Grrrr....Don't buy a 1999 Dodge Durango

If you are considering buying a Dodge Durango, do some research, they are a piece of garbage or atleast thier transmission is. My son has one and has the problem of shifting from 2nd to 3rd, goes from abt 1800 rpms and jumps to 4000 rpms before slamming into 3rd. He has taken it back to the dealer, they supposedly replaced gaskets, it was fine for a while now it's doing it again, he has had it to the local Dodge Dealer and instead of knowing what the problem is or trying to find it they have come up with a bunch of other problems with the vehicle in the last 2 trips there, oh they did put the UV dye in the transmission to check for leaks. Well he took it to an independant shop and they took a look at the stuff that Dodge was saying was wrong and low and behold very little was wrong and still has several more miles before having to have work done.

In the mean time I did a google on 1999 Dodge Durango Transmission Problems and found there seems to be some issues with certain parts. Monday he is taking it to a Transmission place and see if they can find the problem.

It's funny, he added an independant extended 2 yr warranty to the vehicle when he bought it from a non Dodge Dealer and all the stuff that Dodge Dealer is now saying needs fixed isn't included in the warranty, yet the transmission has a serious problem and would be covered under warranty and no one so far can "find the problem"

Interior and looks of the Durango are great, I love it but mechanically as far as I'm concerned it sucks, just like the last Ford we owned

Boy do I love my KIA

Another Cradle Purse

I finally got another Cradle Purse done and up for sale. I started this one last yr and had it tested by members on Crochetville I just never finished editing the pattern for errors until recently.

Blueberries is my newest addition and you can find the pattern here along with more pictures.

I hope you stop by and have a look

I am beat

Boy was the weekend busy, we worked on weeding out the gardens and getting bark dust spread around. It sure looks a lot better with the fresh coat of bark dust. Hopefully I can get some pics up soon. Sure takes a lot of work getting the yard whipped into shape from sitting all winter long.

The daffodils are sure blooming and they are so pretty.

Yup, Spring has sprung

As you can see, I just put up some pics of a few of the flowers that are in bloom right now in our gardens.

Our roses are opening up their greenery, my Chocolate Columbine is coming back stronger than last yr, my Bleeding Hearts are really coming up. We have mini Daffodils in bloom. It's definately getting time to get some bark dust down.

I'd really like to have snow, but since we are basically past that and it is sunny warm out, I am ready for spring. Guess now we will have to start working in the yard and whipping it back in shape on the nice days.

Time to think abt getting the patio ready, furniture out, BBQ grills prepped for what else but BBQing. Can't wait to sit out on the patio swing and crochet on a sunny warm day.

Spring Has Sprung in the NW

Cradle Purse Update

Since my first post abt Cradle Purses, I have 2 more patterns that are up for sale in my Etsy store. Born on the 4th of July and Raspberry Clouds. These make great gifts for that special little girl in your life. Hope you check them out.

Cat Graph Ghan

I started this project abt mid January and just finished it up. It really turned out nice. I am planning on entering this project in the Fair this yr. This will be the first time to enter anything at the Fair so am looking forward to it.

This was so much work with all the single crochet stitches but was oh so worth it. It's one of the projects I worked on in between testing patterns for others.

It's layed out on a Queen size bed to give you an idea of how big it is.
