Got stopped by the cops for a plate light. Bulb and fuse were good. Wire was dead all the way to the tail light. Did not want to look for the bad wire beyond the tail light. Spliced in new wires from the tail lights and now it is good to go.

Went out to work on it, and the extension cord for the welder was no where to be found. The guys that owns the shop I'm working at took it to work with him, so I couldn't do what I needed to do. My friend and I decide to go to Rock Bottom Brewery and toss a few back. We ordered one normal beer, and this:



The best $7.00 I have spent in a while!! Those are 4 ounce glasses, so that is 52 ounces of micro brew beer for $7.00!!

Getting the oil changed and having the U-Joints checked out. Waiting to see if that's the reason for the clunking noise.

Got my Jeep back tonight. I had the u-joints checked, but they're okay. But they found a valve cover gasket leak and my transmission was leaking. Also had the oil changed. Cost me $250.
