Yeah Jay, apparently next day means different things to them than it does to me.

We ended up with almost 2" of snow overnight, it looks like winter around here..................finally.

Not so much, but the alternative is paying someone to do it.

Pulled my sled in the garage last night to start changing the A arm bushings, rebuild front shocks, change rear springs and idler wheel bearings. But found another repair needed. Got the shocks pulled off and the left side upper attachment point had a piece broke. There is a metal inner hole and aluminum outer and the back hole got egg shaped and flexed the metal portion enough to break it. So I need to weld it back in and make a metal bracket to go on the outside with a bolt hole in it to temporarily fix the egg shape hole. Here is a picture of where the metal piece broke out
