Could buy it back and DIY fix it. Turn it into an offroad rig or something :biggrin:

That's not too bad of an idea, its mostly just cosmetic damage nothing major needs to be done and the frame is still intact as it everything under the hood.

With nice weather, and a 3 day weekend, decided to get out for some fresh air. Hit one of the area outlet malls to walk around, get some light cardio and do some window shopping. Ended up buying a new t-shirt and belt, although I did get caught looking at some other good deals.

Swung by Walgreens on the way home, picked up a prescription and a new watch battery, and realized I was out of alcohol on my way out, so ducked into their liquor store and got a couple of bottles. :biggrin:

Now I'm home in time for some playoff football, and just took a pizza out of the oven. Think I'll have myself a couple of cocktails with lunch and clear some DVR space. :cool:

Finished the maintenance on the sled. The bearings for two wheels were in bad shape with the seal gone and the bearings exposed. Replaced the bearings with spares I had. Greased up the rear suspension and the front shaft bearings. Sharpened up the carbides on the skis. She's ready to go. Now just need some more snow to open up the trails.

Working.

Straight Talk. With my $150 iphone I can use Verizon or Sprint towers and even though I lost my completely unlimited Verizon Data plan and went to a 5GB high speed n unlimited low speed i have had zero issues for $45 a month for over a year. I started with importing my droid on Verizon only towers but did the iphone thing to facetime with kids. I definitely did not get the koolaid with the iphone though cause i miss my droid.

About to get the parker hale cleaned/oiled up and take it to my cousins mountain. Gonna get it sighted in then sight in my cousins winchester and show him not all .308's are created equal. 1# of tannerite will be placed various distances up to 3/4 mile away. The parker hale will win. Loser pays for the rounds and tannerite.

After that some capture the flag with paintball guns with about 14 people. Losers buy the steak and cook it on open fire.

So my youngest tells me that the brake pedal in her Mazda 3 feels soft, I check it out and no brake fluid in the reservoir. Top it up and check for leaks and found it wet under the master cylinder and it's done and off to the part store I go to open it up for the day. Not only was I the first customer but now I am on first name basis with them(is that good or bad?) . Job is done so time to bleed the system all good and pedal is back to normal then all hell brakes loose. As we are bleeding the lines all of a sudden fluid starts shooting out of the one caliper piston seal(WTF) check the other side and guess what? It is seeping. I then decide to call my buddy at his garage to see if I can get it on a hoist, we do only to find out that we are now replacing all four calipers, rotors, Pads, well you got the just of it and they are special order to boot so she is on the hoist until Monday and having someone else besides me do the job as I have no time on Monday to do it.

My Saturday afternoon rant with my Bacardi and coke now watching the PGA.

Replaced a friend's old fuse box that was poorly wired with a proper, up to date breaker box. Also pulled his 2WD Dakota out of his yard when he tried parking it off the side of the drive and sunk the passenger wheels a good 2-3" in mud and got it stuck.

Day off. Prepping for snow storm starting tonight and will be heavy during my drive to work in the morning. Will go over the enclosed sled trailer I bought not long ago, installing the license plate holder w/light and possibly replacing the taillights with LED's.
