  • what did you do this weekend?

    Feel free to keep this thread alive ;D

    Saturday I - put the last shock on my dad's truck. If you've ever put shocks on a 2004 Dodge 3/4 ton Cummins, the driver's side front is fun.

    Took the trash to the dump. Yes, I live in the country were there is no trash pick-up, so I have to haul it myself.

    Went to a freinds's house and drank 5,000 beers and played poker.

    Sunday - Changed the oil and fuel filter in my dad's Cummins. Took the guns out and practiced for the pistol competion I have coming up. I'll try to be out at least once every weekend shooting. Ordered a new gun. Taurus Raging Bull in .454 Casull. Stainless, 8 3/8 inch barrel.

    And I have Monday off for MLK day. It's great having a government job. ;D

            Saturday: Installed a new speedo cable housing and cleaned out 12 years of hacked wiring under the dash of my Skylark since I had the cluster out. Went from looking like a rats nest to neat bundles wrapped in Electrical tape every three or four inches. Probably removed about 6' of wiring.

            Sunday: First day back to work for another ten, YAY! :-\ So I got next weekend covered by work too.
            Escaped on a technicality.

                      Friday after work drove 9 hours to Hartsville TN where my 47 Olds is right now. Saturday and Sunday were spent installing 2 inch drop spindles and sanded, primed, sanded, primed, sanded, painted, then cleared the underside of the hood. I will drive 9 hours back home tomorrow, Monday and visit with some car friends in L'ville and a stop in Dayton at a BBQ joint for dinner with some other car pals. I'll head back to work on Tuesday to get some rest. ;D

                            I began wiring the Camaro.


                            And made a mirror opposite of a clip and bracket ! (Because it's right hand drive for those of you thinking "WTF!".)


                            This weekend will be engine and trans install if the converter is ready! ;D

                              Saturday I went to the dump, stopped to get gas for my welder, stopped at my favorite parts store, back home again, did some more bodywork on the Fairlane.
                              Sunday I worked most of the day in the shop, took a break to watch the Patriots/Chargers game, back to doing bodywork. Finished up about 8pm.
