had gone to Auto Zone to diagnose the car getting hot before Christmas.  They said it needed a thermostat. Cost- about $20. BUT that doesn't include labor and antifreeze. We got an estimate from Pep Boys, $170 for everything. Then, yesterday I told her to bring the car to Dave. He had some clips and was able to clip the front bumper cover on the car so it  doesn't fall off. Yay!! Well, we asked Dave, how much to put in a thermostat. He said, let me look at it, maybe the fan isn't coming on or something. Turns out "something" was the real answer.. The overflow tank has a rubber hose that the radiator is supposed to suck the water out of the tank to go to the radiator. Guess what? The rubber hose was GONE. So, while the overflow tank was full, the radiator was close to empty! No water was able to go into the RADIATOR!!! Dave put in about a half gallon of antifreeze and some water and ran the engine for a few minutes to make sure it was totally full. Now the beast is running much happier and cooler!
