Winter Projects?

mwalls54 · 10-29-09, 06:51 AM

Well its about winter time whats every one got going on?

I have started to tear down the 40 for a complete drivetrain swap and axle rebuild.
On the 60 I have to pull out those dents the stump made on pizza rock at rausch creek. But thats about it.

Well I'm getting a house ready to sell. If I'm lucky I'll get to put a new clutch in the 40, but other than that all projects get put on hold until NM.

I still have to install the marlin box.
I thought about six shooters and a paint job

they are getting better back to their fighting. now as in my pm i have gotten it, not bad so far but really feel like C R A P and a lot of head congestion, and i can not take my own temp with that ear thing, so can not tell you what it is. and i have no appetite.

Get better Mike - I got a little sick a few days ago, but no fever, so maybe just regular seasonal crap (I better not get sick before the weekend)

My list includes swapping my front LSD into the new housing with 4.88 gears, install 4.88 in the elocker 3rd I have and either modify the housing that's on the truck now or figure out some way to use the Taco housing I have sitting in the garage (F&R 4.56s for sale when all that's done) - I'm hoping I'll have enough left over for this budget long travel

no one was home. neighbor said the door was open most of the week and did't think much of it.

cruiser88 · 11-02-09, 12:55 PM

Times are hard and people on drugs are at a high this year. I would make sure everything is locked up. i know you have some good pills from time to time and if some idiot got ahold of them.

cruiser88 · 11-02-09, 06:24 PM

I carry them on me.......i hate having them but because of my legs its a must

WTF!!!!! Who doesn't think much of a door being open most of the week?!?!?!?!!!!! Sound like a neighborhood thief...they must have known you were home off and on. What a bunch of aholes.

Sorry about your luck.

toy4xfun · 11-03-09, 05:09 AM

yea i know i have went after people at my neighbors when they are in main, ended up being their relatives,but no one was mad because they know their house is being watched. we are lucky here most of my neighbors are retired and home all the time, and the one girl across the street is mentally disabled and watches every thing, kinda creepy but if some one tried to break in she would know.

mwalls54 · 11-03-09, 08:52 AM

Yeah, we talked to one of them thats a bus driver and she goes by every day multiple times. She said she just thought we were home and she didn't want to intrude but also thought it was kinda odd that it was open. we also talked to the other neighbor and he was just sickened by it. he has lived there his whole life and none of the houses have ever had a problem like this. he said he had talked to the bus driver neighbor and they were going to actually go over every so often and look around.
