Spring Break - Day 5

It's spring break this week, and seeing as there are lots of things planned, I figured I'd jot down the main points each day.

Today, the goal was to swap the front struts on my dad's truck to lift the front end. He got a new set of wheels

Today, the goal was to swap the front struts on my dad's truck. The front end needed to be lifted to fit the new, used wheels my dad got for relatively cheap, so we set off in the morning to get started.

+

By noon, we almost had the struts out, but were slowed by rusted bolts. We headed to my grandparents' for lunch and to see them since I was back for the week. After a nice meal, we walked around their field for a bit...

Tomorrow, we're going to try and swap some suspension components on my dad's truck, so I can actually have something to drive back to Detroit. We'll see how it goes.

+

...and saw some really old LEGO boxes in the basement.

Lunch was over, and it was time to get to work. It took the rest of the afternoon and evening to get the struts installed and the wheels test fit.

The last thing needed are the nuts that hold the struts to the tower and to swap the rear wheels. The lift spacer makes using the old nuts impossibe, so we'll run to the store in the morning to get new ones. But we were able to test it, and it does mostly clear now, so I should be able to take it back to Detroit. I'm pretty happy about that because being car-less in Detroit is pretty frustrating. Maybe I can also bring the RX50 back if the parts come in before Sunday...

+

With that mostly out of the way, we had dinner and headed back to my mom's for the night. I tried messing with some computer stuff, but it didn't go too well, and I was tired, so I started writting this post. The computer stuff can wait for tomorrow and Friday.

+

Our next adventure includes bringing Ángel back to Milwaukee with the truck once it's fixed. We'll see what else happens the rest of the day. There's plenty to do.
