I guess banging on the hood to get the headlight to come back on was only going to work for so long ha ha! Changed this out and a CLA that popped a fuse every time I plugged in my cell phone.
THe dome light's were on in my truck. Geez, no wonder why the battery was dead. I don't remember turning them on though.
So replacing the crank seal on the cruze was easy. It was torn and puking oil.
That being said, what a f’n piece of chit.
The belt tensioner is garbage,
Seal has no substance to it, no spring for tensioning the seal.
Built to fail.

That beats the hell out of some phantom short somewhere. I'd be thinking OK, next!
Were your doors locked, did you get prowled?

Man that's cold, when does it typically warm up where you are?
I kind of wonder. Nothing in my cupholder was missing though.

So today was an interesting day. My 5 yr old got into a fight with 4 other girls in preschool today. All were sent home but and I’m quoting my daughters teacher here but “that girl can fight”. She was the only one not crying and still ready to go by the time the teachers got it broken up. Which really sounds bad considering this is pre-k. I asked my daughter why she did it, she replied, she won’t pull my hair again daddy. Needless to say, my daughter got into some serious trouble when we got home. But I’m smiling behind the scenes a bit. Girl don’t take crap from no one. Keep in mind, this is the same child that whooped a 7 yr old when she was just 4 for hitting her brother and making him cry. She punched that 7yr old upside the head and knocked him out. Not sure how to get thru to her that you can’t fight every time someone hurts you or is mean to you.

Just doing what I do
An Irish man walks into bar and orders 3 pints of beer.
The bartender says “You don’t need to order them 3 at a time, when you finish one I will bring you another.”
The Irish man says “No, I need all three. You see, I have 2 brothers and we all made a pact that no matter where we were in the World we would always share a beer together at the end of each day. Since I am here in America and they are still in Ireland, this is how I honor that vow.”
The bartender nods his understanding and brings the man 3 beers.
The man quietly sips from all 3 glasses until they are empty, pays his tab and leaves.
The man returns night after night for 3 weeks and repeats the ritual.
On the first day of the fourth week, the man comes into the bar looking sad and orders only 2 beers.
The bartender notices the change and quietly brings him 2 beers. He watches as the man slowly sips from each glass looking despondent.
Finally, just about as the man is done, the bartender approaches the man and says that he noticed the change in his order and then softly asks him if something has happened to one of his brothers.
The man stares sadly at the two glasses and says “No, nothing like that...it’s just that my doctor told me today that I have to give up drinking.”

You're killing me Smalls!
Any day now.
Normal is minus 10 to -15 i think.
And I thought I had a short growing season. 68 degree average in July, not really warm, holy crap!

An Irish man walks into a bar and asks the bartender if he knows if there might be someone else in the bar who is from Ireland.
The bartender points to a man sitting alone at a table and says “Well, that guy came in about 20 minutes ago and says he is from Ireland.”
The man orders a pint and walks over to introduce himself to the guy sitting at the table.
He says “So, the bartender says you might be from Ireland. I’m from Ireland, can I join you?”
The guy at the table looks at him and says “Sure! Let’s sit together and have a pint!”
The man sits down and as they finish their beer he says “I’m from Dublin, where are you from?”
The guy says gleefully “Well, what do you know! I’m from Dublin too! Let’s have another drink to celebrate Dublin!” And they order another round.
They order another round and after a bit, the guy says “Do you know of a little hamlet near Dublin called Franklin?”
The man says “Know it? I grew up there!”
“Really?!” says the guy “I grew up there too! Let’s have another drink to Franklin!” And they order another round.
After a bit, the man asks “Did you know of a school teacher there named Mrs. Pattylack?”
The guy answers “Know her? She was my Fourth grade teacher!” The man replies “Really? she was my Fourth grade teacher too! Let’s have another drink to toast Mrs Pattylack!” And they order another round.
While this is going on, another customer who has been watching says to the bartender “Wow, look at that. What are the odds of two Irish guys here in America meeting and having so much in common?”
The bartenders says “Nah, that’s just the O’Malley brothers getting drunk again.”

All the Sisters in a Convent decide to go out for the day to do good works in the nearby town.
The Mother Superior decides to leave the youngest Sister in the Convent to do all the laundry including washing all the other Sisters habits.
After everyone has left, the youngest Sister decides that she will add all her habits to the wash including the one she is wearing and take a shower while they are washing. She plans to dry them all and then be back in her habit before the other Sisters return so she can be one ahead of all the others in clean clothes to wear.
As she starts the laundry and is about to get into the shower, she hears a knock on the front door of the Convent. Looking around for something to put on, she realizes that she put everything in the wash including the towels.
She calls out of the upstairs window and asks “Who is it that knocking on our door?”
A voice calls back “Blind man from the village.”
Thinking it over, she decides to go down stairs and quickly let the man in. Since he is blind, he won’t know that she has no clothes on. She doesn’t want to turn him away.
She opens the front door and the man walks in, looks at her and says “Nice tits Sister...where do you want the blinds?”

Well this afternoon I finished my Barracuda car project. Four months to the day.
Putting the headlight bezel on today, passenger side acted like it didn't want to fit. It almost fell off when I took it out, so knew something wasn't right.
Got to looking and one of the bottom screws in the surround wasn't in the hole. It was sitting above the hole on the metal frame. Just enough to throw everything off...haha. Set it straight and all was good.
Glad to have it done. Think I've said it, but it was a project where I started small but was the old "well while I'm doing this I ought to go ahead and do this". Yep it snowballed. It was all positive. Ended up with a list of 50 upgrades.
