    Finished the side job. Took about 4 hours. The alternator was kicking my butt.
    I did an oil change, spark plugs, water pump, alternator, drive belt and adjusted the headlights.

    I ran some errands after doing the side job.
    Drove past this parking lot and :eek: a white 1983'ish Toyota pickup, 2WD, longbed. I saw this in Guilford, CT. I felt like turning around and taking pictures.

    Time becomes a very limited resource when kids come along. Things get pushed aside and then forgotten about. Don't judge too harshly.

    Good morning CT. Back to work Monday. Let's see which parts came in and which ones didn't.
    Thinking about putting in my WeatherTech mats today.

    Morning Bill.
    Spent a couple hours in the tree this morning and it felt like I was in the spin cycle with the wind cranking at first light.
    Nothing seen 'cept a Redtail devouring a Gray Squirrel. :blahblah:
    Seen a handful of new scrapes.
