Crap happens at Geezerville too!

Mostly good crap. Bad crap this week was while I was laying on the floor under
the car I move over on a spider. It bite me on the back. That hurt for about three days, but is better now.

The stars were lined up just right, and I ordered the ac hose. The reason it has took so long to get around to making this order is I went top on the line, the very best.
These ac lines not only look good, they should last 50 years without any problem.
I am using Braided Stainless Steel Lines & Fittings. The hose was $13.35 per foot.
The fittings were $25.55 each and $39.60 each for the ones with service ports. A total of 12 fittings. I have to cut them to correct length and install the fittings.

I got the tracking number, and the day they were on the local truck for delivery
I set in the yard waiting for Buster Brown to come down the street.
He didn't have to get out of the truck, because I met him at the street.

It was like Christmas, for the opening of the box. I fitting missing, they were out and not back ordered or nothing. Another for wrong, but I order it wrong.
I am using the same kind of lines for the heater hose too. I forgot to order the fittings that the heated hose needs to go tho the engine.

I got one of the six lines install and now got to make another order Monday.
This order was well over six hundred dollar and Monday will be up near another hundred with shipping. Back to the waiting game.

It is going to be one sharp looking flathead when it all come together.

more good crap than bad.
