wheh...the deer came fast and furious this year. Have put three in the freezer and have one aging and will turn to burger today making for a years supply of deer burger. The meat grinder I bought has performed great...can grind 50 pounds of deer in less than 15 minutes. I mix in about 5% beef fat with the burger...wow, what a flavor boost to the deer.

I had been having a sloooowwww coolant leak in my 2005 dodge ram for at least a year and a half. Could not find that leak to save my aass. Even the dealership told me I was crazy and there was no leak. Finally, finally, finally...it got bad enough to where I could find it. Water pump gasket...actually they use an O-ring type gasket these days and not the old style paper type. So, I thought, I'll change the thing myself...save 3 or 4 hundred dollars. I just changed the water pump while I had it off. Did it last Friday...took 5.5 hours(bet I could do it two after having done it once now). Was stove up Saturday....stove up Sunday...could move fairly well yesterday and finally have recovered to normalcy today. Ouch! It wasn't so much the work as it was leaning over the front of the truck! Lower rib cage so sore I couldn't move!!

And...and...I had one bolt left over. I checked every source available...there are eleven bolts holding the pump on. I went around that thing tightening the bolts at least 5 times counting the bolts as I went...11, 11, 11, 11, 11. I never figured out where that bolt went so now it lives in the glove box. haha

Bite me!
