    My ATC tool roll got delivered. https://adventuretoolcompany.com/product/shoproll-tool-roll
    I'll start filling that up with the tools I have now. Still need to pick up some stuff.
    The connector from Toyota came in so I think I can finish my rear view mirror install.

    I keep jumping around from project to project, not getting any one fully done.
    Now that I have a printer that works, I printed out a "To Do List" and made multiple copies so I can keep track of what needs to be done and actually finish one before starting on the next one.

    I'm known for "three-quartering" things on the house, the mechanic stuff I do all the way. Gotta have priorities. LOL!

    Back in my poor days, I would take the train into NYC and do air train to JFK for flying to see family in WA, plus get the direct flight. Now I am more than happy to spend a little extra and enjoy flying from my favorite airport, Bradley.

    @Breakfast Taco I considered taking my truck but just finished up some work on the commuter and needed get it to run the emissions tests so I can get it inspected and renew the registration. Stupid NY won't let you renew with an expired inspection.

    You should see the other guy!!!!! :argue: :duel::muscleflexing: Unfortunately got into an accident because of a dumbass trying to cheat a left turning lane red light. Both drivers are fine though. My truck going through the intersection, him trying to turn left on a red. He was going to be hitting me at 45° right to the driver's door which would have been real bad. I was able to use the brakes and slide the back side around enough so that he hit the side of the Floor pan/ back door area instead of my door direct. (Thanks S drivers classes with my truck @ Lime Rock!!) Hit it pretty good but not higher than the small curve of the normal door shape I was fine and the truck was fine for the most part. Drivable to get the short distance home.

    Some metal work damage to the bottom of the both drivers side doors, small denting on the b-pillar, and some metal roll on the bottom of the cab. It broke the driver's side step rail off the truck and sent my tonneau cover flying through the air. Waiting on the body shop report. As I said... you should see the other guy though!! Completely destroyed his front end Metal Vs plastic...??but that

    One amusing thing about the accident is at the Deputy fire chief for the town was sitting at the light to the opposite direction. The whole thing happened right in front of him and he was the one that put the call in lol. I didn't have to say anything lol.
    Hopefully :itllbuffout: !!

    It was fully open but the trunk wouldn’t latch. I had to manually move the roof like that to get to a connector. More diag tomorrow.
