oct 6 - 10 pm

not much cookin today. Went out to breakfast with a guy from the car club, then we headed over to the park to figure out where to put all the cars and stuff.

Later about dinnertime I conned little Steving into us working on his new free little truck. We pulled off the A/C lines at the leaking fittings and put in new O rings, then evacuated and charged the system. The fellow who gave him the truck also gave us a case of R-12 cans, we used up 3 of them. In case you don't keep track of this stuff, it was turned into a controlled substance in the early 90s, I had to get a certification to be able to buy the stuff after about 1992. It's worth a bit these days, perhaps $15 to $20 per can (according to the ebay market). I won't sell it, but we have a few cars that still use the old stuff.

So we got the a/c to blow cold, just in time for winter, but the blower motor on the truck is flaky too, sometimes it starts spinning, other times it doesn't. I guess I'll see how much one of them costs tomorrow....

big car show weekend coming up, I'll be exhausted on sunday.
