to the tune of Auld Lang Syne (the new year song) When what the time is, you forgot, And you think you've lost your mind... When clocks move up, and bars are closed, It's Daylight Saving Time... It's Daylight Saving Time, you see, It's Daylight Saving Time... When all your clocks are out of...

So, through process of elimination, and observation, not to mention the input of a good buddy who knows more than I about this sort of thing, I have a failing master cylinder on my friend's Jeep... Pedal gets partially down, then gets squishy to the floor, fluid is leaking between master and...

It's warm! 45 out... Windows down and sunroof open all the way to the post office!!!

That sucks... Equally as bad is the bloody idiot on the cell phone in the stall right next to ya... "How are you? You there? How's it going?" And you respond, and then realize that they're talking on a cell phone... This is the part where I make it VERY obvious to the person on the other end...

The tornado sirens are testing now... Are YOURS?

A very Happy Birthday to you! I hereby retroactively dedicate one of my glasses of beer tonight to you!!!

This is the part where Saurian spent the evening drinking several bottles of his Michigan Wine collection... And then friends came over. And then we had more wine, and some bottles from my first batch of homebrewed beer... Then we went to the local brewery, where I had 4 glasses of sack mead...

I like your thinking there... If it's been proven, for better or for worse, it's because someone went ahead and did it...

Ooh... Magic Light! Y'know, if I actually thought about using one of those before I started tearing things apart, I would probably have about a month of my life back by this point... It usually hits me that there was an easier way when I have a pile of parts and wires sitting in my lap...

Now, my dad explained this to me... He said that if you put in a quart of ATF with the oil (5 qts. oil, 1 qt. ATF (4.0 L)), for one oil-change cycle, it will quiet lifter noise and such because it goes through and cleans out all the sludge in the oil system, particularly the itty-bitty passages...

When you get what you want in your struggle for self, And the world makes you king for a day... Just got to the mirror, and look at yourself, And see what THAT man has to say. For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife, Whose judgement upon you must pass... The fellow whose verdict counts...

Aaaaahhh... That explains everything! I was wondering why my bank and post office were closed... Not to mention the Secretary of State, and Civic Center... course, that could be because it's 10:00 PM too...

If you had a quart of extra oil in there, it's gotta release the pressure somewhere, and I would expect the most delicate part for that would be the oil pressure sensor... I've heard all kinds of horror stories, from leaving the old filter gasket on, snapping off the dipstick tube, all the way...

No worries... Heck, I learned a bunch of new things while I was ripping out fuses and reading manuals, and new knowledge is always good... You should be able to hear the pump running even if the lines are frozen up, turn the key to ON, radio and blowers off, and see if you can hear it trying to...

Curses... Foiled again! But did ya know... Mingez worked and worked at it, but eventually discovered that the medical field was not for him... Not wanting to go back into the furniture biz, he floated around, doing a little of this, and a little of that, until he ended up finding his calling...

Allrighty... I pulled a bunch of fuses, and tried my best to follow the wiring diagrams from my factory service manual... I'm working with an '00 Cherokee, but I'm pretty sure that the wiring system is the same on 97+... From what I found out, the 20 amp circuit breaker controls the wipers, and...

According to my owners manual, the windshield wiper system is controlled by a 20 amp circuit breaker, located in the fuse panel behind the kickplate on the passenger side... Going out to the Jeep now to see if that controls the wiper pump system, will be back in a couple minutes.

There once was a swagman, camped by a billabong... Under the shade of a coolibah tree. And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me... Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me... And he sang as he watched...

The Roseville Clock Shop is closed... I'd never been there, passed by it a few times, and today was going to see about getting a clock repaired. Drive all the way out to Roseville, and they're closed for good... A bit random, but unfortunate nonetheless...

*Gasp*! She lives!!! Welcome back, hope all is well...
