HEY ALL!! duck and cover, or is it TOO late

    "    And all is darkness in my room, and through the light your face I see, and baby take a chance - baby won't you dance with me, lost all the treasure in an overseas war, it just goes to show you don't get what you paid for, bowing to the rich and your worrying about the poor, put the feet up on the couch and lock all the doors, what's the funky noise it's the tightening of the screws, feeling kind of hurt sitting in the dirt    "    Well got the Ranger back yesterday afternoon, complete clutch job, new fly wheel, clutch plate, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing, new hydraulic slave cylinder for the throw-out bearing, then had to replace the oil pan gasket (cheaper to do since the tranny was already out), then had to replace the inner and outer front wheel bearings, WOW. But the Ranger sure drives great now. Cost more than originally thought, but had to do some extra work to it. May STILL need to replace upper and lower ball joints in the coming year or so. Think I got the finances figures out on how to handle it all. Went out this morning and started to mow the yard, should be the last time!! THEN found that the septic system had backed up around the cover to the septic tank!! WHAT??!! We just had that emptied two years ago, it CAN'T be full. So that means it's probably something MUCH more expensive. Have a guy coming by this afternoon and tell me what's going on. Like I said, it may be too late to duck and cover............... Did manager to sell an item on eBay this morning. Same guy that was looking at another set of mine. So I made him a counter offer on the first set when I sent him the invoice for the new purchase. Would be GREAT if he'd bike on BOTH!! Cleaned up the grill to put the cover on it for the winter as well. Had some helpers from the Senior Center come by couple days ago and clean out the gutters, and put some moss killer on the roof. So slowly getting winterizing things done.  CHOW MOI!!
