3 hrs from start to finish, no lift, no help.....not bad I think?

Hauled in 2 loads of topsoil, spread it and rolled it. Setup lawn watering system. Dug trench for wire of dog's shock collar thing, but ran out of wire (only had 500ft in the kit) Lowe's run for parts, test drove a car, called my Mom, cut some firewood, did some laundry and swept/vac the floors in the house.
Probably going to finish my garage floor epoxy tonight and then put the stainless doors on my fridge.
Was hoping to get more stuff done but I only got up around 7:30.

I tried to trade my '90 Chevy truck for a '77 Ford F-150 Supercab with a 460, and the guy tried to change the deal, so I left. Came home (2 hour drive) and put the truck on Craigslist for $1800 or trades, and in ten minutes I got a call from someone who offered a Honda 185 ATC 3-wheeler and a Arctic Cat 4x4 ATV for trade. Both are now sitting in my driveway, and I am rid of that GM garbage forever.

Well I cobbled my junk back together. Now my ranger has a square tube front driveshaft and the transfer case side is tack welded in so it lets the tube slip and doesnt leave me hung up and stuck in 2wd again. BTW I did say "cobbled" lol itll work it aint perty though.
Also welded my broken hock mount back on ready to go wheelin and break something else now.

Worked all day finding errors in the next software release for my companies medical diagnostic devices.

I am glad I don't write the code :shaking: I just find the bugs:evil:

I can not wait for this validation and verification to be done it sucks brain cells and I will need to replace with high octane spirits to fix again tonight!!

Much rather would be doing my real work as an electronics engineer
Or better yet out wheeling without work on the brain!!!!!

After I got home and relaxed I felt better so I went to work on my explorer. I removed the last of my ttb brackets and just about finished trimming the k member. Just about ready for it to roll out of the garage under it's own power. :smokin:
