Well, late this afternoon I went to prep my truck for this Saturday's trail ride. (This will be the first trail ride for my new-to-me '90 Blazer.) The plan was:
Install steering brace.
Remove sway bar.
Install CB radio.
Replace brake pads.
Remove 2 of the 4 front shocks.
So, I now live in an apartment, but the Church I attend up the street lets me do work on my truck in their lot. My tools are stored at my office at the University. So I "prepared" and drove over to the church to do the work...
1. Went to install the steering brace but forgot my drill so I couldn't drill out the front crossmember for the brace.
2. Went to remove the sway bar, but needed a giant socket or monkey wrench, which were both left at my office at the school.
3. Forgot to pick up my antenna and coax cable from the storage unit the other day when I was there, and I'm headed back tomorrow so it didn't make sense to do an extra run today.
4. Left the damn brake pads at home.
5. The bottom shock mount bolts are terribly long and need to be replaced with something shorter when I remove the extra shock, so I didn't pull them.
If I were to go back out and get everything, it would have been near dark by the time I got started again.
So, truck projects: 5, me: 0.
Tomorrow, I hope.
