Blazer Day

I went down first thing this morning and got the part for the Blazer's windshield wiper controls.  I worked on it until the guy showed up to measure the house for flooring.  After he was done, I made good headway and had the steering wheel back on by noon.  I needed one fitting for the oil pressure sender, so we made a run to Bredfield's, on the way home we stopped at a garage sale at the bottom of the hill and before you know it we had hit most of them between there and Toutle.  A couple in the Silver Lake area were kind of weird so we did not end up with much.  After we got home, I finished up the oil pressure gauge and put everything back together.  Ava and Harper brought Vera some flowers while she was sitting on the porch, they made a nice bouquet on the counter.  When I got done I asked Vera if she wanted to go for a test drive and eat dinner somewhere, she was agreeable, so we ended up in Toledo at Betty's again.  On the way there, the oil pressure gauge worked great, the wipers don't run when you use the turn signals and the cruise control works, something it has never done!  If you have ever worked on the wiring in a tilt steering wheel you will understand why it was never fixed.  All the wiring runs in a little channel and it is impossible to get the wire with a plug on the end down through it.  I cut the plug off the turn signal harness and soldered it back on after I pulled them through with the old wires.

This picture is of Harper swimming at the Going Away party last night, she was so relaxed, she noticed me taking the picture and gave me a big smile.
