Also did some trading with a buddy, and got a couple rc crawlers. One complete, one mostly complete, and 3 different bodies. The goal will be to get the buggie looking body set up as a hard core rig, and get the other chassis set up mostly stock for the wife, or whatever


The two full bodies ( one is cut down)

So got to use the generator again also! Had it running for 5 days. We had weather come in and some ice. Brought down trees all over and messed up lots of lines. I have a big tree to clean up at some point.

Camper shelter to the rescue!! The ice melted the next day, and snowed the following day.

The most inconvenient thing was keeping it fueled up. It will run everything but the hot tub at once. So for what it was we was doing much better than many in our area.

And one of the most recent things is that I sold the Saturn this weekend. Good little car, but just a little bit toooo little. Fine for one person. But bumping elbows with two. So gonna get the nicer grand prix going again and use that for milage.

Little brother wrecked his car and dad went to get it with the Tahoe. Had a tire throw the tread, ripped off the fender from the trailer. However it didn't loose air!

Then the fun of dealing with seized caliper pins on the hoe. Had a little grinding, had to get the caliper bracket red hot to get the pins out. Drill bit in the hole, wire brush, and grease the snot out of them, with the cheapest pads I could get my hands on, as in a couple months I am hoping to have the pickup going, and be ripping the axles out for one tons and solid axle swap.
