Didn’t really do much in the way of work for my business today. Got up. Ate breakfast, and then helped Cory with his Suburban a little bit.
He was having issues with the ignition lock cylinder, the seemingly ubiquitous problem with general motors vehicles.. so many of them seem to have key cylinder lock issues.
It took a decent little while, but we managed to get the cylinder lock out and replaced, so now he can start his Suburban without having to fiddle with the key. It’s a little annoying because now he has one key for the door and one for the ignition, but at least he doesn’t have to fiddle with the key to get it started always wondering if it’s finally going to seize up and not start, leaving him stranded somewhere.
We also got his hood release handle replaced. It was busted, making it a bit more annoying to pop the hood. He’s all set to head back to Utah, and will be leaving tomorrow morning before I get up.
So… goodnight, and goodbye Cory. Was great to have you here. 🙂
He tried to find a bolt for the one car yesterday, but no dice. Had to order one from Michigan, so I did that. Will probably be a week or more before it gets here. Went to the junkyard even to try and find one, but no luck there. Will try one more junkyard tomorrow.
Back to regular working tomorrow.
Tried to get the lawn mower fixed, and was able to get it started, but it still wasn’t shutting off like it was supposed to. Turn the key off, and it stayed running. 😶. Apparently, there’s something wrong with the ignition switch? I’m not sold that it’s an ignition switch problem, but it’s sort of a moot point at this point, because when I try to take the ignition switch apart, I think one of the Springs popped out into the grass, so.. I just ordered a new one off of Amazon.
Oh well.
I’m other news, I managed to get myself chigger bit all over. Not quite sure exactly how that happened, but it is what it is I guess. Lots of itchy chigger bites all over.
Guess it’s time for bed. Good night all.
Lift the World.
