The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

Hopefully, the A/C on the Power Wagon is fixed. The dealer changed the hose from the compressor to the condenser. The old hose looked like it was leaking at the ends. It was covered in oil. The hose is a dealer only item. So I let them do it. The hose was $140.00. Add labor, the total came out to $390.00.

Not too terrible of a bill from a dealership.

Came home from work and picking up the Power Wagon. Used the 15,000 lb winch on the Power Wagon to pull out a bush in the back yard. The bush didn't stand a chance.

Wifey couldn't believe on how fast I gone the job done.

I told her when you have the right tools for the job. The job is easy.

Could have been worse. You figure the part plus changing it out. Putting a vacuum on the A/C system. Then recharging with oil. Just glad it wasn't the evaporator. Then the bill would been close to a thousand, if not more. About $400 for parts. Then pulling the dash apart.

After pulling the bush out. Washed and waxed the Grand Cherokee. With the weather starting to get cooler. I better get a good coat of wax on it before it's too late. Tomorrow, I do the Power Wagon.

Drove those parts this summer for a road trip. OR 242 west from Sisters is epic if you arent in traffic. Dee Wright Observatory looked so sweet I actually stopped there - which never happens.

I just picked up a bottle of Blackfire sealant. Will give it shot. They all pretty much look the same with proper paint prep.

Went to grocery store deli for lunch. Once again they didnt have anything good. Picked up a ribeye, mushrooms and to add a bit of pizazz, some shallots.

I haven’t got any of those yet; as the heads are a bit larger & was concerned about clearance issues.
I can’t complain about the gear wrenches that I currently own...I’ve broken (1) in the 20+ years of using them
