Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Dad voice- air conditioning? Turn on the damn fan!

 

Drivers side control arm swapped. That was the one that had the play/clunk. And that play/clunk is gonzo. Swapping passenger side for good measure since they sent me both sides, just in case there was a flaw with the prior run of bushings..

 

was that up by Lime Rock?

 

My office today

 

Yeah I hear Highland is a real bummer this time of year!

 

Did a lil exploring yesterday on the bike, sadly my ass is so sore I had to drive the taco this morning!

 

Me too man, had something fall through with the entire day ahead of me so rode out from Norwalk to Misquamicut beach for a few hours. Flew down i95..about 90 miles each way.

 

Good to hear!

I'm finally on the tail end of my non-Covid , hack and yack, kennel cough, phlegm boy adventure.
5 fuggin weeks of it. WTF!

 

The doc at the urgent care, when I went to get the PCR test to see if I had the Rona, said that even a regular cold nowadays hits harder and takes longer to fight off because our systems are "weaker" from wearing the masks for so long/so much.

Not surprised that it took you that long to get better based on that.

 

Looking at my truck yesterday and noticed a ding in the bed behind the rear wheel. It's low where the crease is (of course)
Some wanker got me somewhere.
I don't go to too many places.
Pisses me off as it's the first ding in my 10 yo truck.

When I run into a acquaintance of mine that owns a body shop, I'll see if it can be popped out.
Indeed, people do suck.

 

People are bellends, I hate that shit. Some punk put a nice crease in the wife's Rav4 a couple of years ago not long after we got it and lied right to my face, too bad for him I saw him do it.

That should PDR pretty quick though

 

Cars and coffee at Birdhouse Coffee in South Windsor yesterday a.m.
They get some interesting stuff there. Wayne Carini of Chasing Classic Cars tv fame showed up last week in an Allard

 

Learned to water ski there...grew up in Torrington

 

Both upper control arms swapped out. Put the 33s back on. Lubed the driveshafts, and upper ball joint.

Pulled my skids and man are they beat. Definitely need some real skids before any more wheeling. Really wanting to pull the trigger on new lcas too.

Alignment tomorrow. And maybe some other stuff.

 

i thought it takes us longer because - you know, we're old(er) now than 3 years ago.

 

LOL

Yeah, that too.

 

Aren't we supposed to mention these car events before they happen?

 

But the dealer doesn't set the delivery date - that is the shipper leaving it in the depot because they have more stuff to deliver than drivers/trucks to carry all the stuff. If there was movement of your stuff from there to here & final delivery is what keeps getting pushed off 1 day, 1 day, 1 day - your issue is the delivery service. Sounds like FedEx to me, they specialize in that.

 

It was FedEx and I finally got it today. I opted for them to leave it at a FedEx office and I picked it up on lunch. If I didn't, who knows when I would've got it.
