She usually knows who we are, but she has absolutely no short-term memory, and her bones are quite weak, so she's had 3 major falls this past year, in which she broke a rib , had compression fractures in her spine, and broke her hip. Her food all goes through the blender now, and she often has no appetite, except for ice cream. She's slowly fading away, but every now and then she really rallies. She lives with my brother and his wife through most of the year, but DH and I take her in here for a few months during the summer to give him a break.

So very sorry. Thank god for the rallies. God bless her and y'all, and prayers to you all.

Holy carp!!! 15 minutes to replace a water pump plus other cooling system maintenance?!?!?! What the h**l were you...your own one-man pit crew?!?!?!?! :confused: Most folks can't change their own oil in less than 15 minutes. o_O
I don't EVER remember a water pump takin' even REMOTELY CLOSE to as little as 15 minutes to replace.
At least, not on cars I've ever replaced them on. My '71 Olds Cutlass with a Rocket 350 took considerably longer. The fan, the belts, the pulleys, the bolts, scrapin' off the old gasket, cleanin' the block surface, puttin sealer on the new gasket, etc., etc., etc.
I thought that would be the worst until I volunteered to help my BIL replace his on an '81 Chevy Chevette about 20 years ago. Had to take off the timing cover and belt to get to that one (as is also the case with the vehicle I presently drive).

As far as our girls go, they both know the basics, and if they ever have questions about a repair they call/come to me (although, oldest's DFiance knows plenty himself). Youngest is a bit more into vehicles and loves her old truck although she's savin' for a newer model. She can replace bulbs, change oil, replace a flat tire, etc. They know pretty well how not to get taken by somethin' they can't do themselves and have to take to the shop. Plus, it helps that we have a trusted mechanic. :)

OK, 20 minutes... Happy? Whats the big deal, start draining the anti-freeze, loosen the alternator while that's happening, to take the belt off, take the fan off (four bolts) four or five on the water pump, pull the hose off by loosening the clamps, a small sharpened putty knife to remove the gasket, smear on some gasket sealer, put on the new gasket and pump, tighten the bolts, replace the hose connections, put the fan back on, tighten the belt, put the antifreeze back in and drive off.
That, of course, was the good old days when you could easily see and get to the water pump.

The storm forecast was pretty far off today. At least by WI standards. Some rain and thunder, nothing else. Rain has stopped since about 8 and they said we'd have "nasty" storms at 8.

You could always pimp it up by doing a fight with shark shaped pillows.

I can do stuff in rain and thunder but my mom is a different story. She gets in a bad mood when one drop of rain hits her.
