Hiya Star Hey I have an old Dodge that needs power steering work. Wanna stop by when you're done with yours?

Just got home and showered. It has been a great day! Sunny and almost sixty! Finished my job, went and worked at my folks place doing yardwork.

Job? Got some work there Pol or just a temp job thing? I have tools Star - do you need any specialty tools for power steering?

How long did that take you? Anything new on the employment front?

Nothing special unless it's the pump then might need a puller for the pulley .Most parts places will do them though or rent one !

Four days. Put together lawn furniture, One was a wrap around picknic table.

Yeah Star I think I need a new pump - it's squealing like a banshee all the time and the power steering doesn't work anymore. Once in a while it'll kick in but most of the time I have to brute force the wheel around. Didja make some decent coin for that Pol?

I dunno Star - I may have screwed up the steering box. I had some play in the wheel so I tightened it down - loosened up the lock nut and tightened down that hex bolt ya know? I didn't know it only took a half-turn or so and I cranked it down a few turns. I may have squashed the crap out of the bushings in there.

So what else is new Pol? Any work lined up for next week?

Nothing as of now. But, the people I worked for are throwing a shin dig tomorrow. And they are really impressed with the quality of work. And, are going to drop my name and number to others.
