    Worked the headache rack today. She cleaned up nice. IMG_2484.JPG IMG_2486.JPG Made it about 200 miles today with a full load of hay. All I can say is WOW what a difference in the ride and I still don't have two of the spring pads in. The new drive tires were a little squirmy but seem to be settling down. Looking forward to the ride after the other spring pads are in next weekend.

    Other side wheels done (actually bought new). Got the other 2 slip pads in. Relaced the front diff output seal (it's been weeping for a while and I've had the new seel for that long too). Installed the blinky oversize lites I've had for almost a year.

    Should have just booked a load to Las Vegas, parked at the Wild Wild West Travel Center, and waited for the guy to knock on your door and ask if you want your tanks and rims polished. IIRC he arrives on a bike loaded with tools for getting it done, gets out a stool and starts sweating for hours to make his keep. He quoted me $80. I turned him down, but was sorry about that when I watched him put in most of the day on the truck across the way. Heck, I'd tip him more than his asking price and throw in a bottle of Colt 45.
