Day 2974

 I didn't get much sleep last night.  I woke up at 2:30 and after a long time managed to get back to sleep until 4:30.  After that I just gave up and played games until I got up at 7:30 for pet stuff and breakfast.

After breakfast I got out the parts I got yesterday for the Jeep.  The first thing that I did was change the position of the front upper struts.  It wasn't a big change, but it made a noticeable difference in the angle of the front steering.

Then I installed the front shock flex.  That took a while because of the lack of instructions.  There weren't many YouTube videos on the subject either.  The install itself wasn't hard.  The back was easier because I had experience.  Unfortunately it didn't eliminate the shock mounts like I thought it would.  The result looks really good.  I'll test it tomorrow.

I'd noticed last night that the rock slider on the Jeep aren't the right ones.  I double checked the order and the part description was wrong.  I took them off and put them in a plastic bag.  Ellen set up the return and I ordered the correct ones.

The last bit of work to do was install the hitch ball on the trailer hitch and glue the hitch to the Jeep.  That involved going out to the garage to drill a bigger hole in the hitch.  I took the opportunity to put some extra parts away in the parts cases.  It was really cold in the garage, so I took the hitch back to the house to do the gluing.

With the Jeep work done we left for Whole Paycheck to turn in the rock slider.  It was only noon.  You get a lot done when you get up at 7:30.  We turned it in and bought a couple of things.  Then we went to Craigo's for lunch.  They wouldn't take our coupon for lunch, so we used it to buy a pizza for dinner.  Then it was home.

Yo called to say that he was taking Tony to the doctor and that he would try to get the bank statements.  The Medicaid person called while we were at Whole Paycheck to say that they'd closed the application because Tony walked out of rehab.  She's going to keep the information though.

The doctor called with the blood work.  My cholesterol is good.  The ACL is a little elevated from last time but within limits.

I couldn't run the Jeep until I have the new rock sliders.  I have to mount the receiver to them.  I was really tired, so I sat down in the recliner to watch videos.  Of course that led to a nap.

Dinner was Craigo's pizza it was good.  After dinner was videos until I got bored with them.  Then it was surfing.
