Earlier this week we had the forecast of snow during the early morning hours. This is a phone capture of the exciting news.
Today’s forecast for Monday is now showing cloudy day. That sucks. It hasn’t snowed since we moved up here a couple of years ago. I’ve heard from the locals that it had in the past. I’m sure it will someday.
Yeah. I thought that was a catchy and funny title. I scored on a set of 4 dollies for $40 bucks. That’s super inexpensive and these are rated at 1000 LBS so plenty of strength to handle my classics.
I’ve heard of guys bending the shit out of these loading up a large truck. I do have a set of 1500 LBS (2 each) that I can use on the end of a vehicle if need be but I don’t think I’ll ever run into that situation in the Manetarium.
I was working on the 92’ Vette and the passenger side O2 sensor was being stubborn. I couldn’t remove it with the tools I had available. This particular sensor is mounted onto the manifold and in a position where basic sockets, open end, crows foot and even a standard O2 7/8” or 22mm tool could not access.
The drivers side sensor was a bitch to remove but the passenger side I couldn’t get to. I ordered another O2 sensor removal tool that is designed to work with hard to access manifold mounted sensors.
I’m hoping the additional length will provide the angle needed to remove the sensor. I’m thinking a 3/8 extension and a pry bar will get it. I already sprayed the parts with PB Blaster.
Another update and nothing to report except there may be improvements in the way the vaccine is distributed. We have a new White House administration and this area is a main a focus point.
Imagine walking up the hill and you run across this dude blocking the path. I saw this guy next to me hopping off the freeway.
We had incredibly nice weather today. I think we even set a record for warmth. The front yard is starting to change in color and the greenery is beginning. It’s the best time of the year for
One day I sure hope I’ll post something to the effect that COVID-19 is no longer an issue and that all the ill effects it had cost have been taken care another an issue. It hasn’t even been a year and the total cases are 1,538.
After troubleshooting the lack of blower fan airflow I determined the problem was the blower fan control module. This part receives a pulsed signal from the head unit controller using a Brown wire. This output of the control module will directly control the blower motor via the purple wire. I wasn’t getting shit out of the module.
The control module is one of those non-serviceable components. It’s covered in some sort of high pot material for protection.
After installing the replacement part Delco 16061602 I performed a test. The new part completely fixed the lack of fan blower control. I glad it wasn’t the actual control module itself. I’ve had to replace that component on my 1989 C4 Corvette and it’s not an easy task within the small confines of the interior layout.
There has now been 1,493 positive cases recorded in Calaveres County. I’ve heard that due to lack of planning at this time there are no vaccination options being made and not available.
This would mean using the services of the surrounding counties and deal with their own backlog issues in deploying the vaccine. WTF is that all about.
It’s not getting better. The crazy thing is nineteen cases were reported in March 2020. Not even a year, this is for our small community. How in the hell is it still getting around??
