Well I guess I am going to be a diy mechanic soon. My 2000 Chevy pickup has been dead for a few years, and I am comfortable enough financially to start on it. I found 1aauto.com that sells parts and has installation/repair videos on their site. I need to either replace the radiator and/or the water pump. When it went out on me, I had no choice but to deal with one car. Now, though I have a company vehicle, I want to get my own truck up and running. The radiator doesn't look too difficult, but that water pump looks a bit intimidating. But I'll save money doing it this way, and I can go at my own pace. Maybe $250 in parts if they're both bad. I've done maintenance stuff on my truck (oil change, spark plus, distributor cap, wiring, and washer fluid reservoir) but nothing this major.

This is a vehicle that's paid for that old enough I can actually work on that's still running. I plan on keeping this for as long as I can keep it running. Might as well learn what I can about it as I go.

I'm so frustrated when they cancelled shows like Agent Carter because it is so darn good and it's has lots of good stuff in that show; great costumes, good script, very retro, and most of all it's has everything you want in that show that's makes it great. It's a bummer when I hear things like this. Plus lots of hunky actors. I hope they change their minds. It should at least be a trilogy. A trilogy ... definitely YES

It's not even May in Oklahoma and two tornadoes already. Ugh.
Hondo if you're in the state still stay safe. It's still south of Norman at the moment. I just got home from work. So I'll have to get filled in from my wife. But it's raining like hell and hailing.
Edit: It's passed at the moment. Moving northeast so it's seems we're in the clear.
