Yea I will. Great idea, FYI I know the carpet by the Dead Pedal will only get so clean, The stain has been there for years ! But amazing how much crude that extractor pulls out !
I use it on furniture as well. When I had a dog she was allowed on couch :) I'll take pics of the cleaner fluid at the start and what shows up in the waste tank :O
Looking like rain on and off this week :O
Going to see one of my son's,DIL and grand Daughter either this weekend or next. They may be going to Boston to see the MIL... But I'm retired so have plenty of time :) Then off to Fla. in a few weeks to see my daughter and son in law

One of my daughter in laws jst let me know my son passed the review board and will be getting a commission to Lt. . He is the first of my boys to go past NCO :)SO this old fart is wicked proud :)
Off my soap box now :)

Thanks . I am really stoked. he is the first to make Officer, 2 of my other sons and I were NONCOM S ! Plus he is having his second son in August :) 2021 looking like a good year :)
Took the HHR out for a ride and hit Dairy Queen lol $5.00 and change for a Blizzard :O Man have prices gone up.
Going to get the radiator flushed next week or two.
I do like driving that little car :) and 28mpg is not too bad :)
But love driving my truck, fits my 6ft3 210 lbs a bit better :O but not as good mpg 20/21 mpg still not bad for a Quad Cab 4x4
You all have a great night

I had a few building projects planned at home this year that I am putting off until next year, including a large deck on the back of the house.

The building lumber prices are insane. Interestingly, hardwood lumber prices haven't gone up much.

Here is some humor to get a few laughs out of the situation, since there isn't much we can do about it:

Today I drove to the hardware store picked up paint and roller refills, drove back home and painted the fresh drywall in the rec room



Before , from last Saturday, I taped and compounded Monday and did second compounding on Wednesday.

Today, it’s painted, Brandied Pear! A fancy schmananzy name for light almond

Which TPMS sensor did you buy? I assume one of the ones from Rock Auto. My daughters new SS has a couple of dead sensors and I need to get new ones.

I bought a set off EBay for the summer tires and another set last fall for the winter tires. 13598772 is the GM part number , they are rubber style not the metal screw together.

for the 2009 SS, go with 20925924, if you order from RockAuto they are $50 each or go to EBay and order a set of 4 for $55, and wait the 1 to 2 months for them from China, they are all made there anyway. And you save $150.00!


Ok, so Sweetie took the BlackSwan out for a lunch with her female friends, so I went downstairs and installed the baseboards and window trim! More Dean Johnson then Norm Abrams!
