Well I hit a milestone list night.

The truck is back onto 4 wheels and can be moved around the driveway.

Now for things like steering box and transfer case.

But at least now I am not so far out on the driveway
and I can set up the tarp to the roof and stay more or less dry.

Congrats!

I have a truck in my driveway with the front on jack stands and need to find the motivation to get it back on 4 wheels/tires!

Surgery in February sort of put me in the hot seat.
But I was ready to do what I just got finished before
they did the scheduling. So really the big thing I need
to get done is the transfer case install and the power
steering box install. that will cover all the really heavy stuff.

I was showing the wife a couple of pictures of a bronco project some one had and her response was no new projects till the Goose is on the road again.

I've got it all loaded for now for the schedule at least till the 4th of January;
12/6 to 12/23- Villa Maria Argentina, Installation and commissioning of 3 LM6000 generator sets
12/24- Leave Villa Maria, Drive to Cordoba Argentina (150 kilometers), fly to Iguazu Argentina
12/25 & 26- Play Tourist and visit Iguazu Falls in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil
12/27- Fly from Iguazu to Buenos Aires, then Atlanta
12/28- Fly from Atlanta to Dallas, drive from Dallas to Camden Arkansas
12/29 to 12/31- Visit middle step son, his wife, and grandchildren, baby blessing for newest granddaughter
1/1- Drive from Camden to Fort Smith Arkansas
1/2- Visit with my brother and sister
1/3- Drive back to Dallas
1/4- fly from Dallas to Portland, then drive to the house in Ocean Park
1/5- SLEEP

After this gotta figure out what's wrong with the Bronco's back glass not going up and gotta replace the water pump and thermostat in it, plus still need to do the coolant in the 250.

I can add one more for you.
Stop at my house and install a nice 15Kw 3Ph.
That way I can get a mill, lathe and compressor
and not have to run new underground cable. Mind you
all this for free and I'll fix you dinner for the few days
the job will take.

Hold your breath, WHEN I FINALLY WAKE UP, I gotta finish putting the new flooring downstairs at the house and on the upstairs landing and stairs, then pull the fiberglass bathtub and shower out of the upstairs bath, and rebuild with a new full size shower and install radiant floor heat. OHH and did I mention repair the ceiling from the fire damage in that bath, old combination exhaust fan, ceiling light and heater caught fire???

Downstairs gonna replace the vanity along with the floor and add radiant heat there also.

After these the wife wants to redo the kitchen, the only thing she likes is the refrigerator, wants gas stove and I got electric right now, dishwasher is a dinosaur from the 70s .

Take the fridge out to the yard and then just rent a large track-hoe.

When I get home I have a brake job and a tie rod job waiting. Then I need to finish three oil changes, oil pan gasket and a header install. Never ending.

Right after we gat married 7-11-2015 we bought the new flooring (vinyl plank) and then pulled the carpet out of the living and dining room and started. Gotta install trim in the living room still and finish the downstairs hall and do the stairs and landing.

Found the bathtub upstairs was cracking every time you stepped into it so that's no good. The shower downstairs is good so we're using that for now.

Just really haven't had time to go and do anything so gonna hopefully get some time after I leave here but we'll see.
