Thanks, Chip!

RC gave me a hand pulling the second transfer case so we could swap it out with a divorced, passenger side drop 205. It gives me a steeper final drive ratio and gives me room to flex the suspension without hitting the drive shaft on the first t-case. I'm flipping the axle backwards so it'll be rear steer as well. ....*sigh* Lot's more to do.

Good Morning Everybody!

I have a few more welds to grind, then it's off to the steel place to get some more plate to build gussets and mounting tabs. I hope to have the axle back in it today or tomorrow.

Morning Alan. Good luck today getting EQ back on his feet.

Well, I guess the boss had better quit killing time in the parking lot and go on in.

Good morning all. RC, have a great day at Alan's, hopefully the DMV there works like the contract office here, ten minutes and you're out the door. In spite of the state office being here in town I prefer the contract office. Now for my last day of the week in office and already starting off with having to call a Kia owner.

Well my day went to crap in a hurry. I didn't get a dang thing done. Just as I was finishing up cleaning the housing of all the old welds and brackets, Tiff calls me and says the general surgeon down there thinks she has appendicitis. She got to Ozark, I took her to the ER from there. After four hours there, they send her home. They hope they can fix her with medicine. Then we had to go to urgent care because as I was finishing up last night, a grinding stone shredded and got a chunk in my eye. They got most of it out, but an opthamologist has to get the rest out with a drill. YES I was wearing eye protection. That doesn't matter with me. I've used goggles that were sealed tight to my face so tight it left a red line where they sealed to my face, but I still got a chunk of metal flung straight in to my eye like they weren't even there. I swear there's some sort of worm hole around my head that makes solid matter dematerialize for several seconds at a time.

So now, not only did I lose an entire day, I'm gonna lose another half of a day tomorrow, and Tiff wants me to drag the camper down to Harrison this weekend because she has call all weekend long. THAT'S FOUR FRIGGIN' DAYS OF WORK COMPLETELY LOST!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP!

Good Morning Everybody!

RC. I tried calling you when we went in to the E.R. and then again when we came out, but there was no answer. After that, my battery died in my phone. It was just a bad day all around.

I still have to get an appointment with the ophthalmologist to see about getting the last little bit of stone drilled out of my eye. In the mean time, I'm gonna get working on cutting the gussets out for the axle housing. In the disaster of yesterday, I did manage to get the steel for that.
