bosch starter
geo's done!!
YAAYYY!!!
the starter was shipped from Salt Lake City, and finally arrived today. It cranks wonderfully, and i drove it around awhile to get the engine hot, let it sit and heat soak, and it still cranks wonderfully... like it ought to...
unlike the last starter which apparently was thrown together in a mexican sweat shop.
I still can't remember the last starter's brand... it was like 'accu-spin' or something equally uncomfortable.
When I returned the first starter, they had to give me core charge money too so i could pay for the core on this Bosch one. They already had sent away my core (the original starter). If i can find a starter small enough to fit in this box, i can get core money ($17) for it too. So far the extra starters I have around are too big to fit in the box :(
On another note, our annual friend the stag beetle came to visit again yesterday. I found him trying, unsuccessfully, to get out of the recycle bin, so I rescued him and left him near the hydrangea bush. The last few years he seemed to end up in the garage somehow, and we would relocate him to the back yard. They're supposed to live several years. I don't normally like bugs, but some are OK. I think I'll call him Gobo.
