learnteachThe recent hot spell is hard on rubber hoses, especially old ones. The kind that are on vehicles. The van is now leaking from all the heater hoses (105 in the valley) and the bike is leaking from the left front brake line. Time to replace a PILE of hoses; so that's what my weekend will look like.
Check your hoses. The van's were at least 10 years old, the bikes 8. That's great value and longevity, but now I need to fix vehicles quickly--certainly don't want to overheat the van and seize the engine, or lose brakes on the bike when I need them.
On a complete side note, two hours of dancing and dance teaching can raise a sweat, and, I've been given a better way to teach basic waltzing. Plus, these people I don't know I should get to know better--rollie's getting hitched, Aml seems involved (and is dressing, and is looking great), B is joyous over the economy because of the fun of buying for the fund (bargains everywhere), Seamus is in a cool looking Gilbert production.
Oh, Burn the Floor is coming to San Francisco. Oct 2nd. SLO oct 6th. GREAT band.
Dirt Camp!
Decontamination!
