Proudly was driving my Willys to work to show it off this morning, and the alternator light came on.  Guess I'm wrenching too.  :-[

would like to drive around topless later this weekend,
I figure with all the law enforcement types in the woods I can run the streets that way ::)

Let's see....

was gonna go camping, but need to shovel the car out of the driveway parked in front of the camper.  seems a Cavalier won't plow through 15 inches of wet snow.  That is, if we can find the shovel........

Maybe I should do something about the big tree hanging off the power line to the house at the same time, starting to bend the mast on the house............

Could go down to the shop and track down that nasty vibration in my Avalanche.  That's out seeing as how the boss filled the shop with his scrap cars and took all the keys home ......

Maybe I'll just forget it all and stay home and drink.  ;)

Well I got the drive train installed and managed to drive a couple blocks without breaking anything :)
Way to cold to go topless - the headlight would have been on highbeam ;D

I was out in mclean, and would like to thank jay (barmanjay) for giving me a lift back to town to get some tools to fix my junk I broke out there.

someone told me my "rig" wouldn't make it in the entrance and out to the quarry, so I went, made it in fine, but a ripped cv boot and some muddy water rendered my dodge un-usable, but wile he came out we went through some nice holes nothing I own would even consider.

I got a few pictures of my day trip that turned into 2 days due to the having to replace my axle out there.

Had a good weekend out at Mclean, RC's and forestry guys were out in full force ticketing the messy campsites and all the other idiots!  $170 fine for a messy campsite, and another $170 if they return in 3hrs and its still a mess. Was great to see, the land looked clean when I left this afternoon.  I even got a little blurb in on CTV   :P

"Many campers say they welcomed the increased enforcement and say the area is not only safer during the long weekend but cleaner."

cheers!

they arne't the ones you have to worry about. its the campers in the big areas that lil' stockers and Civics can access easily that leave the most crap around.
