Kind of sounds like the weather we get in Washington (west side of the Cascades), without really bad storms.

 

Eastern Washington has more traditional seasons, hot hot summers, and a lot of snow in the winter, on the good side WW, we see a little bit of everything, usually in excess. If it snows, we will see a couple of feet, but it will be in a 2 - 5 day time frame, then gone for the year. Just shuts down the whole region, and you really never know what month during winter or early spring it will hit.

Indeed, my Mom lives in Longmont, CO. East side of the Rockies - they call it the "Front Range."
Interesting weather, there, as well. Hot Summers, cold, cold Winters and, when it snows, it's either a dusting or a few feet.

45 this morning. Heat came on. Thermostat at 67 deg. I found turning leaves last week on an ATV ride at elevations higher than our home.

Our average high will drop 8 degrees this month to 92. A few weeks away from my favorite 6 months when I come out of hibernation.

Winter is coming, I love summer but there's something about the cold weather that I like. My husband started checking 4WheelOnline for a new set of winter tires.

Supposed to be 92 next week though. We aren't out of it yet

 

Texas had a very mild summer anyways. I have a feeling the winter is gonna be either very mild or very very cold.

High of 60 yesterday. 37 this morning.

82 for the week here but getting a cold front that will bring down the dew points to the 50's instead of the 80's which will feel nice for a change.

Cool front came through. 69 degrees overnight 84 today. Fall is here. 50s tonight, brrrrrrr.😳 my favorite 6 months stretch is here.

There is one thing about winter I do like. Around here the tourists, looky loo's, and nosey people are gone. We live off a road that is a dead end with our cul-de-sac branching off it. So there is no way out, you must back track. It is posted, No outlet, private property. They are county roads. 

In winter the vehicles the come down are cul-de-sac are the propane truck, delivery trucks and the water company trucks.

Privacy is the reason people live in places like this. You could live on the moon and someone would not respect that wish. I am sorry that happens to you sir. 

 

It has gotten cool enough for enough days to get the maples to start turning and stunt the ripening rates of both my tomatoes and squash to about double. Spiders are loving it. Nest everywhere you look. Time for beddy-bye.

    • I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.        
    • This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.
    • Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
    • He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
    • Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
