Life interrupted

Working on that post, I is,,,

and distractions afoot (four of them, all with four feet,,, because ‘rain’,,,)

Stopped at Da’s on way home,,, the news,,,

Jeez,,,

I swear there are days where all I wanna do is load up the best boat I have, all my gear it will carry, and find the nearest river with the least amount of Locks and Dams between here and the Gulf and just

GO

Saner head prevails though: so here I am still at home, boats are still in the same locations they have been in, and camp gear still resides in its storage place.

It might have something to do with a leak I spotted while at work. Saw some dark colored fluid floating in the melt off near my rear DS tire,,,, Gear oil. Look up under Buff and sure’nuff,,, that damned axle seal is leaking. Brand new, only 2 weeks and now, leaking. Dunno why, and haven’t dug into it yet, but thats coming fast. Not leaking so much that I am concerned about failure, but those can come on fast too. I am watching it like a hawk right now. Diff level was down, but not as much as I expected,,, AND it may have been amplified by the fact that the diff was ‘leaning’ to that side by where and what I was parked on (pile of snow under the passenger wheel )

Never get a break though,,,, I know I lubed the axle before I slid it home through that seal, but there may have been a burr somewhere I didn’t catch that could have ripped it. Dunno,,, not looking forward to tear down to find out, and the only consolation I get, is that I can see that particular seal without having to pull everything apart (just the wheel and brake parts)

and that has thrown me off for the evening,,,,

So apologies for not coming forth with a krazee article as I teased this morning. It does exist, is not finished, and I am working on it, but my heart just isn’t into it right now and I don’t wanna get jaded with it.

More tomorrow, maybe even my getting up in the wee hours and finishing what I started and posting it.

keep on livin’
