.....500 bucks for a fuel pump...must be in the gasoline tank.
Water pump....Should get by with 250 to 300.

Larry and railcar, I have you beat on the price. Last May I had to have the injection pump on my Dodge Cummins replaced. Total bill: $1900, $1300 of which was the part (diesel injection ain't cheap!!)
My water pump failed two weeks later, but I changed it myself, was only two bolts and the serpentine belt, had it done in about an hour (try that with today's gas motors!).
Just putzed around in both diners today (virtual and real), but about time to go to bed again, will run the last few miles to Dallas tomorrow morning, hook up again, and stay there untill it's appointment time. Of course, then I'll have to deal with the lumpers.......
See everyone later....

150 for the tow and 1,350 for the new pump ( pump inside gas tank )
Hi everyone,
Just dropping by for a glass of tea on the way home.
Cris, good to meet your acquaintance and really enjoyed the shots from the 49th state. Looking forward to seeing the pictures you took on the glacier.
Hope the evening goes well for our favorite ladies in the Cafe
The lemon icebox pie was great the other night Ms. Paula and the peach cobbler recipe is being used my my better half this week end.
See you folks later. It is a warm Tarheel Night, great to sit on the porch

CCSS - I'm sure there are some try-ware and share-ware programs out there that will let you do that. I'm not sure about Photoshop. You'd be creating a GIF, at any rate.
CW - It was very tough to come back to reality. Thankfully, I think I missed Denver's heat wave for the year while I was gone. The temp got up to 104ºF while I was away. In fact, we had a bit of Alaskaesque weather over the weekend with temps in the 60s and almost constant rain. It was the perfect weather for working on my shots! I do have some railroad shots coming up. Skagway was our next port of call after Juneau, and that means the White Pass and Yukon. I did as much of the line as one can currently do right now (up to Carcross, Yukon Territory). The line goes to White Horse, but currently the railroad isn't running that far north.
Tree - Now that I have my passport, I've thought about traveling more of the world, but it really does seem like I should see more of my country first. I started filling out a map of US counties that I've traveled to, and it was kind of shocking just how few I've been in! I don't even have any complete states yet (though I'm close on a couple of them). I've never been up your way yet, so a northeast color trip might be kind of nice. I've never been to California (or any of the west coast apart from what I covered on the AK trip). I'm missing some very big names in the national park system (here again, I'm even missing a national park in my own state! I have yet to get to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP). I think I'll focus my efforts here before I even think about going too far abroad.
Mook - If you think these are cold, just wait until I get my glacier shots posted! That blue ice just feels cold even while looking at pictures! I should have some Mendenhall Glacier shots up shortly, but the stuff from Glacier Bay NP and College Fjord are simply stunning (and downright frigid looking)!
Speaking of the glaciers, do any of you know how to do animated GIFs? I've got some sequences of glaciers calving icebergs (one is really, really impressive!), and it would be fun to post those as animated GIFs, but I have no idea how to do that.

....Well sure, if you were still dealing with humidity....you needed the air running. This has to be some kind of record here. Humidity as low as it's been for this amount of time. Indiana in deep summer with low humidity, just doesn't happen very often.
It was nice....Like to have the windows open when possible.
Q - our temps went down but humidity never did. And the late summer allergies - I can't even go there. We kept our AC on as always - until first freeze.
Our seasons consist of flip from heat to ac to heat....
J
.....Well the days of windows open now for 10 days or two weeks or so seems to be coming to a hault. Just closed up and started A/C.....Humidity is on the rise and it was not that comfortable as we arrived back home here after doing a few errands and having lunch.
Chris - great pictures. Felt the chill off of them, however. Even in summer, it still looks cold.
CW - after supper tonite, we will have to sit on the porch again - days are a little cooler and makes the evenings nice to be out.
Chris
thanks for sharing.yeah matt and I watch deadliest catch on TV.Larry hope they get your truck fixed in a jiffy.Randy hurry up and wait.Time to do some errands.Cw thanks for lunch.

Hi Everybody!
I've kind of been in lurk mode lately. I've been busy at work since getting back from Alaska. After work I've been trying to get 20-40 miles of biking in, too. With the time remaining, I've been trying to work on my Alaska shots. I came home with over 1500 images. Of those, I plan to post about 300 on my site, and I'm about a third of the way through that process. I haven't gotten to the White Pass & Yukon or Alaska Railroad shots (when I do, I'll be sure to devote a dedicated post to it) yet, but here's a quick glimpse at some of the fun stuff I've posted so far:
All kinds of transportation options around Vancouver!
Two of the other cruise ships, the MS Serenade of the Seas and the MS Statendam, that set sail about the same time we did (I was on the MS Sapphire Princess).
A glimpse of part of the Inside Passage in BC.
Yours truly in his nice duds for one of the formal nights aboard the ship.
Any fans of Discovery Channel's show, Deadliest Catch? That's the Rollo, that appeared in a couple of the earlier seasons. I also ran into the Aleutian Ballad, which you'll recall was the ship that got hit by the rogue wave. That wasn't quite as exciting, though. She's a tour boat running out of Ketchikan now.
Kind of an archetypal view of Alaska's Inside Passage
I didn't have any excursions planned in Ketchikan, so I just wandered around the town. I found a trail heading into the rainforest east of town, so I had to take that!
Some BIG leaves in the Alaskan rainforest.
A breaching humpback whale in Snow Pass. Not the best photo, but it was taken totally on instinct as he kind of surprised us when he did this!
A pod of orcas not too far from Juneau.
A fun, misty shot taken as we were getting into Juneau.
A shot of Juneau taken from Mt. Roberts. That's the USS Juneau docked in Juneau. How cool is that?!
Finally (for now at least) the fluke of a diving Humpback taken near Juneau. It was taken while I was out chasing whales in something just a bit bigger than a Zodiac. I've never been afraid of using manual focus lenses, but I'm wishing I had had an Autofocus long lens on this occasion! It's tough to focus on a subject that appears for a few seconds at a time while bouncing around on some fairly choppy water in a small boat! My keeper rate was way, way down!
Sorry about all the pictures for those of you with dial up. I just had a blast and it's hard to show just a couple Alaska shots!
Today's noon and supper menu:
1. Leftover country style short ribs w/carrots, potatoes & onion w/mashed taters and gravy
2. BLTs w/fries and your choice of cole slaw or fresh garden salad
3. Your choice of burgers or cheeseburgers w/fries or you can have baked potato; cole slaw or fresh garden salad
Mookie, really enjoyed sitting outside w/you this morning. Now, if only I could get rid of this darn sinus headache, I'd really be doing all right!!
Randy ; are you at Lowes or Walmart?? You must have done some hard & fast runnin' from St.Louie . Our home 20 is 31mi. S.Se. of there at Malfunction , Jct. ( sr.69 & I-17) . Ya'll take care now heah.

Sounds like a plan. Service department has the truck, but can't get the part until noon. Have to check out of motel by 11. Hopefully ticking keys on laptop won't be an issue.

I've been lurking. Both work and home projects have me hopping for a change- I barely have time to do a quick scan of the recent posts most days.

Morning all.....
Well, I is stuck under this load until it drops on Wednesday morning, at least I'll get my 34-hour restart out of it, just have to run the wheels off the rest of the week to make up for the loss. Such is the life of a truck driver.....
Will take breakfast and a seat out on the porch/patio for the morning, taking it easy for the next day or so.......

morning
a sticky morning to start today. A co-worker got a rude awakening this weekend. his 4 year old neighboor decided to take moms car for a ride.She wanted to make his house a drive thru.Thankfully no one was hurt.Cw thanks for breakfast.time for a nap.
Good morning, it's Monday. Yechhhh. Oh well, happens every week about this time. CW, thanks for breakfast. Larry, hopefully you get the problem located and get home soon. I'm sure your puppy will welcome you back. BTW, what railroad do you work with? Currently 67 degrees on an August morning in Carolina, with high 80s and thunder forecast. It looks like we will get some rain when Fay passes to the west of us Friday. Both western SC and Georgia can well use the rain, and plenty of it. Everybody take care.

Good Monday morning, everyone. Larry, hope you manage to get the truck fixed, so you can get on home.
Coffee, juices are ready to go, got the water hot for tea, and there's ice cold Gatorade also this morning.
On the warmer/breakfast bar: turkey bacon, pork sausage, biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, toast, sliced peaches, cantaloupe, watermelon, bagels and bear claws.
Mookie, if you come in, how about we meet out in the garden, and take in the beautiful weather. I'll bring your coffee mug out for you, and whatever you want for breakfast. (We girls have to stick together, you know)
On the railroad today, but didn't make it home tonight. After a brief stop to pick up a couple of things on the way home, the truck won't start. There's a dealer of the proper persuasion right across from the motel I'm camped in for the night, so I'll see if they can deal with it in the AM. If not, I'll have to figure out my next step.
Time for bed.
Looks like it's been very slow in here today. Joe, got a container ready for you to take to work tonight.
Mookie and others: glad you liked our Sunday Dinner menu for today.
Mutt: thank you for setting everything out on the warmer bar for me!! Your help, as with the other helpers in here is greatly appreciated!!
Everyone have a great evening and take care!!
Afternoon/evening all....
Mookie, yep I do get around, according to my Qualcomm, I have logged 2280 miles since Wednesday, not too bad for me. Kind of in a dead spot now, my current load doesn't deliver untill 5am Wednesday, hoping I can just drop it in Fort Worth, we shall see what happens....
Mudchicken, I have seen him online in a friends forum, will shake the trees and see if I can get him to check in here, I do know he got back recently from a trip to Alaska, he took some great shots. Come to think of it, haven't heard much from Brian (IA) either......
Ribs sound great for dinner, will have a plateful, and back in later....
Cw thanks for supper.Did alot of cleaning out today.We also mailed out a couple things to our new friends we found in deshler.Time to get stuff around for work tonight.
