Sorry I haven’t blogged is a while. Everything just kind of happened at one. Ari was born, then school started, and I was running around trying to get in the school mode. Then to top it off the car broke down.
We’ve been doing OK since Ari was born. Her two-week appointment was Tuesday. She is 6 Lbs 11 Oz now. So like her bothers she is gaining weight, and will probably continue to do so.
Aidan and I did get to go fishing for one last time. We went up to Strawberry and meet up with Mom and Dad. Roger and Cozette were there with their girls. Darin came up with Zack and Makayla. It was fun. The boat wasn’t working. But we still went out. Rog and I used our float tubes. Still can’t catch a fish to save my life. O well.
The car had started to make some noise on the trip to Strawberry. Didn’t think much about it because it just sounded like a heat shield was loose, the when I changed the oil I couldn’t find anything loose. We when to Brian’s to use his long screwdriver to see if we could pin the noise down, and o boy did it sound like the sound was coming from the water pump. No big deal, I wanted to change that anyway. So on Labor Day I started to pull it apart. Well after finding that the water pump is mounted on the front of the timing chain cover, and that they hid a bolt underneath the pump. The pump didn’t seam so bad; No loose or missing blades.
Well to make a long story short, I had cracked the timing chain cover so while starting to take everything off to get to that, I find the balancer on the crack shaft is broken, Hey I found the noise. I just can’t get it off yet. I had to go to work on Monday and it has been raining pretty bad the last few days. Thank you Thank you Dad for lending me your car, so we can still function.
Hopeful tomorrow I can get some work done on the car. I have to get it running again soon. Then I can concentrate on my Bronco again. That’s what I really can’t wait to drive.
O well
