Just had the second water pump in 3 months in my trucks. I swear, I just got home from replacing the pump on one, then the other has a puddle under it. $1400 job, and I learn the hard way you need to spend more on a dealer water pump. Aftermarket pumps last 2 years. Oh well, still cheaper than new trucks. At 19 years old, my next guess would be alternators? Shit, Hope I didn't just jinks myself.

I have to change the battery and wiper motor before my drive to Texas. Wanted to take the twin, but can't fit all the crap my wife wants to take in it. Funny, my one truck has a 30 month battery in it. I've never purchased a 30 month battery in my life. I never skimp on batteries. There is one shop I won't go to anymore....

I am not brand biased when it comes to vehicles but there are some brands that don’t do some things right and with Dodge/Ram it is water pumps(and half ton transmissions). KTM was the same till they stopped doing their stupid cam driven water pumps on their LC series engine.

So, I have a fence around my house. There is a gate that is 10 steps to the front door. Another 15 feet further directly in front of my driveway and the same distance away as my front door is a side gate that opens up to a covered area between my house and shop. FedEx/UPS/Amazon keep leaving packages at my front door out in the open. I have made sure to update my delivery preferences and put notes on my orders to deliver to side gate. Packages still get left at my front door. I put a padlock on my front gate before I left midweek to work out of town. Came home to packages between my front gate and front door in my yard, like $900 worth of shit out in the rain and in the open

Like WTF? Do I need to hang a sign. Maybe put a motion activated sprinkler by my front door that comes on when someone parks in front of my gate.

“Dear UPS/Fedex/Amazon please use the side gate and leave my stuff under the cover and not out in the open. I have left crayons out for you as a snack. Thank you for making me post this notice for package thief’s too since you guys are too stupid to get the hint or read the delivery note.”

Just saw the first cruise ship of the season heading off north from Seattle.
Train spotting for the PNW.

I might need to start using an ad blocker again. Getting real annoying.
