Balance and rotate, washed, and picked up a fuse block and wiring for a dome light and some other accesories in the bed.

Did the full winter lube and inspection, rotated tires. And I finally cleaned the frame real nice rocker guarded it and did a full undercoat and then also did my rockers and insides of my doors with rust protector so hopefully she'll make it through another winter looking as good as she did before it

Bad news: Paid a 15% restocking fee on the KM2's when I told Sears to keep them.

Good news: Paid off Ranger in full yesterday.

That is a great feeling BUT as soon as you have the title in hand things start to go wrong.
And it is hard to drive by any car dealer that has something you like.

I straightened my frame out the best I could with my Case IH. Now she's ready for a new torsion bar and a front end alignment.

I'm thinking about buying the whole front end minus the drivers side fender. I don't think there's much of a chance of me finding red parts within a 200 mile radius.

Flying to Papau New Guinea for a job. Should take about 40 days, but it has the potential to screw me over for the next 50 or so. I left FL at 6 am this morning and after layover number 2 I'm in L.A. For the next 9 hours with nothing to do. Found a bar so I'm good to go at this point. Not getting to my final destination until Wed. I hate airports. Manila for 15 hours tomorrow. Joy joy.
