A saner head prevailed

Did my bank run, stop and got some stuff, including the LSA I didn’t get in my kit (coulda sworn it was on that list,,,) for obvious need I have not had before.

and thought about it.   Yeah, I could bust my hump and get that swap done by dark…

But what if I found I needed to make a run or things ‘didn’t go as planned’,,,,(things NEVER go as planned when you depend on something, like a car/truck and have no backup in place.)

I still have the J.O.B. I need to go to for one more day this week,

So my plan now is to wait until the morrow, and get started on it BUT TAKE MY TIME.  Clean up the gunk from all the little leaks the current psuedo-axle seals have dribbled out.   Clean the brakes up really good (oil soaked, stink to high heaven, need pads replaced)

basicly make things nice so the new Axle feels at home (and if things go wonky, I can see where, without trying to decipher ‘is that new or old?’) 

And if I boogered something in the new axle, I can do what needs done with it in the truck.  Don’t think I did, but wouldn’t be surprised at all; seeing how this one is the first top to bottom rebuild I have ever done.  No matter, fingers are crossed, busted knuckles have sent offerings to the small gods of greasy mechanical things, and prayers sent with the spilled blood. (and I know I will be adding to those when I go to move things around,,,)

So tonight is chill out, walk mutt, feed mama and zoomz, take care of Dio night,,,  tomorrow the carnage can begin and I have 2 1/2 days to ‘make it right’.   (and I WILL post update on the first outing in it.   Been dealing with a howler of a rear end for so long, IF this one is right, I will know in the first mile; even with my faulty ears.)

keep on livin’      It’s beer thirty,,,
