Afternoon Greg, Pat & Gang.
Greg hope your day at work is a great one. I also hopes that fixes the issues.
Resting today. I put in a hard day yesterday. I will be going back next Wed-Thur with Gods will. I'm excited with how things are coming together. I'm hoping to be moving there maybe this year. My wife will stay in Hawthorne for her job then come home on days off. She only works 4 days a week.
I need to be doing things. I had an awful depressing year last year being here in Haw with 2 bad knees & not being able to do much of anything. I notice being home in Goldfield I feel much better mentally.
I hope to get my other knee done this winter. That will mean I will have to stay Haw for a few months to recover & heal.

Update on the Cherokee: put the new ECU in after work. It fired right up and idles like glass. I never even had to put it in learn mode. I will reserve judgement until I see how it does over the next few days, but I am hopeful this was the last hurdle.

Craig, that is good that you feel better in Goldfield. Hope you can recover quickly when you have the other knee done, so you can get back there.
Greg. Awesome that the ECU seems to have fixed the issue. I hope it lasts too. Nothing worse then a foul running vehicle.

Hi Jim.
Hot & T-storms seem to be the weather pattern here. Been that for several days now & the weather lairs are predicting it forever it seems.
What a job. If a baseball player hits 1 out of 3 times he's good. A weather liar can get it right 1 out of 10 & still has a job. Can you imagine being wrong most of the time & keeping a high paying job?

Morning everyone.
Well I survived the unsupervised period without making too many stupid decisions. I pick the family up this afternoon.
The Cherokee seems to be doing well. I was able to do more of what I wanted instead of diagnosing this weekend. Yesterday I got the new to me seats installed, rock lights on, and the LEDs in the cluster. It took most of the day, but I like the outcome.
I am still waiting on parts for the steering and suspension. Once they get here and installed I think I will be mostly finished with the Cherokee for a while. Then I can get the truck in the garage and start stripping off the bed.
On a side note, my Shepard mix was out in the garage with me all day while working on the jeep. He refused to get out until I took him for a ride! I guess it's a good thing I finished putting it back together. silly dog.

Happy Monday Nevada and friends.
I miss having a project vehicle. Of course, in order to have a project vehicle, it helps to have the $$$ to buy the parts the project vehicle needs.
Still, it would give me something to do. I sort of have a project vehicle in that my friend's 94 Thunderbird is here. But it is just waiting for her to come up with the money to pay the registration, and insurance. Got it smogged last month, and I have been slowly cleaning it up some as it sat for over a year at her aunt's place. Now that the aunt has passed away, it has become hers. She can't keep it at her apartment because it is not registered, so i asked my manager if I can keep it here for awhile while she gets the paperwork squared away and she said yes.
