Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Muhndaze and the Grind

Full day, good thing too. No time to work on Bloo, but thats alright, I want to dedicate time to her and her only when I get going on this lower end Refresh/Clutch job. Most all of the orders I put in shipped today, but they are scattered like sparks in the wind around the lower 48. Will be arriving starting this Wednesday through to next. I even considered taking a week off to dedicate to getting her done and back on the road, but I can’t afford the time off to do so, (UNLESS, I do have that PTO Son of Bossman and I talked about, but have never heard back on,,, Maybe I should ask,,,)

And I have a scheduled camping trip upcoming, and don’t want all of this to fuck that up. I need the time away, but I need this truck running just as much. And there is a ton of stuff that needs done,,, Little stuff and big stuff, all around the truck, not just the bearings and clutch. Brake cable that didn’t show up on time needs installed (because I hate leaving things half done) New Exhaust manifold to replace that cracked one, Stuff that ‘by itself’ doesn’t really take long, but piled up,,, Yah,,,

I’m whooped. It’s already dark out there and I am not going to try wrenching anything in the dark under headlamps. Makes me wish for a shop, it do. if wishes were fishes,,,,,

and its Cold and getting colder. Rain is supposed to start here in the next couple of hours and then turn to snow/sleet overnight. I may have some time to do things tomorrow if Son of calls it for the day (downside there, $$$ or lack of. Can’t win for losing,,,)

    It always seems to me that, in similar situations, there’s always 1 more thing I have to do to finish. Bunches of small (and not so dam small) stuff, sumthin totally unrelated (like yer camping trip – yeah, I’m a bit envious, I am) – but just as important on the side. It’s a dam juggling act!

    Then again, when yer wrenching on that bottom end ya wanna be focused on that and nothing else. Yeah, I know – preaching to the choir, ain’t I.

    Anyway, glad yer stuff is coming together, even if not fast enuff. Seems like we’re always waiting on sumthin, don’t it? Nuff said fer now – time fer a 2nd cuppa.

    Y’all take care,
    Mike in FLA.

    • Marine Axiom (every military service actually) Hurry up and Wait. I think they teach you that because the reality is always a waiting game.
