That's funny!
My mother-in-law lives with us and she is on my last nerve right now. But, it is what it is and I'll get over it. They just get so hard the older they get!
Send me out in Zion National forest when I get that way and let a bear get me!

My wife found my Dad unable to unlock the door, eating only crackers and not talking his meds. I don't think I have ever seen her so mad except when my daughter had a party in our house when we were gone. She demanded I move my Dad from Detroit to Nebraska and told me to go get a uhaul. My brother was suppose to be taking care of him but wasn't!!

That does it....I am kicking everyone's butts!! just kidding....I just had to chime in since I have been outta the loop for a week or so. Bill, I feel yoyr pain on the in-laws thing. I keep telling my FIL that he always has a place when he is done taking care of himself. now granted, he is still working and is 100% capable, but when that day comes, he'll be with us...no questions.

Thanks guys. I love my in laws to death and we'll do what ever we need to do to take care of them. We have thought about moving in with them, but it would be so much easier if we could get them to move in here.
As far as the truck goes, Tyler came over after work and helped me pull the trans back out, got the leak fixed and back in the truck, so we'll see what I can get done this weekend. One thing I forgot about was, when I started this project and was taking the rear drive shaft out, I noticed the carrier bearing was at little bit of a weird angle. The bracket it bolts to is bent a little, so I have to fix that. I may just bolt the one from my other CC on and straighten this one later.

Look what Bill inspired me to buy...
I found a great deal on this on eBay - $165 shipped! I'm super excited. The mods to my truck are few and far between, so its that much better when I do something!
Now Bill, hurry up and get your truck finished! hehe.

..................Now that's funny right there! You don't think I'd actually spend that much on Tyler do you?!?!? The most I've ever spent on him was........well, $0.00!! LOL!! And that was too much!!!! LOL!!!I didn't buy that turbo. I just got it for a friend of mine here. He has a '96 ECSB that he wants to do some mods to. He wants me to do the e-fuel, and probably build the T4 mount and pipes.
Speaking of pipes....I got my down pipe all welded up last night, the power steering pump changed and the radiator in. I had to go get a new pressure line for the power steering pump yesterday. When I changed the pump, just turning it by hand the line was leaking. I got the DP painted this morning with some high temp paint, but now I have to stop and go grocery shopping
. This bachelor stuff SUCKS after you been married for 21 years! LOL!! I should have some pics up tonight.
