    I would get my tent during the month that I'm going to be super busy... Haha

    My only free weekend is the one that I have to transition over to mid-shift. So it won't even be a full weekend.

    The rest of the month I'm taking CLEP tests or volunteering on my weekends... Maybe in July I'll actually get to use it...

    Haha yup!

    Everything is great except for my self-improvement since one of the people I'm going up for BTZ with already has her CCAF. She took all the classes she needed for it before she even came in so that she could have it :rolleyes:

    So they're trying to send up a quarterly award package for me as well to try and help.

    I know she'll be the first selected, but if there are two slots open I'm confident that I'll get that second slot.

    Huh? If you already have the credits from that class for a general CCAF they're not going to make you re-take all of them...

    Thanks for the link to your write up on the blinker relocation mod. Halfway done with it now just waiting for epoxy to cure. Super easy as long as your epoxy isn't expired :anonymous:

    Haha yeah, mine have held up great so far. Get condensation in them when going through an auto car wash. But my OEM ones did that before I modified them anyways.

    Yeah my OEM ones fog up like crazy anyway. I bought a pair from rock auto to do this on anyway so I'll see how they hold up

    My first attempt my 5 minute epoxy wouldn't cure. That was a mess. That was over a hour ago and it still isn't cured on the mixing board...so I had to run to the store and get some new stuff. I ran out of beer anyway so I got a beer run in too haha.

    Haha wow! Okay the stuff I used wasn't that quick. I'd say solid in about 15 minutes.
    I honestly don't remember what color the wire was. Sorry..... :eek:

    Jacked the front of the truck up and messed with the front end to try and see if I could figure out whether or not my wheel bearings are going bad.

    No play in the hubs.

    No grinding noises when turning by hand. Passenger side was noticeably harder to turn by hand.

    No marks on the wheels or brakes that are out of the ordinary.

    Now I don't really know anything about brakes, so I'm just going to throw these photos up here in case anything looks out of the ordinary.... Haha


    Thanks in advance for any help!
