Working on my AC thanks to you

I will be redoing my AC thanks to your pictorial! I'm intrigued about making my 300D have ice cold AC after reading it. You've been a lot of inspiration to me!

Doing the holiday thing on Saturday, then spending most of the day Sunday driving to Iowa. Need to be in Iowa all next week.

Pulling the radiator out of Henrietta, my venerable John Deere 2040, hoping for a timely rebirth of her engine cooling capabilities.

Gosh, I haven't decided yet ... I mean, I have a lot of choices: I could bring a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a bag to work for my Easter feast OR I could bring a cup of chili. Heck, I could really let loose and leave the desk for 10 minutes to grab something at Sheetz!

LOL ... in case you couldn't tell from my bitter sarcasm, I will be working Saturday AND Sunday. We don't really do holidays where I work. I've heard some people got off for Christmas, but I sure wasn't one of them. Oh well ... certainly could be worse ...

On a brighter note, I did get a chance to come home and visit my family for an "Easter" Good Friday dinner tonight. Hopefully I can get my latest article written in time to enjoy that.

R Leo, that looks like a fun toy. If only the bunny would put one of those in my basket.

On Easter I will probably hang with my loyal beast (the dog) and try to figure out why my antenna motor just stopped working.

Fishing most of it, and maybe working on a boat Sunday afternoon. I'm not really big into Easter. I think my mom may drag me to Easter dinner sunday though, that should be nice.

I'm replacing my lower control arm bushings, rod bushings and ball joints. And hopefully fixing a transmission leak. If there is time after that, replacing the clutch in my Z.

clean and change the hot tub water, float, bed, trigger job on a Wincherster 70 rifle, reload 12 gage shotgun shells, glue the mirror back in my sunvisiors, found the bad rear wiper relay, remove front seats for spring repair and pool noodle work, fix one toilet, clean the shop out and up, silicone the front windshield.....this is making me tired already!

However, I will not be on the phone, faxing, talking to customers, or doing anything that looks like paperwork.....that's a good Friday!

Church on Sunday, gotta go say THANKS! Y'all have great week-end.

Relax'n....

I think we’ll be heading up to the ranch for some R & R.
Maybe a little horseback riding and target shooting with the kids.

R-Leo - Nice old tractor ya got there. Spent some of the younger years on a 2040. Am into the even older ones now. We have a couple of ’47 Farmall Cubs that I‘ve restored. Most all the implements too. What a workhorse those little things are.
Being a chopper pilot, things got a little carried away with one of the Cubs. (Just a spoof, mind you. Good for a grin.)
