Evening guys, had a crazy past few days, managed to finish all the front end work on my truck, also broke my nose in the process :/ I was drilling out the stud where the coil spring retainer is on the bottom since I broke it when I was taking the coil spring off (nut was totally fused), was in too close and the drill caught and the batter pack got me square on the nose.

Not fun! Went to the hospital, then to the ENT, it's broken in three places so they need to put me under to reset it. My insurance, which is blue cross blue shield, HMO through Hawaii, won't cover it since I am out of network, they say I need an administrative exemption in this case. I had a flight booked to go back to Hawaii for Wednesday, my buddy has some construction projects I am going to help out with. Changed my flight to early Sunday morning since the doctor says I need to get it set ASAP, before it heals all ****ed up, so I have my appointment to do this out in Hawaii on Monday afternoon.

I need to put new upper balljoints into my truck, having to drill and chisel out the old alignment eccentrics really messed them up, so that'll be happening next trip back home.

Hope everyone's weekend is going well and Aloha!

Received my first true blessing of being a father this weekend. I am now the proud owner of the cold my kid brought home from daycare.
