Yesterday was one<\/strong> of those days that your start early, you go full tilt and when you look back, ??? What the hell did I really get done?<\/p>\n

I was up early, checked a little email and then off to get the Jeep to the repair<\/strong> shop.\u00a0 This has been a continuous problem and sore spot with me.\u00a0 Last trip home<\/strong> the \u201ccheck engine\u201d light comes on.\u00a0 OK, I take it to the repair<\/strong> shop and they hook it up to the \u201celectronic wizard\u201d (a small box that reads engine trouble codes and tells us what is needing checked).\u00a0 It has a problem with oxygen sensors.\u00a0 Oxygen sensors? Hell why sense that, the air has about 7% to 8 % all the time<\/strong> right?\u00a0 Just suck more air into the engine and push it out the tailpipe.\u00a0 Well with all the new \u201cregulated emission controls\u201d we have more sensors and measures and computer controls on cars today that get worse fuel efficiency than the old stuff used to but we are making progress right?\u00a0\u00a0 Anyway, we set it up for a return visit and they replaced the sensors.\u00a0 Well that worked fine for \u2026.. a day<\/strong> or two then the light comes back on.\u00a0 Take it back and it is still the same thing?\u00a0 He says, lets reset it and see if we just didn\u2019t get it reset right?\u00a0 Ok, sounds good to me.\u00a0 A few days later it has the same problem so we go back and the little magic box says bad sensor and it is running horrible so I guess we got some bad sensors in the replacement so this is \u201cwarranty\u201d type stuff.\u00a0 Ok, I have to leave it to be done as I was going back to the \u201csand-box\u201d and the family picks it up later, parks it in the shop for my return.\u00a0 I get back and the light is still on, now what the HELL is going on here?\u00a0 I take it back, although it is not running bad, but need<\/strong> that annoying light turned off.\u00a0 It now shows 3 new codes all related to the \u201coxygen sensors\u201d so we set to take it back yesterday to check it out.\u00a0 Turns out it was a fuse out for the heating elements on the sensors.\u00a0 OH by they need<\/strong> to be heated up to measure what should be there anyway? When I got the call it was done the mechanic explains that they had checked the fuse according to the book before but it appears on this particular jeep that is not the correct fuse, they found the correct one<\/strong> and it was blown and replaced it and it all worked and no light.\u00a0 We had a similar problem with replacing the Air conditioner compressor clutch last summer.\u00a0 The one<\/strong> in the book was not the one<\/strong> on this model.\u00a0 I have a unique unit.\u00a0 Anyway, as of today it is fixed and runs ok, More on this later.<\/p>\n

If I was interested in doing my own repair, like the old days, I would get me one<\/strong> of those but I am at the point in life that I would rather just hire an \u201cexpert\u201d to just \u201cfix-it\u201d.\u00a0 Strange how that works.\u00a0 I now can look back and see all those times I was \u201csaving money\u201d by doing the repairs myself.\u00a0 I did save a few bucks doing them, but in most cases it took me 5 times the amount of time, several more trips to the parts house, aggravation to unknown limits, busted knuckles, scrapped hands, aching back, and other various things to get the same thing done in way less time<\/strong> and way less pinches, pulls, and mental anguish.\u00a0 The only difference in most cases was few dollars more.\u00a0\u00a0 Now I am not advocating that everyone look at this way.\u00a0 I think there is a need<\/strong> to know and understand how to do things yourself.\u00a0 I also think that there are things that you can do that will save you a lot<\/strong> of money, but there are some things that by the time<\/strong> you get the special tools, the special parts, use of the needed time, etc.\u00a0 you should have just paid the expert to get it done. The big trick, learning enough from past experience to make the educated guess on when to do it yourself and when to hire out.<\/p>\n

While I was out, in the wife\u2019s car after dropping off the Jeep, I got gas for it.\u00a0 Then I had several calls from home<\/strong> and work?\u00a0 Seems the management back over there is in a real tizzy about getting the monthly ticket signed and there are several problems with the way things are and my relief has to make a trip to the main office to discuss and get it worked out.\u00a0 I told him I would head home, he could call me there and we would talk over the issues so he could be prepared to get things \u2013 fixed or screwed-up? After this one<\/strong> hour phone call I went back to town for lunch, then back home<\/strong> again to get another of the little projects worked out.<\/p>\n

At home<\/strong> I started on the mail box lock<\/strong> replacement.\u00a0 Like I said above sometimes you need<\/strong> to hire someone to do things and other times you do it yourself.\u00a0 This one<\/strong> I tackled and it took me over and hour to do a 5 minute job.\u00a0 I already had the new lock<\/strong> but as things turn out, it was bigger, longer, didn\u2019t have the correct locking tab for the box, etc.\u00a0 I had to file out the hole on the mail box so the lock<\/strong> would fit in it, then I had to find the old lock<\/strong> to use the tab off it on the new one<\/strong> as it was bent in the proper amount.\u00a0 I had to find an extra \u201cshim\u201d nut to make up the rest of the lock<\/strong> distance and after that had to file out the tab to fit on the new lock<\/strong> square piece.\u00a0 But with attitude and perseverance I got it done and it works good now.\u00a0 Although I have to go get some more keys made.\u00a0 Once that chore was done we started on moving the security\/internet camera<\/strong> from the back porch to the front of the barn that shows the drive and parking area.\u00a0 I wanted to test it first and see if the wireless would work from there so I would not have to run the extra network cables.\u00a0 In the effort I find that the added power box (remember the one<\/strong> from a few days ago) was yet a long ways from the final place to put the camera<\/strong> so we used the extensions I had bought for it the first time<\/strong> to get power up to the far top corner of the barn.\u00a0 It actually was a better spot for the camera<\/strong> as it will be semi protected and probably will not need<\/strong> a full cover put on it in that spot?\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t all that easy as we had to use the tall ladder \u2013 the spot we put it is 14+ feet up.\u00a0 We also had to drill a hole through the wall to get the power cord out to the camera<\/strong> and I didn\u2019t want a lot<\/strong> of cable hanging out there either.\u00a0 It works fine shows what we want to show and is far enough removed that it can not be messed with easily.\u00a0\u00a0 Here is a webpage that updates the pictures from the cameras \u2013 WEBCAMS<\/a><\/p>\n

After this little chore I got the call the jeep was done but I didn\u2019t have time<\/strong> to pick it up and the wife and get home, change, pick up the neighbor,make a rush back to town for the Men’s BB game at 6:30PM so we opted to get the Jeep after the game.\u00a0 That was not exactly a good decision and the place we parked was not actually a good spot, but it is what we did at the time<\/strong> then with 20\/20 hind-sight we can really see \u2013 boy that was stupid.\u00a0 In shore detail, we parked in a lot<\/strong> where we were in the middle.\u00a0 it was easier walking to the entrance but when we got ready to leave, we were in \u201cgrid-lock\u201d trying to get out.\u00a0 We sat there in line for 30 minutes waiting on something to move, one<\/strong> way or the other.\u00a0 But by the time<\/strong> we got out of the parking lot, the traffic was pretty much gone and we made it to the repair<\/strong> shop, got the jeep and then home.\u00a0 After all this, It was best that I not write this note as I would have probably said a few more words that I shouldn\u2019t\u2026 Besides all that the Men lost their game and so far this year, I am not sure they look like they are improving?<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, the repair<\/strong> guy comes for the Geothermal unit as it has quit working on the heat pump side and the electric meter is spinning so fast you can\u2019t read the numbers on it trying to keep heat going?\u00a0 I am sure I will have other things to focus on as well.\u00a0 I sure would like to get the radio in the shop hooked up before the cold spell hits next week?\u00a0\u00a0 – WD0AJG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
