Picked up the pinion seal for the Lightning yesterday and I also got a gallon of gear oil for the motorhome. The motorhome could have one of 2 different seals and both are overnight order so I will have to pull the drive shaft and seal and see which one I have as there is no tag on the axle.

Taking little guy for a checkup this morning and to get his first set of immunizations.

Hey Texxan, my Condolences to your family.

Turner the mirrors look great! Are you going to keep them Chrome or paint them to match the truck?

Sorry Texxan about your loss.
Little guy is real fussy after getting his shots today. I feel sorry for my little man.

My daughter's boyfriend pressure washed the motor home for me today. We also worked on the front yard for a while. We pulled weeds and put in new pine straw in the flower beds, dang sure don't want it to get as bad as it was last summer. He probably saved me a weekend of work if I would have had to do it by myself.

I dunno, once that rings on things change. (I know now)Oh we are going out of town, or we are having a kid etc. To me help is always appreciated regardless of where it comes from.

Thanks for the wishes guys. Just got home. Drove out Saturday, stayed and hung out with some family I havent seen in a while, played mechanic with my dad, and came back today. My Aunt had a Vespa, Uncle got it for her when she got diagnosed, so Dad and I got it running so it could be on display at the funeral home. Very nice the way everything was handled. She does feel no pain now, and I have another guardian angel watching over me because Lord knows I need all the help I can get.

Could be but only time will tell. He is the most normal one she has brought around. He is joining the Army so he has at least one good thing going for him. He mowed grass and helped me pick up pine cones and twigs around the property today. With the wife taking care of little guy, I am not complaining about the help.

Drove the Jaguar to Ft Benning today. It drove like a dream and I did not have one issue so that is a relief.

First box on the porch for the hydroboost brake upgrade arrives tomorrow. Found the booster and master cylinder a yard in FL for 75 plus 30 shipping. The steering wheel has some play so a new gearbox is planned. Will order it a new pump, all lines, ps cooler and filter next time the Eagle flys over the house and leaves his little droppins (the 1st).

Going to get rid of the cheap Boss Audio radio I put in.

Worked on the spring clean up of the property some more today. A couple more things I want to knock out and I can go into the maintain mode. It's great to have another set of hands to help out.

I have to get in gear on the motor home pinion seal replacement, change the gear oil, get a front end alignment, new spare tire and then order a new awning replacement fabric. She will then be ready for the vacation to the beach next month!!! Not where I wanted to be on updating the interior but it will work for now.
