Sheesh

[sukchew at cox.net (Chuck Blue)]

Man, I hate doing house stuff.It's not nearly as much fun as car work even 
when it's bad.I just finished having my house bleached ,siding repaired and 
a new finish put on it.It's a cedar home so it got a clear wood finish 
applied.I'm still finishing up some of the minor stuff.
  I can't help on te tranny parts.A trip to the pick n pull may be in your 
future.
