A few favors paid and a sample of heat
I grabbed the car from Tim today, so I could finish up some of the electrical work, before the scheduled work day started tomorrow. It was nice to have the car, as I was able to pay off a few debts by giving some rides in the car. I was headed out to go grab a spare tire for the trailer, when my mom pulled in the driveway. My mom helped organize the East Rochester Library staff donations for this trip, so it was nice to be able to take her for a ride around the block.
I made it up to Irondequoit to get the spare tire and stopped in to see the Buehler’s, who live around the corner from where I was headed. We put the family in the car and did a nice expressway drive around the proverbial block, so they could enjoy the car as well. Phil and Sherianne had made a private donation to the car, so it was nice to share what all of our hard work had gone into.
It is unusually hot in Rochester today, giving me a glimpse at how painful it is going to be to have a car without air conditioning down south. It we will need to keep a cooler in the trunk or trailer to be sure we can keep some cold towels on standby. Sitting still in the car, the temperature is rising. Rising more than it should at least, meaning we need to be sure to test the radiator fan switch tomorrow. I also plan on making a length of wire to by pass the temperature sensor to bring with us.
Tomorrow we have one of the last full work days on the car. While the work list is light compared to our past efforts, there really is no more time left to entertain putting things off.
