I don't know if I have a move left in me

Our daughter Kari decided that she wanted to move into a house with a pool and be closer to the beach. well quess who gets to play Beakens man this week. She took off work this week so she can haul all of the 1000 or so box's over to the new place. then on Saturday her boyfriend and his friends will load up the heavy stuff and move it. Well how come I got to move the couch and bedroom set, is that considered light weight stuff. When I woke up this morning I thought I had Polio. I hurt places I forgot I had.

When we got home last night I was in my big chair and heard water running. I thought that the toilet must have got stuck so I went into the bathroom to giggle the little lever, well that didn't work. still every 15 mins. the tank needs to refill itself with about 1/2 quart of water. So today when we get back from moving, I need to replace the little flapper valve.

This weekend I need to get going on our little Chevy Blazer. It's a 1995 S10 model and has been bullet proof for 195k miles. well about a month ago it developed an attitude. It will start up perfect in the morning, but when you drive it for a while and turn it off it will not start back up. If you crank & crank on it for about 10 times it will start, and once started it runs just fine. I have replaced the coil, ecm, cap and wires. I even took out the dist and replaced all of the parts in it. well I have come to the conclusion that it may be the fuel pump at fault. I can hear it turn on when I turn the key on and it pumps up over 60 lbs when its cold, but only about 55lbs when warmed up. I'm told that this type of fuel injection system needs 60+ lbs to start. This is our daily driver and fits our needs perfectly, it is also set up to tow behind the motorhome. The only problem is the gas tank is almost full, so I quess I will be cruising the freeways this week trying to empty the tank.

Got to run now .
