So I feel like I've been pretty productive so far this week.

Sunday - replaced the driver side unit bearing on the 'burban. no pics but trust me it was wobbly and rusted to the rotor (problem solved with a BFH).

Monday - finally mounted the CB that's been sitting in my garage for at least a year.
I was able to run the wires through the headliner and mount it with the keyless entry orb.


I already put it back together for the most part, but I'll try and get some more pics for a write-up.

Tuesday - built a cherpple.

and ate a cherpple

delicious! ...pie and cake combined with creamcheese frosting? doesn't get much better than that.

Wednesday - went shopping >)

Thursday - realized that I started the week doing manly things to my vehicles, but have transitioned to baking and shopping.

I should probably do something macho today.

I would suggest immediately burping, shoot something, then go find something nekkid to look at. Fix ya right up.

Install looks good Matt. Thanks for adding it to the site

thanks Alan. got 2 of them covered so far. :D

Friday: work for a bit then Christmas Service at Poiema and then something famwise and simple

I'll do something macho Sunday

Fine, I'll play too.

Saturday - Christmas shopping and cleaning up after wild party at my house Friday night.

Sunday - sleep, watch football, paint the dining room behind the piano in anticipate of inlaw's visit come Wednesday. Go to church at CCV (www.ccvonline.com) and do more Christmas shopping with the kiddos in the afternoon. Great relaxing day.

Monday - go to work, pretend to work, but really surfing the web doing research on TJ's in case I go that way. Find a couple a like and decide to check one out on the way home. Immediately fall in love with it, freak out, and go home. Share said Jeep with spouse... "intense discussions" result in "whatever... I'm done talking about this" which I interprest as a "yes".

Tuesday - text Jeep guys at 7 AM to tell them I'm going to buy their Jeep. Have to wait until 8 AM to contact bank and get things rollings. Technically I'm at work, but it's really cover to use the phone and fax to line up financing for my new TJ before spouse changes mind. Take pictures on the way home and meet up with Geoff at 6 PM to work on welding the high steer back on the XJ. Show Geoff pics of TJ. Lost a friend. (just kidding, but it was close for a while)

Wednesday - off work, but checking cell phone every 3 minutes to see if loan documents are in. They are! Print them, fill them out, go to the shop with the Jeep so they can sign their part and copy the title, send documents, send begging letter to see if they can FedEx the check overnight so I can get the Jeep before Christmas. Bank is closed Thursday/Friday so today is my only do prior to the holiday to get it. Don't hear back from bank. Inlaws arrive about 6, great family time, everyone goes to bed, then wakes up for the hail storm. Can't sleep after the storm, so sit up watching TV and planning Jeep stuff until 2 AM. Sold the XJ via PM in the early evening. (yeah!)

Thursday - painted more on the house, cleaned up after the storm, and check the front door 12000 times looking for a FedEx truck, praying the check comes today. This is worse than waiting for Christmas to come! Killing time online, but really sitting close to door listening for FedEx truck.

Friday - family day and church service at 1:30 PM. Hoping to be working on the new Jeep, tightening things, painting, and generally fawning over it. If not, drinking coffee, cleanign the garage, and wishing Monday would come around so I could get another crack and my check for my jeep.

Saturday - Christmas morning with KIDS! Always a great time. Afternoon of playing, football... and hopefully working on the new Jeep! If not, just chillin'.
