TANSTAAFL

And anyone one with a modicum of REAL world experience knows it.

Almost all of my parts are in place. Still waiting on a couple small peices, one which should be here tomorrow. Kinda critical to getting the brakes done: the P-brake cable for the passenger side. Gotta have it to finish that side up.

Lower hose is enroute, should be monday, but that won’t slow me down for the weekend plans.

BUT, back to that TANSTAAFL point. I was going over the next month or so, looking at how due dates fall, where the holidays fit in, and PRAYING that things pick up just a wee-bit. Those bills are gonna start coming in from all the expenditures I have done the last 2 weeks and There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. I’m gonna be scrapin’ bottom more than a couple of times if hours continue their current trend. I’ll make it, but there may be a ‘minimum payment’ in there somewhere, and I hatez making bare minimum payments: Its akin to not paying at all in my book: the only thing it does is keep the creditors off your ass for a time.

BUTZ,,, I have all four tires on the Gurl now, a 10′ stick of 3″ exhaust pipe to work with, fluids to do oil change and coolant flush, oil filter, air filter, brake fluid for the repairs and bleeding the system as planned for Satyrday,,,All the brake parts save one (on its way as mentioned), Seriously, she should be road ready by next week at the lastest. Not DONE, mind you, but road ready. There are things that I need to do that will take some time and more money, but they are not things that will keep her off the ABLE STATUS for the mission. Little things like weather stripping for the lock boxes, upgrades in lighting for better visibility, front and rear. I need to figure out where her back up light wire runs as she doesn’t have one currently (and I have a pair of cool ass yellow/white strobes for that. Salvage from a company truck: I liked them and kept them. get those things going while backing up and no one can say they didn’t see your backup lights,,,LOL)

And Buffalo so needs a rest,,, Love the poor little 333000+ mile truck, but she is showing signs that she needs some TLC too. Typical Chevy stuff too, like the front end being all loosey goosey, and those #$%^& *&!!!^&*&*&& **&^%@!$#@ #$%Rffffffrickin door hinges that wear out and tear the hell out of the truck. Always the drivers door too, (of course it is, thats the one that gets the most wear and tear.)

And I haven’t had a moments rest to look at the interwebz and check the worlds status,,, I’m probably not missing much though,,,
