'A' started off the weekend with an attempted field goal on the bed post.
Saturday 'A' took her PSAT tests at school. Then, 'S', had a volleyball game, and they had a close battle but came up short. She is showing lots of promise in the sport.
Saturday night the girls went to the movies.
Sunday morning We had a fundraiser carwash in the rain. We had one car show up, and we all got wet, but it was for a good cause. We raised money( tickets were pre-sold) for the new team, and we bonded.
We left there, and I had an alarm installed on the new rig ( A's Ranger)
While driving around that day, I noticed a horific squeal under the hood. The neighbor and I, troubleshot the issue for 2 hours. We removed the belt, and replaced the idler pulley( that didn't fix it) All the squealing seemed to come from that area. We sprayed some wd-40 on the back of the pully, and the sound temporarity went away. I sprayed again in the clutch pulley of the AC compressor, temporary fix.
I finally took it to my mechanic, and he replaced it with a smaller serpentine belt, and the problem went away. I am glad that fixed it, but I would have bet it was going to be something bigger like the compressor itself.
Serpentine belt installed = $83
