It's 7.30am and I've had some "shed time" and come back to bed again. I've been gathering data about the beast. I want assemble a kit of spare parts to cater for travel emergencies and this morning I was working on the belts..... It has 3.... a belt for the water pump, another for the power steering pump and the third for the alternator. Usually a vehicle just has one belt for all three.... but this arrangement is a sort of safeguard..... if one belt breaks, it won't affect the other parts. I had planned to remove the 3 belts and take them down to the parts shop to find matching belts..... but this morning I realised that each belt has a part number on it..... so I'll see if that information will help me find spares. I also need radiator hoses. Eventually I will add a water pump to the spares being carried.
Yesterday I did the annual backup of this blog. Each year I create a pdf file of the recent posts....
Lately I've noticed how Kaylia is maturing..... this is a variable process with some areas progressing more than others. But I like the way that she is happy overall. I can often hear her in her room talking to herself..... and it's a very happy sound.
