Slowly ever so Slowly finishing up the Ranger. It's more or less done just little piddly odds and ends tying up.Could have it finished in a day or two if I tried,just not in a hurry as I don't need it and it will be a Mud toy.
Have a few home improvement/upgrades in the works. Going to build new closet/laundry chute and redo the one Bathroom Upstairs.
Going to build wall to wall shelving in the one room down stairs to turn it in to a storage area have to rip out the drop ceiling I put in a few years ago. I disliked it as soon as I put it up and now is the time to get rid of it.
Have to replace a piece of subfloor in one room downstairs it is loose and bugs me when I walk across it.might tear out part of the ceiling it that room to redo the heating ducts were I closed them in and before I refinished the other room and didn't think about running a duct for heat into the room next to it.
Might build new cabinets for the Kitchen and put in new counter tops. I have the counter tops was just going to replace them and got to looking and figured I might as well build new cabinets to go with the new tops.
Just takes time and motivation.

It had a broken spring hanger on the driver;s side rear, I bought the kit, and replaced both hangers, and the shackel. I have the parts for both sides, so That will be next, It also needs shocks, and the power steering pump is leaking. I think I may even repair the 2 rust spots above the wheel wells.

I also have a bathroom to remodel, but am still healing from the ankle reconstruction, so that's on hold. At least I'm off the walker, and using a cane now!!!

Finally getting cold here, I guess they're making snow for the resort now, eh?

Yepper they have been pumping the lake dry to make snow as fast as they can when the temps drop.
15* here now and we got around 8-10" of snow since yesterday about noon.
A mere inconvenience to us locals up here.

Yeah,when your used to this weather, you just deal with it. 8-10" here would shut down everything. I'm missing plowing this year because of the money, but I don't miss the idiots, and bad drivers.
