Re: Snow
snow - not really feeling it right now. last night on the way home from work- about six inches on the ground alight that i've never seen before comes on, a red light that is flashing and it says "check gages" so i do. no oil pressure. i pull over and check the ol' dipstick- zippo, nothing, gooseegg.what do i do now. theres a store about three miles down the road so here goes nice and easy. wow made it, into the store $3.50 a quart. 14 dollars and i am on the road again.feel so much better now, the snow is so nice looking, no traffic, so peaceful. four miles roll by, WTF theres that damn red flashing light again,come on . i'm afraid to look, NO- no damn oil pressure again. nearest store is a few miles down the road. go easy man, real easy. make it to store. in door is locked, i am three miles from home, forgot to mentionNO cell phone. store lets me in and i grab lots of oil, they were getting ready to close. throw some oil in and hope for the best. made it home , the plow guy hasn't hit my drive way yet. here goes , i make a run for it , past the start of my driveway,about 20 feet in and i'm sliding, sliding , damn i'm stuck. Today, two and a half hours of shoveling, jacking and stuffing boards under the wheels and i am out. check the cause of losing oil, the part of the oil cooler that bolts onto the motor is leaking, leaking alot. sy-ty fun.
