Look under the hood see if there is a box that looks like a fuse box. Open it and see if there are several relays, they will be about 1" square. If there are look for one that says EFI or fuel pump. Trade it with one that says something that is not important like A/C. See if this solves it. I would suspect it is a relay rather than the pump but. If they are fuses same thing and look for any that are bad.

ETA this will most likely be on the driver side inner fender.

Great advise.

I don't think that I like bring molested by a cat that drools, and has a fetish for my chest.

But Achmed the Terrifying Terrorist is needing his mama fix tonight.

I might just be the allergy to cats though. nah it's the drool.....

It has been snowing and raining here on and off all day, but still about the same inch we had when I went to bed last night. This afternoon I drove to Issaquah. There is no snow in North Bend or Issaquah, the snowline appears to be halfway down my street which puts it at 750 feet elevation

I had to go to Lowes for bunch of 1/2 inch hardware cloth to keep those pesky raccoons out of my new chicken run. They don't know how to do math there. 3'X10' of 19 gauge wire is $13 and change per roll. 3'X25' of 20 gauge is $43 and change per roll. I would have expected the larger roll to be about $33, or maybe less since it is thinner wire. I bought up all their 10' lengths but still needed 1 roll of 25'. They would not reduce the price.


I love the happy puppy story

gotta go force my kids to catch up on their homework .... I can hear their groaning already. I bet they are wishing for more snow, and more improtantly, snow in town so school will be cancelled. We can have a foot up here, but if there is nothing in town, it just means I'm shoveling the driveway out so I can drive the little buggers to school.

Friday was trash day ... missed pick up last week because the garbage trucks won't come when the road is icy. We had an extra bag to set out that would not fit in the can. I look out the window shortly after we put the bag out, and the neighbor's chicken eating dog was tearing up the trashbag! DH and I collected the garbage and re-bagged it. Then we had to do it twice more ... 3 times in 40 minutes. The last time DH was really, really

and he went across the street to

at the neighbor. They were not home. DH was even angrier because their other 3 dogs are well behaved ... those dogs were in their house. The neighbors let their bad dog out when they are not home so it won't rip up their house, he just rips up the neighborhood instead! Then DH got an idea. Said he was worried about their dog being out in the street, wanted to make sure it did not get hit by a car. He made it safe for their dog. He hauled all our trash to their house and dumped it out on their driveway so the dog would not have to cross the street to get to our garbage. I liked that solution, though I don't think it makes for good neighborly relations.

I like the solution to the problem. At this point the neighbor relationship is in the toilet anyway through no fault of anyone at your house. So I am not sure that I would worry to much about what they might think about their dog that doesn't seem to get the idea of living a long time with humans. lol

Dude not me. I am just not that old. I do remember Wunda Wunda though. I think it was the first thing I may have seen on a TV. But I have to remember that we never had a TV that belonged to out family while I was growing up. I do remember that the first thing I ever saw on a color TV was the Beatles sing I want to hold your hand at stadium. I can remember understanding sort of why the girls were so excited, but I still knew that they were spassed out for crying and fainting. I just wanted to sing with the band.

J P Patches was great too. I can't remember any other shows from that time.

Okay I am nearly that old.

Edited to add that I still love Wunda Wunda.

I had a great time visiting with Pongoid, and T-Hi yesterday. We are going to eat tamales for lunch/breakfast.

T-Hi has got thinking about getting the group together again. What about sometime in March or May. February is still possible, nut is now getting really close on time. Does anyone have a meeting place that is affordable. The Enumcaw Senior center is 20.00 per hour and is very easy to locate. T-hi mentioned that the Bonney Lake Senior Center is 50.00 per hour, but it is a little more difficult to locate if you are unfamiliar with the Lake Tapps/ Bonney Lake area. I am willing to look into places that are more central to the western side of the State. I could check into the Ellensburg area if that really works for a large part of the group. We will need to make up our minds very soon because to the time is starting to slip away and before we know it we will be planting the gardens one way or another. lol

I will start a Chicken Stock thread as soon as we have a group consensus on how many are interested, and a clue as to when. We should be able to get the group together for about 10.00 or so per family. We could even be in a position to start a fund to help those in need of feed here in the state this year.

There are moments when I love nasty little dogs. He just figured out that the cat was harassing me. He was a very sleepy little dog.

The cat is now outside again.

And now I am going to take the nasty little dog to bed with me.

If you lay the bag out Just Right, the neighbors will think that the dog drug it across the street and then tore it up in their yard.

Ellensburg would be great, I might be able to make it then. Actually, I would make every possible effort to come. We have a camp trailer and I would just bring it down, or I could stay with realitive in Yakima.

Hey you live on the right side of the mountain for me. I could do that. I mean shoot I cooked 3 meals a day for a week for 16 at the dunes and all I had for a kitchen was our tiny travel trailer. I bet ya have a real kitchen that would make it much easier. I don't know if I like to cook because I did 10+ years in resturants or if I did the resturants because I like to cook.

Well, come on over then. We have a nice big tent we could set up for you in the yard. Small house....you could bunk with the big kid, but he snores. Course, if you are going to cook....we could kick the kid into the tent. Hmmmmmm, there's an idea.
