That does sound like a lot of work. That boom lift is huge! Glad it was you and not me!!
Have an MRI this morning. Buying my lottery tickets on the way to work this morning.
The wife texted me yesterday and said she was looking forward to the trip, she tries to act like she doesn't like Disney World. Loading the suburban tonight and then I have to work half a day tomorrow. Rushing home and then on the highway heading south no later than noon. I hate leaving so late but we decided to drive straight thru so I reserved a room at the Hilton overlooking Disney Springs.

Not quite the same on the screws everytime you put pressure on the speec handle to break the screw loose you push yourself back. It normal took two if us one to hold on to the tail thge other to take screws out. Foturnetly that light did not burn out very often

We all gphave been busy, not this is a big priority. Glad you are makeing progress on the truck. My Mazda is just about driveable needs a master cylinder. Once it driveable can start on the 250. Due to the cost of the E4OD and the ZF5 for a diesel 2 wd i am leaning toward a T 19. But then have to find a bellhousing for a diesel and decided either hyd or manual clutch. I think the19 had a mechanical

MRI is done, now just waiting to hear from the doctor on the results.
Just have to make it thru today, fill up the truck on the way home, load most of our stuff tonight and then wait till tomorrow. Daughter caught strep throat and a respiratory infection, I guess it is a good thing she was not going but she is now quarantined away from everyone else.

I haven't had to take any pills the last 2 days so maybe it's on the mend by itself. Not sweating it.
Boss is kidding me about going to Disney World, I threatened him that I would wear my Mickey Mouse t-shirt to work tomorrow.

I would think your Mickey ears with your name on them would be better that way you are not out uniform. The medical is a 2 way street if the MRI shows notning you are asking what causing the pain, if it shows something now it what do we do about it. Take your meds with you just in case you need it.

The meds are going with me you don't have to worry about that. I had the doctor refill them so I had enough to cover past our vacation time. I don't have Mickey ears but I might by the end of this trip !!!

I used the clock for a little while, kept forgetting to change it so I just gave up. I almost got some ears but decided to wait till little man got his so we could get them at the same time, the wife is even talking about getting some Minnie ears. The wife says she is only excited about going because of the food, we eat good on vacation but I think she is slowly becoming a fan. A little low key this time since it's only the 3 of us and it's only 2 park days. The cooling towels, ponchos and other park stuff we can reuse so it's not a huge buying spree this time. The only thing I splurged on for now is room overlooking Disney Springs tomorrow night. The room rate was reasonable but after taxes, resort fees and paying for parking it was close to 250 bucks, you only live once and can't take it with you.
I plan on winning the lottery tonight so money will be no object... or I'll be back at work on Tuesday.
