Snapshot

Funds are tight right now. I just had to pay for some medical bills. I will have to do what I can on my own for now. Its been awhile since I serviced the Trans. This weekend I am going to pull the pan, and flush the trans, and new fluid and filter. Plus it will be a little cooler on Saturday, which means less sweat rolling in the eyeballs. LOL.

No. It doesnt do that. Awhile back I had a DTC code that came up as torque converter shift solenoid. But it went away? The Transmission has been acting strange for a little while. Shift points seem off a bit, and it hits a little hard.

.....and....there is a considerable amount of transmission fluid leaking out of the bell housing area.

I have owned 4 Dodge Rams, going back to 1996. Never had any major issues. But my old clunker needs to be replaced with a new one. This truck belonged to my Dad, I bought it from my sister after he passed on. I had an '05 at the time. It has 230,000 hard miles on it.

I replaced the tranny speed sensor about 9 years ago when it went out. But it didnt have this type of problem.

Insurance companies are sharks.

I have a 50" Samsung flat screen with some pixels that have gone out. After doing some research on repair costs, it is not worth the repair. I'm going to replace it. There may be some electronic repair shops that might take it off your hands, for parts? Mine will end up in the dumpster.

Sell the kids. Buy a 65"

It would be pretty cool, to own a moon rock.

The Chappaquiddick scandal.

Vaguely. I was 7, and watching it in Black & White.

The Ben Lilly Legend- By J Frank Dobie. It's about Lion hunter , Ben Lilly, and his dog pack. Bounty hunting Lions and Bears in the Southwest.

LOL. Me neither. I can sit for about 60-90 minutes, then I get happy feet.

I'm kinda wondering about this monsoon season. A hot spell coming, with no rain predicted in Tucson for a week.?

I get the same way. I keep a case of water in my truck, but I just have to remember to drink it. Its not a good sign when the pee looks like Iced tea. I will probably end up with Kidney stones the size of Golf balls. Too much Coffee, and Monster's too keep this old man going. It's ironic, because when I'm hunting, I usually carry 6 bottles of water, and a couple of small Gatorades, and I drink them all.

You could always bring BC777 along. He seems to have the right connection's, in regards to rule breaking.

Backup is nice to have.

Good steady drizzle for the last few hours. Nice and cool out this morning.

An engraved gold pocket watch and chain is a nice gift, that could become a family heirloom over the years.

Was looking around the internet out of curiosity. Lots of watches in the $1-3k range. Just not in the realm of Rolex or Cartier. Cartier makes the tank watch for under $3k, but it is kind of funky looking.

Rolex Presidential Platinum....only $62,000.00 Submariner for about $7500 The Rolex Air King is about $4000 out the door. It is the cheapest watch Rolex makes. $2-3k would have to be a used watch in good condition. I'm such a "Po boy", I use a sun dial.

Had a bruiser of a storm roll through Tucson earlier.

Ouch!

Biggest part of the storm hit western Tucson/ pima county. Headed north. Got one good cloudburst in midtown, but not a whole lot.
