Crap Update

(With apologies to Dennis Miller!)

I don't want to get off on a rant but.....that's always been one of my favorite intros, and I just wanted to use it. Actually, today, I'm not all that pissed off and I feel good about it. I'll try to keep it short, mostly because there's a lot going on, most of which isn't all that interesting and I need to distill it down.

Finally have gotten a fair amount of work done on the Jeep. Pumped back in all the fluids that I drained out. Of course, the front axle promptly began leaking, so I drained it and applied some more gasket maker to the cover to seal it hopefully. I'm giving it a coupld of days for the silicone to set up, then I'll refill with gear oil and we'll see what happens. The taillights are all hooked up, although the running of the wiring may leave something to be desired. We'll see about that, but for now it's done. Got quite a bit of work done on the dashboard. I can't decide whether to leave the rust spots and just install the dumb thing, or to take it out, really put some effort into cleaning it up and then reinstall. Since my new plan for this jeep is to get it running and then sell it, I think I'll lean towards the faster of the 2 which is to install!

At work it's bonus time and I'm in for one. It's an increase over previous years, which is nice. It's what I thought I would get and not what I wanted. That's the way it goes some days though. At least I'm getting one, so I can't whine too much.

Not sure how many of you out there are done with their Christmas shopping, but I'm not. Hopefully tonight.

Got to run, maybe more fun stuff later.
