Adventures In Truckdom
Doors … Done? Anything … Done?
I set out to do a number of little tasks on my truck today — all of which I thought I was going to be able to knock out and then be done working on my truck for the coming week. Best laid plans …
After starting in on my truck I found I needed to spend some time addressing the storage of one of my cars along with some spare body parts I have for my truck. All of this needed immediate attention and it sucked up a bunch of time! Frustrating, but stuff like that happens.
My plans today were to finish the work on both of my truck doors — seal the gutter rubber, transfer a seal from the bottom of my old passenger door to the new one, pull the windshield washer bottle and change the pump, restocked cab, and install a seat cover.
What did I get done? … Restocked the cab a bit, half finished the doors, and pulled the windshield washer bottle. I also had to re-work the passenger door because I screwed up a bit when I built it. Nothings broken, I just put some stuff on backwards — which I kind of need to take it apart again tomorrow and check the other bits.
Oh, I also got some sandbags into my bed today for winter traction.
What else did I accomplish? I’m tired and sore. Going on 3 years ago I was in a car accident and got whiplash; I think I’m mostly healed now and back to normal, but sometimes I wonder that I’m still recovering some of my strength and stamina. Some of it too could be that I’ve also gotten older in the mean time. Poo. But, I’m not one to give up, not one to stop pushing or trying — NOPE!
Here’s the thing… I have plans to leave for the weekend — plans that are important to me — and I need my truck a bit more ready than it has been. I think I can get everything else done tomorrow.
I’m not sure if I forgot something above. I’m not sure if this is written at all well. I’m sore and tired … I mentioned that, right?
