Shift

Posted on Tuesday, March 16th, 2021 at 10:59 am

Today is the day I intend to finally end a two year of procrastination and rebuild the shifter.


I took Sunday and Monday off to build steam after last week’s endeavors. It was needed R&R. The body is in much better shape, though there are still minor aches and pains across the upper back from tire juggling. I haven’t returned to cooking yet, but I’m focusing my physical efforts on getting the truck inspected.


There is a movement afoot to start Music School again for those of us who have been vaccinated.


Still no sign of the stimulus deposit yet. But I have traditionally been later in the list, and the IRS has been swamped with numerous issues during tax season. Not in a big hurry, as long as it gets here.


It’s definitely spring. The windows stayed open all night, 70s and 80s during sunlight hours. New green is starting to show. I planted a new tray of oat grass seed for Myka, as the ones I started in September are turning spotty brown as it starts to go to seed.




Done, after two years hesitation. I only made two mistakes that were reversible without harm. And I got there. Getting the three allen bolts out with a hammer and chisel was the tough part. Now I have a new habit to learn.
.

All the old parts removed.


Now trash to the curb and I’m done for the day. I may bleed the brake tomorrow, either here or take it in. I could take it out for a spin. Wouldn’t hurt to blow out the injectors.
