Last night, put the new tie rod ends on (because I got a case of the "might as well's) put the new front brakes and rotors on,
today I took Dakota for alignment, I miss the days of being the alignment guy.... never thought Id see the day where a front end alignment (with NO provision for rear adjustment) and no calls saying that parts need replaced before it could even BE aligned, (I remember having to make a few of those calls myself, along with lots of show and tell from beneath the rack) would cost $85.00. YIKES!
still gotta replace the pass side headlight with the new (not cloudy) one that I have, put the bezel back on over it, cut a new plastic vapor barrier to go onto that passenger door, screw the speaker back in, hook up the wiring to the power windows, mirror and lock plunger, put the inner door panel back on and the kick panel trim and threshold back on.... and that job's done.
also went with wife to knee Dr appointment (good thing I did/ they drained a bunch of fluid while I watched--- I didn't feel a thing) we thought this would be the last Dr followup since her knee surgery back in May but now he wants to see her "1 more time" ( this visit was supposed to be that "1 last time") and picked up my new fridge from Lowe's, had the kid come over and help me get it off of my truck and into place, cleaned up the spot the old one sat for the past 20 years, took down a cabinet (new one is taller-- didn't look taller, when we picked out the one my wife wanted) then took the old one outside, made a dust storm when I blew out the cooling fins beneath it with the air hose, (didn't think it would be nearly that bad, I vacuum it out with the shop vac 4-6 times a year) then pulled all the shelves and drawers, fired up the power washer and blasted it inside and out, and took it over to my kid's house, he has been wanting an "extra" fridge since he bought his house.
This fridge is only 0.7 cu ft bigger than the old one it replaced (negligible going from 22 cu ft to 22.7 cu ft) but the standup freezer I got last Sunday is MUCH bigger than the old one it replaced.... this one is 17.some cu ft, I'm guessing the old one is around 13 cu ft, it isn't listed on there anywhere.
They had a 13.some and a 14.some cu foot model next to this one but in the store this one "looked" to be about the same as the old one...
but oddly enough, the 2 smaller ones were the same money as the one I wound up getting.... (the 2 they had in this size range, was on a lot more of a sale than the smaller ones) I got the "mid size" ones, the 2 bigger were definitely too big for the spot I have available to put this freezer.
Being as how my (only) kid has left the nest this new freezer is definitely overkill for lust the wife and me.
and THEN got stuck sitting thru a movie at the movie house, my wife has had this bug lately, has a craving for going to the movies/ with me or without me..... couldn't get anything done sitting there/ I have never been a big "movie guy"
right behind the adjuster nut, which is behind the plate just under the steering wheel, there is to be a washer and a snap ring. The snap ring is gone 
, to replace it the adjuster nut has to come off all the way and then I should be able to put a new snap ring on. I was trying to copy and past a picture from the parts book but no luck and it is bed time.
