I was just outside getting the mail/putting the tarp back over the wood splitter (it blew off I put bricks on the edges now) and prepping pinkie for his polishing.
That entailed pulling the spare off and pulling off a little bracket that was on it. Maybe 5 minutes of work.
I'm glad I pulled the spare off now though because if I was ever stuck somewhere with a flat I would've been in deep s**t. I put the ratchet on the nuts holding it and I was just compressing the drivers side suspension. I ended up taking a big ol lead bar that was randomly in our home toolbox
and hitting the end of the ratchet with it and that freed it up. I called dad and asked him to make sure he brings the polishing stuff home for me (it's in his SuperDuty) but I had to leave him a message so I don't know if he'll have it or not.
Hopefully he's driving the SD and not the beater because then he can't forget it.
Edit: Just saw your post, Mark. Awesome to hear that you're out of the hospital!

Hey All!
I just got home from the hospital...I think they wrote me 8 new prescriptions, and want me to stop all my old stuff...
still pretty tired...pain from the slipped lap band, surgery, dehydration cause I couldnt keep anything down and 102.7 fever really has taken its toll.
Plus every time you get to sleep someone comes in to take your vitals, or draw blood, or generally keep you from getting a good nights rest!
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
Gonna have to catch up on the other 24 pages I missed later!

Naw, never did the baby powder trick. I showed her the video and told her how she was almost a victim. I was told that this is what would happen.

One of the songs the band played at our party this past weekend.
We were all singing along and throwing beer and then the cops showed up.
Perfect song....

I had to replace the locks on my tool box Lisa. It was pretty easy to do. I bought a set of weather rated cabinet locks from Lowes. I had to do a little grinding on the latch on the new locks to duplicate what was on the old ones but it worked out great. Very easy to do and low $$.
I hope that you and Mike have an enjoyable first day back to work!

Good morning all! I'm back at work for my last 9 days of employment.. woohoo!! or something like that... anyway, my current big job is to find an enclosed trailer for my move. I've passed on a couple deals locally in the recent past, and now I'm kinda kicking myself for it. Oh well, done is done. I want to get something ideally this week so that I can start packing the big furniture, etc. and make sure I can get everything in that I want. Fun fun.
They have not been coast-to-coast trips, but from Baltimore to Phoenix once (and back) and now when I go back to Maryland, this will make 5 roundtrips from Baltimore to Denver.... rough numbers... 21,000 miles just on those trips...

Everyone is super nice, I am looking forward to a few weeks from now after I get the hang of things.
I wonder how Mike is doing. What about you Tristan, when does your new job start?

Well pinkie got her first treatment with a polishing compound. I washed my buffing cloth and it's drying right now and then I washed her. That was interesting since it's approximately 30 degrees outside right now. I got warm water from the kitchen for my soapy water and used the hose (very cold) for rinsing it off.
It's drying now and then I'll take another crack at it with the polishing compound.
Then if it doesn't improve at all from that I'll wash it again tomorrow afternoon and put a coat of wax on.
Edit:
Good to hear that you like your new job, Lisa! Do you mean a CPU or a whole new computer? A CPU is just the Central Processing Unit which is a little chip that sits on the motherboard.
