Western facing.

Runny Babbits playing out there near the brush, but ya might be hard pressed to see them in that pic. The blend quite well.
ElBee is out there too. Look near the drive. Between the elephant grass and the juice pole. He’s been a-tryin’ for a wabbit dinner,,, good luck with that’un lil-buddy.
Went’n’picked up the engine hoist tonight. Right where I left it, untouched. Shoulda told ’em to come get it themselves when they were ready, instead of me wasting fuel and time like that. Is whut it is: sort of expected here-bouts as well.
Been a damned good day. Pay in bank, a couple bills paid and didn’t hurt (much). Room to pay more ahead of time and not dent my livelihood ‘tween paydays. Work done on Buffalo and a list of parts that need ordered. (like a new Dizzy, not reman, NEW) Created one that needs ordered: oil pressure unit. Danged things are blinkin’ fragile and in that wyrd-ass spot just waiting for a fumble-fisted tech to come along.
Dunno that I will drop the swap in this weekend or not. I still desire to do the front end thing, replacing the pitman arm and such, and much eaiser to do with all the whirly bits out of the way. But I can have the old block out of there by Sunday, no doubt. Doing such keeps me at home and keeping at home means I don’t go spending money on frivolity.
Besides, I still need to get the upper gasket kit and replace the rear main seal ( don’t know if it needs it, but I’m there: easier to do it now instead of dropping a transmission later.) Just little things really, but they do cost, and I would rather order online for a third the cost of local. And I don’t want to half ass this. I want things right, not leaky seepy messes. (like the oil cooler lines in there currently Yuck!!!)
Buffalo is a good truck: she’s worth the extra effort.
Some good news dropped my way tonight, but I don’t want to go jinxing things, so I’ll keep mum for now. But what I heard gave me a fuzzy outlook on things, in addition to the productive day I had already. My fingers are crossed and my thoughts are oriented to positivity.
More at ya tomorrow when I catch a break point.
Love y’all
