That ribeye was great, and the big old baked potato really topped it off nicely. No white stuff falling on the coast, but it is raining. It needs to go on somewhere I caught the bug to start working on the truck so I'm ready to get a move on it.

I know that bug too. I had a nice time taking care of a few things on Ka'Bluey. My next issue is going to be and leaking axle seal, and most likely brake shoes, I'm sure they're contaminated from that gear lube in the rear axle.

Try this for a potato!
I get a nice sized baker potato, poke it with a fork a couple dozen times, cover it in butter, then wrap a couple strips of bacon around it and wrap it in aluminum foil and cook in the grill

Bob, thought you liked working on Ka'Bluey in the snow, doesn't that make it more fun?

I got outside for a little bit........vary little bit. Mostly to let "Killer" outside a few times. It really didn't feel to bad until that wind smacked me, then it cooled off plenty quick. I spent most of my day playing with a few different guitars, I'm wanting to learn some Doobie Brother's stuff.

Moving right along

I just got a phone call from the NC DMV inspector that came out last week to look at Ka'Bluey. He already received the new "NCS" number that will replace the VIN's that is on the truck now. He'll be out this afternoon to put those on, and take pictures after they are on. And now the paperwork begins after we have the new VIN number.
I guess it really isn't too bad, just four pages, so far. And then I need these notarized and sent in.
Then I'll find out if I need to have Ka'Bluey appraised and get an Indemnity Bond, WTH.

Is this because of the cab swap?
