Spring Break - Day 9

+

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.

+

This one'll be pretty brief. Sunday was the drive back to Michigan. We got up, finished packing and ran some last minute errands like returning the ignition switch for the CJ-7, re-tourquing the wheel lugs, and visiting with my grandparents one last time.

+

We finally hit the road a little after noon. It was a pleseant enough ride with the expected semi-frequent crazy Chicagoan driver. We had one stop in Kalamazoo to get gas at Costco and continued on from there, and after a while Rex and I split up so I could go see my girlfriend at her grandparents' house for the night. I had dinner, which was great as it always is there, and headed to bed.

+

It's been a great break. Maybe not a "break" but fun nonetheless.

+

Check out the others is this series using the included navagation links at the bottom of each post. It should help not having to back-scroll as much.

Once that was done, we headed to my dad's again to change the oil in the truck. Before leaving, I couldn't help but capture our cars accidentally parked in a staredown.

The last change was 2 years and 7,000 miles ago, so it was time to do so. It hasn't seen much use over that time, so that's why it's been so long. We had our mechanic dog sign off on the job when we were finished.

After, we had dinner with my dad, hung out with Ángel, and headed back for the night to do some more cleaning up. Tomorrow we have some last minute prep to do before heading back to Detroit for school. It's been a fun break.

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.
