Yeah I looked all over and $40 was the cheapest I could find with a gasket for a Motorcraft for my F150...I was shocked and was expecting about $20. But the good news is it seems to have corrected the issue. I drove it 20 miles yesterday and no dash light (knock on wood). It was actually running fine before but had a dash light on and wouldn't pass state inspection.

My inspection sticker expired in December!! Luckily I don't drive it much these days.

This truck has been one thing after another. My last F150 was a 1999 I bought new and brakes was the ONLY issue i ever had with it.

Got the Freon today to charge the car, got the sealant a couple days ago. I'll fix it tomorrow when it is cool.
Edit: I noticed my fuel gauge wasn't really moving below 1/4 tank when I was at the store, checked the odometer and it said 337 miles. :shock: Went straight to the gas station and put in 14.12 gallons, the tank is 19 gallons. I thought at first it was 15. :shock:

Today I used the weed eater to clear out the dog run, the ticks have been bad this year and I'm trying to keep the grass as short as possible in their area, their short lil pups and doesn't take much grass to be shoulder height. With my back injury something like weed eatin g is a major accomplishment anymore.AAANNDD.............i got a bunch of trimming done.yay. more trimming

There was a power plant that was built in their main grazing area. The constant traffic plus the loss of habitat caused them to move up north.



When my mom was still alive we used to walk together. I refused to let her walk by herself. One day we were on our way home and pretty close to our property when we both watched a mountain lion slink across the road (from our property) and down to the river. It was the most beautiful and terrifying thing I've ever seen. We have bears that go after our trash too. Damn things.

I remember when I lived out in Colorado during the seventies, we were hiking up boulder canyon and we had reached the end if the line inside a very remote box canyon when suddenly we could smell the stench of cat urine that was strong enough to make your eyes water , we got very quiet and looked at one another and about that time a mountain lion crossed the trail just a few yards away from the both of us.. That big cat looked right through my eyes and I swear that cat knew he could have killed us both, and got that point across in just one quick but serious glance. I will never forget that encounter, its the most alive, yet fearful, and connected I have ever felt.
