Day 1130

I woke up about 7:30 and got up a little after 8.  After pet stuff and breakfast I went out to the apartment to work. 

I began by repositioning the backing board in the kitchen cabinet.  Then I cut up new backing strips (narrower then the ones from yesterday).  By then it was 10, so I called the Chevy place.  I told them I wanted to understand the test results on the truck better.  The service writer said he'd get back to me.  So I went back out and continued working.  I cut some of the old backing material away on the right wall to make room for the trim pieces.

The service guy called back and said they were ready.  So we drove there.  Lucy stayed in the cage - she's lost her outside the cage privileges.  The service guy was there when we got there.  He called in the head of the service department and the tech.  They explained the test results.  Apparently all of the injectors are returning too much fuel to the fuel filter.  All of them are between 150% and 200% of spec.  A couple are higher.  We've got no choice but to replace them.  It will cost $4K.

Two things piss me off.  First, if it had occurred 17,000 miles ago it would have been covered under warranty.  Second, the asshole who cut the sensor wire kept me from discovering this years age.  Oh well, we're rich.

We've decided that the best way to correct the problem with the TV in the basement may be to replace it.  We looked at TV's at Sam's Club, Best Buy, and Costco.  We'll get a 55 inch one, probably Visio or TLC.  We ate lunch at the Italian place.  We had a coupon for "buy one, get two" pizzas.  We took one and a half pizzas home with us.

When we got home I went back to the apartment to work.  I finished removing the backing on the right wall.  I also marked where the trim should go.  Then I attached the trim on the left and center walls and the wood on the left wall.  Finally, I measured out the wood for the center wall (I still have to cut it).  After that I was tired and quit.

I went back into the house, got the dog, and went to the mailbox.  Then it was surfing because it was too early to eat after a late lunch.  Eventually I had leftover pizza and salad for dinner.

After dinner it was football and surfing.
