Same old. Twenty seven days left of school til summer. 38 total I believe.
Been working like mad since things started to get busy. Just not enough hours in the day.
Last night I didn't fall asleep til 1:00 or so, got woken up by thunder at 4:00 went around and shut all the windows in the house cause they were all open and it was raining like hell, went back to bed, woke up at 7 or so.
Physics class is a great place for a nap. Especially when you sit front and center. This teacher never looks front and center cause they assume if they put you there you're gonna be good. I guess sleeping isn't talking though... Unless I sleep talk.
Grandparents got back from Florida for the winter on Saturday. Their car needed a battery charger so I brought that over, mowed their lawn, edged around all the stones in their front walk, spread some pre-emergent, and took out all the storm windows and put in screens. They've got the real old style ones where it doesn't just slide up and down it's actually wooden frames one has glass the other has screen.
Today was a day of moving trailers, lifting one that had its landing gear sink into the mud with a load on the trailer, loading a trommel drum behind the 6.0 so it can go help in the mulch making process. Busy busy busy busy when it's light out then bored outta my skull once it gets dark.

like Tom said everything with the wiring, she ate starters and silniods like crazy
exactly the PO used this truck as a plow truck and looks like he did alot of the wiring himself so there were wires everywhere and i had no idea where they went or started.
yup and i have a few good parts saved for my self like a bumper with a hithc with springs in it to absorb jars(DMI quickcushion hitch is the brand) the front and rear axles so if i decide to play with the truck in truck pulls and break an axle shaft or drive shaft i have replacements. which is always good to have. some days i wish we could have gotten here in relaible driving condition, but she would have needed lots of patching on the metal ion the cab floor, rewiring, and would have needed a new engine in about 15000 miles. so im also glad we got rid of her.
i think the proper question should be what did not go wrong with the 89, Dan.
i know Jacob spent quite a while trying to sort out the rats nest of wires and electrical gremlins, but could not get the truck to work properly so they parted it out for more than he paid for It.

The pup is now sleeping MOST of the night. And he has a FULL personality now, he has accepted his home and us, and I have the holes in the socks and pant legs to prove it..

Just thought I'd share this little tidbit of info from one of our members....
morning..
Sinko de Mayo.
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to NewYork. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
