Been busy.
Trucks getting new tranny hopefully. Dealer just called me a few minutes ago and said "it's fvcked" I said I know, I brought it to you many times saying we were heading here and you told me to come back when it's really bad. It could barely move under its own power. Drove it there in 2nd gear. 3rd-6th slip and grind. No check engine light tho
Got my balls cut off Tuesday. Wasn't bad. Weirdest part was just having a coworker chopping on my cocknballs.
Finishing up a lot of projects around the house. 2 dump trucks of black dirt spread out and filled the new planters I had made. They're like cow troughs but 2ft deep no floors and powder coated to match the house. Wasn't cheap but it's what the wife wanted.... Regraded the lawn for the 4th or 5th time. Working on replanting grass. Again. Damn grass seed is $2/lb now. I need like 5 more dump trucks, but I don't want to pay for dirt so they'll come when I find the dirt. This load came from a farm that built a new barn and stripped a foot of topsoil to lay the foundation.
Put up a sail shade over the patio. Wife wants another one so that's tomorrow's project.
Took my dad's old truck out of storage so I had something to drive while my trucks in the shop. It has been sitting for at least 10 years and not regularly used for at least 20. I went through it the past few days flushing fluids and replacing parts and hoses and stuff. Couple hundred bucks in parts and probably 8-10 hours of work and I've got something I can drive for a while. I miss 80s-90s vehicles. They were all chit but I know how to work on them entirely.
