Back to work tomorrow...

Well, my vacation is over. I only took two days, but I needed it. I got a ton of stuff ton.

I did finish up the mower repair. Holy crap, if I had known I was going to have to take half the damn thing apart I would have just bought a new one. Not really, but it sounded good though, didn't it?

I got the new K&N air filter kit put on My Bride's ride. I'm hoping it will improve her mileage a little bit. I think if she kept her foot out of it that would help too.

I also half ass fixed a dent in her drivers rear quarter. She got hit several months ago and I haven't had enough interest in fixing it to do it. Since I had it in the shop already anyway, I went ahead and did what I could. The plastic has been bent out of shape for so long it that it will take some time for it to conform to the old shape again.

I tried to get her washer fluid flowing again. I was able to get the passenger side going. This has been a pain in my ass since we bought this car. I tried fixing it twice, the dealership has tried twice. no luck. So while I was installing the K&N filter, I was removing everything on top of the washer bottle so I yanked it out as well and hosed it out. It seems to have done half the trick.

I got all but two of the new lights up and wired in my shed. The other two will have to wait until I move the '68 Chevy out of the way. Probably this coming weekend.

I'm looking forward to getting back to work. We do work hard with what we do, but the stuff I have been doing at home is some serious manual labor. I'm stiff and sore and about to go take some naproxen...
