This has been a frustrating week for my purple car, U haul has sent me 3 different hitches and this one was the most wrong.  S550 hitch. 

 

Plus I have had the joy of dealing with the moron at Arizona Mopar parts. He sent me the wrong badge (ordered purple) and filled the box with a bank statement and a soup beans bag. I got burned out arguing with him and just gave up. Gives me a excuse to buy a white noen. 

On a good note, a seller on ebay posted what i was looking for and my search caught it. Ordered 2 so i could have a spare. 

 

The wrong one I got. 

 

The right one I got from ebay.

Friday morning the Mrs. got rear ended on her way into work in the blue wagon. It at worst needs a bumper cover and a exhaust. But since it was undrivable we cleaned the inside of the white wagon along with chaning the oil, checking all the fluids (they were all changed when we got it) and put on the new tires finally. 

This weekend we played with the bucked truck. We ran it for close to 4 hours working the bugs out of it. Its pretty good at this point. 

A buddy of mine took some pictures of his yellow S2000 under our yellow tree... So here is a yellow tractor picture.

Got the tractor split to replace a input shaft seal. It is a old leather one..... Only lasted 75 years. We had 2 axle seals leak pretty much right after flushing the fluid in it. We think the detergents in the modern oil ate the leather. 

 

Also finally got these in. Only took like a month. 

 

Also picked up my new snow tires.

Well long weekend let me get a ton done. 

Did ball joints on both neons. 

Got my hitch installed and wired on purple car. 

 

Ran all my mowers and small motors to get fuel stabilizer in them. 

 

Drove the bucket truck to the house. Drove well, it needs front end work bad.... Like really bad. 

 

We helped the neighbor guy trim his tree Friday afternoon, and it started missing and in general running bad. We thought it was a fuel issue since the ignition system is strong, so we cleaned the carb, changed both fuel filters and put 20gal of gas with heet in it. Came back the next day to clean our gutters and it would not start, the battery was flat dead. 

A quick charge with my charger (love the thing) and it fired up. Soon as it was running pretty smooth we pulled the leads off and it quickly started running bad. After some investigation we determined that the alternator was not charging, so we ran it off my little charger all day, it ran 5 hours on a half of tank of fuel.

Well the head unit in the R/T has been taking a E36 M3 for like 2 years and it was really bad this morning I pulled the trigger and decided it was time for a new one.....

I bought this based on reviews online, and one buddy who has one in his TT car. I dont need any super high quality sound, just something better than my 12 year old sony that doesnt like the cold.

Got my sub $10 Blaupunkt  radio installed... I really like it. 

The reason I was replacing it was my 12 year old sony in there was dying. When it is cold it quits working. Good time to uprade. 

Wiring I pulled out. 

New one in and wired up.
