Tibs:

I was wondering, so that I dont have to wonder anymore, those red shoes that your wearing in your avatar.... Did you borrow those red shoes from Caridwen ?

FranC:

So your a country gal who has some interest in Wolves:

You might find this interesting. The Minnesota Timberwolf, was almost extinct not to long ago. Now its a protected animal by law. But the cattle ranchers cant stand them. (They are harmless creatures too people very timid, so timid you its hard to find them.) The farmers dont like them cause they kill cattle for food. And there is only one way to get rid of them, you have to get rid of the female. Its because the female is the leader of the pack. <<<(as it should be right?) You wont find this in Wikepia animal habitat studies, but according those who live around wolves, A single female can have a pack of males with them. Including there pups for a few years. So the farmers sometimes kill the female, burn them and spread the ashes against the law. <<< at least this is what i hear. And they spread the ashes because a lot them are tagged so the DNR knows where they are all the time. Then the Wolves leave, presumably in search of another female. No worries really for the Wolves. Cattle ranching and dairy ranching in Minnesota is real small compared to a while back. In one township they had 17 dairy farmers years ago, today in that township there is only ONE left. So the Timberwolf has survived and is flourishing. The Black Bear has made a strong come back too. Once in a while a stray cougar cat runs thru. <<< ONly seen one of those my entire life.

Good luck,Atty:) I hope the repairs go well.

Your DH would be....not very impressed...but would maybe clap.

1st 1/2 done. Pump off. Pulley pulled. Pain-in-the-posterior to get at one bolt, but otherwise largely uneventful.

And: Need confirmed. After pulling the pulley off, I saw what's left of the front bearing/seal. Wasn't pretty. ;) They have "rebuild kits" for them. Kit is about 15.00 - 20.00 bucks. New pump with reservoir is 60. After spending all this time pulling it...I'm just putting on a new pump. Who knows what else could go wrong with it if I attempt to rebuild it. I can't test it except in use anyway...bad way to test it. So..."new" rebuilt pump.

P.S.
Hi Bear, Mad, Sky and gang.
