Dead at work. Replacing all the burnt out bulbs in the dash but the instrument ones are the hardest to find. No parts store has them or you have to buy a pack of 10 at 50 bucks, I need 3. Ordered some LED's off of Amazon so we will see how they work.

Your going to give me the polaris and tractor and then you want to live off grid never to be heard from again?
How close am I?
I am waiting on the instrument LED's to arrive tomorrow for the dodge. It will be nice to have all the lights behind the gauges working again. Yesterday I replaced the burnt out bulbs in the glove box, the cup holder and the ashtray. I also used some plastic repair putty and I fixed a broken tab behind the headlight switch. I ordered a new cup holder this morning. For some reason I was not thinking and last summer I ordered a dash rug in light grey, I ordered some black dye and I then will re dye it black. That should finish me up for the winter on it. The mother in-law came over for Christmas and said how nice the truck is looking. Glad that I am finally doing something with it.

Not even close. Donna is not the one for me. Someone else I never suspected is. The vision was we are going to travel and share our stories and testimonials plus I going to write a book.

I don't want your stuff, you have to admit it was funny!
I had one more day of vacation left for the year so i took it yesterday. I went with the wife and we took her dog to the vet. Came home and fixed a slow leak in the daughters tire. Then worked on the yard and cleaned out the suburban. My lower back is killing me right now. Coming back from the vet there was a conversion van for sale on the side of the road, my wife said I don't like vans. I said the conversion ones are great for road trips, they have a TV and dvd player and the rear seat folds down into a bed. She said the back folds out to a bed? She said we might have to look into one when we get ready to trade in the Suburban. She said she would not drive it but she sure would go to the back and take a nap!
I was lucky and found the love of my life not long after divorcing Satan's daughter. We have a great marriage. She does her thing, I do my thing and we do our thing. We don't fight, fuss or argue. Tomorrow is our 15 year anniversary and little man turns 4.

Little man finally got the nerve to drive the Grave Digger around the yard, it lasted all of 5 minutes because the battery was almost dead.
The LED's came in and the black dye but I'll mess with them tomorrow. We have to go to the mom in-laws and set up her new TV and she is feeding us dinner.

Changed all the regular dash bulbs in the dodge to LED, glad they all light up now with no dead spots. The black dye came in for the dash rug but not sure when I am going to try and do that.

Hey Jason!! It has been a while. Probably not going to make it, that's the weekend I'm scheduled to work at my job.
The last day of 2019!
It's been a good year for us and plan on carrying that over to next year. I hope the same for everyone else.
Started getting a dead mouse smell in the truck yesterday. Smell was coming from the passenger side so I dropped the blower motor, not there. I then I took of the passenger door panel off and found him. It was getting rough.
