i tightened down the little allen bolt on top of the steer box. really helped to tighten up the loose feel in the steering. then I broke the tranny cooler line which runs right over top of that bolt. grrr. so i replaced that with a new one from Napa. Was not as difficult as i imagined at first.

Painted my front bumper all at once, think it looks hot. Just the rear bumper and miscellaneous things like door handles are left to do. Fixing a massive transmission leak in an f150 tomorrow so no dice. Maybe Wednesday

I live only about 1/4 of a mile from my work, but I still drive. But I don't usually go home right after work.
