    That kind of comradery doesn't seem to occur this far north... But I also cannot imagine living in such close proximity to so many other humans now...

    Shaft boots are done and test driven. Now I need to get some uniballs...

    No bumper updates since lunch?
    I think that waiting 30 min is only for swimming and it's been a couple hours.
    I've seen new employees leave for lunch to never return.

    Glad to see all the hard work being done.
    I got the oil changed and tires rotated.
    My jack is puking out on me.
    Solved that problem.

    Need to make some minor adjustments but the bumper looks so good along with the sliders.

    That looks good, Dean. I like the tubular design and how it sticks out from the box. Something to consider, how much slush will accumulate behind the tires? I had a gaping hole when my bumper was installed. I used a piece of conveyor belt to cover that gap.
