I spent an hour this afternoon replacing the idler/tensioner pullies chasing down a bearing whine. Turned out to be the water pump on its way out.

Pump's on order. Be here tomorrow. So it gets a WP in the morning.

I'm thinking about doing the power steering cooler mod. Just found coolant in the power steering reservoir. And a brake flush while I'm at it too. What the heck.

Switched the driver's seat with the passenger seat because the driver's seat frame snapped in half. Excuse for new seats? I think yes.

Nothing today but last night my wife and I took my T/A to see THOR at the drive-in theater. Never did that before. It was pretty cool and damn are T/A seats comfortable!

Installed my new Farmer shift boot clip to replace the broken plastic one. That thing is freakin' money. Fits perfect and will never break.

Found out someone hit my car in the parking lot yesterday. Just scraped up the front bumper on the passenger side but took off one of the metal tabs that hold on the W68 lip kit. I've had the kit off to get it and the car ready for paint so now I gotta do MORE repair work on that bumper. Son of a bitch (or bitch itself) didn't leave any note or anything.
