Ok, I'll give a few 'what the heck has been going on around the garage' updates.
First, do to the economy and just my general attitude around my business I have closed that door, the 'dump truck' sits in the car port or in the yard, depending on what I'm doing, I'm spiffing it up a bit cause, well, it's been neglected, I cleaned up the interior, fixing stuff like the broken switch plate on the drivers side door panel, replacing door speakers, clean out junk that has accumulated in pockets and under and between the seats. Still need seat covers, not upholstery just covers, I swapped to buckets years ago and covers save the seat upholstery from wear and tear. Now I'm also spiffing up the bed too. May sell it, may not.
Other things have needed to be done,
Working on Brand X occasionally, I thought I fixed the gas gauge but it's back to acting up, and replacing steering components, and it will still put you in the ditch if you apply the brakes, I'm gonna replace the steering box and hope that helps, it doesn't appear to be the brake, I hate to work on it. Then I grabbed a 05 toyota to buzz around town with, it is a one owner, high mileage, clean, cheap driver that I couldn't pass up. But it too needed a few things but it's cheap to drive and easy to fix.
And then got a surprise, well there was a mention a couple times but now there is a plan, it involves a small wedding, in the back yard, in August (I think). Right, let's add to the list
Just add some more things I need to do on top of the other things that she got me started on that are almost done but got interrupted by ' while you're doing that, do this too because I found these that need this or that done' before I can finish this and so I have 200 things, some almost finished, some not started yet because, well you get the idea.
I got time, I'm now retired.
Now car crap update: as some will remember I have two fox mustangs, the Junk Pyle and the Stunt Double. I've had the SD of a few years, never really had a plan for it, just a decent body that has not been f'd with, the thing with this fox is it does not have a sun roof.
but I have sold it, my own personal 'barn find' car. I'll give more info with pics later.
Oh, I forgot about the dog
We recently had to put down 2 cats we've had for many years (16-17 yrs?) One was like my best friend
.
In the past the 'girl on the other end of the couch ' has said 'no more animals after these are gone' yeah right!!!! A few weeks ago she said something about getting a dog, a Dachshund, so the hunt began, first I looked for a rescue but they were either old, blind, deaf or cross bread with a f'n chihuahua which looks stupid to me. Well soon she found a puppy near us, yes I said a puppy, oh fun. AND a few more things added to that list, we'll be picking it up in a couple weeks, can't wait
.
Ok, I think you're up to date, now I gotta get to work, ahhhh where did I put that list? And coffee. More coffee
