I had to do some work to my wheels I drive a 04 dodge 3/4 ton pickup the front axle U joints are toast so Saturday morning bright and early I called the parts store and asked if the needed parts were on hand . Nope. They were ordered and expected ETA was 11;00 2  and a half hour delay, oh well. rounded up the parts and went after it ,and it seamed like every damn bolt fought me to the hilt! I had to make use of my four foot cheater bar to break loose most the hardware but at the end of the day after only a couple more trips to town it was all broken down and ready to clean up and reassemble . Sunday morning after attaining sufficient caffeination I made my way to start putting things back together. I took a wire brush to everything and removed all the crusties and put all the U joints back together , and also put in new brake pads got it all put together and decided to do the other side next weekend. I got cleaned up and visited Mom and wished Her  Happy Mothers Day

    

 So I  have been busy at work ,and also have a ton of stuff around the hacienda I have been working on making the basement shop usable again so that I will be able to get other things done around here. I got enough parts to build a pretty nice five foot workbench. I got the framework for  it from work , they were tossing it . I had a hunk of countertop that fit on pretty well. I had to put in a filler on the back side to make it work but it doesn't look too bad. I have been buying Milwaukee tools through work when I can catch the sales , and I was putting the bench together and went and grabbed a rachet and socket to tighten down a bunch of nuts and looked over and saw the M12 impact Dang I'd totally forgotten I had it well that impact really speeded up the process
