I try everyday to do something right. I am successful about 50% of the time. I hope to spend some time in the garage this week and weekend. I have so many tools to put away and general cleaning to do in the garage. Hard to believe I got this much stuff cluttering up the garage right now.

I did finally get out to the garage. Managed to get the tools piled in one place. I put away three sets of Jack Stands and two Heaters. Now I can actually get to the tool box to put the tools away.

I have managed to dig out me tool box and work bench. Now I am moving further out into the garage. I plan on getting the wheels mounted to the cab so I can move it outside for power washing!

So no progress at all. Another small set back health wise, but it is improving. Can't pick up anything right now and the better half is there to see I make a complete recovery.

I worked on the truck this weekend! We were power washing the walls at home, so while that was going we did the rear drums. It was a start anyways. Then today I finally started building the cradle for moving the cab into the driveway for power washing. Hotter than heck but I got things going. :fr:

Got one set of wheel attached to the front of the cab. Now working on the rear. One good thing that has happened with all the negative health issues is that I am 40lbs lighter today than I was at xmas! Had an Echocardiogram Thursday and I do have a heart after all and it appears to be working. Hope to be able to post some pics soon of the cab being rolled out for power washing!

Got out to the Garage last night for a while. I was able to get the heater box and vent removed from the passenger side. I vacuumed out the critter remnants. I am still getting the rear wheels attached to the cab but there are a few other things to get done before pressure washing can start. I have to pull the drivers side vent and i want to remove the original firewall pad in one piece :pray: . Felt great to get some work done again. I will try and get back out tonight and try for some pics too.
