Still Grinding..

Well, not much is going on at the moment. In the real world, got a b-day party to plan for (for a soon to be 5 year old) and a 2.5 year old that at times seems more like a grizzly bear with a sore tooth. My honey is now re-nesting in our house and is (to be overly honest) making me a little crazy. I'm not sure why we need new light fixtures, since the old ones work perfectly well, but apparently we do.

Not much happening on the Jeep. I was a little sick this weekend, some kind of 24/48 hour virus I think and it kept me from getting any work done. I did manage to get up to Pep Boys to get the rest of the necessary gear oil, and try to use up some of my gift card. In fact I was a little annoyed that I somehow missed the fact there was a Pep Boys nearby. I've spent a bunch of money on oil and other consumables that I could have used my gift card on. I think for this week, the goals are (#1) to get new oil into the front axle, tranny and transfer case and change the oil in the rear diff. (#2) will then be to get the redneck body lift out and install the new one. This of course, is more involved than it sounds, although all the bolts on the POS lift currently on it are loose. I mostly have to get the remaining connections loose. The biggest one of these is the steering shaft. Next biggest problem is "how the f$@* do you lift the body off the frame enough to get the old lift out? I'm going to have to rig something up on one of the jacks to get the body up.

Work is the same, still proceeding with the normal month end and other processes, plus finishing up the due diligence for our potential deal. Pretty much everything is hinging on that, so we are really in a holding pattern until this is resolved.
