Well. They cancelled our severe cold warning.........
...
...for about 2 hours today then reinstated it. [emoji36]
It's only -18c but the windchill brings it down to -46c. Yes, it's f@##@g cold out there. I drove to the border earlier then was out and about all afternoon dealing with my wife's Yukon. It's good to go now but as it was so cold, it blew a power steering line. It gets better.... I topped it up Saturday night but Sunday morning, when I went to drive it the power steering pump was froze up. I could barely turn the steering wheel. So it was towed to the garage yesterday. They got it inside and let it thaw for a few hours and changed the hose. They also tested the battery among other things. It's a 2012 with the original ac delco battery that was supposed to be putting out 650cca. Instead, it was barely pushing 200cca. So I set out to find a new battery. That's a whole other story for another time.(let's just say I'm no longer welcome in Walmart) LMAO.
I found another battery with 750cca, came home, installed it. In the process of being outside freezing my a$$ off changing a battery, I dropped a ratchet and socket down the inner fender well. It's still there. On a warmer day, I'll pull the front tire and plastic inner fender to see if I can access it. Long story shortened is that my wife now has her vehicle back with a new battery and power steering hose. My a$$ fell off out in that cold, and I'm starting to regain feeling in my face.
Canadian eh!!!
